[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Enriched Math - very little homework  - just started doing projects.  Projects look interesting so far.  DC is engaged and enjoying it but still breezing through it (although not as much as he is breezing through non-enriched english and world studies, having missed the cut-off for world studies).  That doesn't seem to be the case for many of the kids judging from the offers of retakes of quizzes and my child's (admittedly spotty) reports.[/quote]

Can you give us some info about the projects? Thank you![/quote]

Ok - so a group project, and, admittedly, I haven't actually seen it - but it's buying a taco truck and figuring out what to sell, the prices, how to design it, etc.[/quote]

My kid recently did a sales campaign (design, ads, pricing/discounts to move product in different scenarios, taxes, etc) on a product the group picked based on research. [/quote]

That sounds like more fun than the worksheets in regular IM but not particularly enriching in terms of content.[/quote]

I would be sorely disappointed if this is what considered enrichment in middle school math. [/quote]
