A project where pupils aim to research mathematics in real world scenarios. They have to research jobs, what maths is present in them and present their findings to the classroom. They are encouraged to research in a variety of ways, including the internet, papers, interviewing people and visiting workplaces.
Pupils should be in teams for this, with each given a specific role. They then present their findings to the class together. Pupils are encouraged to list resources they used.
This is a good project and works on relevance for mathematics in the real world to answer the ever burning question - "Where will I ever use this?"

Looks like an ideal way of relating classroom to the outside world. I may add some slides explaining about roles in the group and perhaps use sports and hobbies as a source of possible research depending on the type of class.
