Math 2:  In place of your blog post due on September 24, you will complete the Calling All Superheroes project that will be handed out in class on September 15.

Honors Math 3:  The link to your project is below!  In place of reading an article, you will work in groups to complete this linear programming project and upload each part to your blog.  Your post will only need to be posted on one group member’s blog, but you will need to upload clear pictures of all your work as well as the video containing your commercial.  Let me know if you have any questions!

Cookie Linear Programming Project Fall 14

For your very first blog post, you’ll be reading an article on how researchers and mathematicians have attempted to use measurable characteristics, like height, weight, and arm span, to predict NBA success in high school and college basketball players.  To read the article, click here: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/beautiful-minds/2014/08/05/what-predicts-nba-success/
