==Project Purpose==
 * Math is found and used everywhere in our world.** This collaborative project is designed to provide a place for students and teachers to share their experiences with math and discover the connection of mathematics study to their own real world experiences.

>> == == Do you have students who wonder... >>>>> **When will I ever use this in my life?** >>>>> **Will I really use math outside of school?** >>>>> **Do I really use it my everyday life?** >>>>> **Who really uses math in their jobs?** >>>>> **What kind of math is needed for different kinds of jobs?** >>>>> **Does math really make a difference?**>> >>>> > ==Students in all of the grade levels will be participating in this project which will culminate in our presentation during [|Megaconference Jr. 2008] on February 21. We currently have 12 other classes from across the US, China, and Australia participating in our project. We are looking forward to some amazing global collaborations. Through these collaborations, we hope to discover ways that mathematics is found everywhere across our world, expand our understanding of the universality of mathematics, and further understand the role of math in our everyday lives.==
