To Code or Not to Code

Description:

Codes and ciphers have been used to protect the integrity of written communications for centuries. Early codes were developed to encrypt sensitive information in times of war to deceive enemies and spies. In this activity, students will research codes and ciphers on ProQuest and use the information they gather to develop a code or cipher of their own.

Standard #2

Students will develop their ability to communicate mathematically by solving problems in which there is a need to obtain information from the real world through reading, listening and observing; to translate this information into mathematical language and symbols; to process this information mathematically; and to present results in written, oral and visual formats.

Through the investigation of meaningful problems, individually or in cooperative groups while using appropriate technology, all students will be able to:

2.01 model real-world situations using oral, written, concrete, pictorial, graphical and algebraic methods;
