    For this project, I would like you to write your own Living Proof essay about your personal mathematical journey intersecting with your math identity, addressing the following prompts in any order you’d liked:
    In your life so far, what have you found intriguing about math? What have you found challenging or intimidating?
    What has your experience been like in your previous math classes from elementary school till Phillips Academy? What made your experience more positive or negative?
    What was the biggest challenge you faced in your mathematical journey so far? How did you overcome it or how are you working on overcoming it?
    What has been your proudest moment in your mathematical journey so far?
    What are some skills that you’ve developed and lessons that you’ve learned that have helped you grow into a young mathematician?
    How do you commit to helping everyone feel that they belong in our math class and our school community? How would you like your classmates to help you feel that you belong in our math class and our school community?

    Converting Measurements

    Converting Measurements Project 
    Have you ever taken a trip to another country, or have you ever dreamed of doing so? There are a lot of beautiful places in the world, and each one is unique and special.
    One of the ways certain countries may be different than others is in their standard units of measure. For example, in the United States, the most common way to measure a long distance is in miles, but in many other countries, it’s kilometers.
    In this project, you’ll be measuring some items around your home and converting their measurements from one system to another.
    For each section, please choose a different item. You will need to measure the item yourself for the first measurement, then show the equation and calculation you did to arrive at the second measurement.
    ITEM 1: an item that you can pick up by yourself (i.e. book, pillow, TV remote, etc)
    Item you chose: __________
    Length in inches: _____________________
    Length in centimeters (show work for full credit): ___________________________
    ITEM 2: an item that you can pick up by yourself (i.e. book, pillow, TV remote, etc)
    Item you chose: _____________________
    Weight in pounds: ____________________
    Weight in kilograms (show work for full credit): __________________________
    ITEM 3: an item you can’t pick up by yourself (i.e. table, couch, bedframe, etc)
    Item you chose: _____________________
    Length in feet: ____________________
    Length in meters (show work for full credit): ___________________________
    ITEM 4: A liquid container (i.e. glass or bowl from your kitchen) – fill the item with water or another liquid 
    Item you chose: ______________________
    Volume in cups: ____________________
    Volume in milliliters (show work for full credit): __________________________
    Paragraph question
    When we think about other parts of the world and the different ways they do things, sometimes we can tend to think that our way is the best way. Write a paragraph (at least three sentences) about what the Bible teaches us about how God created everyone equally and how every person from every culture, regardless of what measurements they use or what food they eat or what language they speak, is cherished and loved by God.
    Grading Rubric:
    You can get a 0 by not fulfilling the minimum category. Your final grade will be calculated based on the score from the rubric below using the following formula:
    Your grade = (total points ÷ 25) * 100 =
