The Pyramid Project

The Pyramid Project is a math and science scholar project based on Inteligro Math. It is designed for students 12 and older.

The purpose of the Pyramid Project is to provide an atmosphere where the Characteristics of a Scientist are developed, Truth is sought after and recognized, Logic and reason are developed, and the desire to study Newtonian Math becomes a life-long habit.

Prerequisites

• Arithmetic
  • add, substract, multiply, divide
  • know how to use a calculator for square roots, etc.
• Have an Appropriate Math Text
  • Saxon, Math-U-See, Jacobs, Singapore, etc.

4 Inteligros

Inteligro Math is the holistic approach to math and science. Just as a pyramid has 4 cornerstones, so does Inteligro Math. They explain why we need math and science, how to do math and science, and just exactly what math and science is.

1. Truth
   • Any mathematician or scientist who made a difference in the world was working to seek after and recognize Truth.
2. Logic
   • Mathematicians or scientists who found answers or posed experiments that benefitted mankind could take ideas to a clear end, using Logic.
3. Characteristics of a Scientist
   • Every mathematician and scientist, no matter their field, have certain habits and traits in common. These are called the Characteristics of a Scientist, and they can be learned and developed.
4. Newtonian Math
   • The truth that is discovered or uncovered by probing, interested, excited mathematicians and scientists is the conveyed to the world through their measurements and calculations using the language of mathematics, which is Newtonian Math.
