Sba Math Topics Csec 2022-23

This document provides 20 potential topics for students' SBA math projects, divided into two categories: Measurement and Consumer Arithmetic, and Statistics and Experimental. For Measurement and Consumer Arithmetic, topics include calculating the cost of air conditioning a house, comparing finger ratios between males and females, estimating costs to repaint a house, determining the water harvesting capacity of a roof, analyzing the financial viability of solar power or poultry farming compared to wage work. For Statistics and Experimental, topics suggest investigating relationships between variables such as palm size and foot area, body mass index and athleticism, study time and grades, as well as comparing familiarity with metric vs customary units and analyzing randomness in lottery numbers. Students are also invited to
