Assignment Task
Decide on the project Previous ideas include:
- Music Festival
- Sports Carnival
- Releasing a Music Track
- Rodeo
- Wedding / Party
- Shop / Café
- Drama / Dance Production
- TV Show
The list is endless… the more creative and unique you can be the better
Decide on the key tasks involved in the project. Provide a quick summary of each task below:
Decide on an approximate timeline for each of the tasks (try to keep to the same units e.g. hours / days / weeks) E.g. Task A 30 – 40 days
Draw a network diagram of the project.
If you are aiming in the A band – would suggest having a dummy link included in the network.
You may need to tweak the key tasks / pre-requisites to get a nice network diagram that would be good to work with for the rest of the investigation.
Start writing up this section of the investigation in as much detail as possible – investigations are all about communicating your understanding of the maths involved. The more you can showcase your knowledge and understanding the better.
I would suggest using the following headings as a guide (change the wording as you please):
- Title
- Introduction
- Key Tasks
- Estimated Time Frame
- Pre-requisite Tasks
- Network Diagram
Make sure all tables / diagrams are introduced and labelled so the reader knows exactly what they are looking at.
Include any assumptions / limitations throughout each section
- Assumptions – what has been assumed
- Limitations – what has limited the findings
Avoid using textboxes as this makes formatting a nightmare later-on
