Abstract - Projects in high school play a significant role in students developing skills with applying mathematical strategies that they learn in real world situations. According to the article, Using Real World - Projects to Help Students Meet High Standards in Education and the Workplace, "Academic rigor - Projects require higher order thinking skills and research methods from academic and technical fields". Math Projects are elementary steps that equip students with basic tools on dealing with research work in the near future. Also, it answers students' popular question during a mathematical session, "where are we going to use mathematical strategies that we are learning in this lesson?" Explore a Real Example is an imaginated case (fiction story-cartoon) that may happen in real life, nonetheless, I improvised the artistic scenario, and conveyed it into the cartoon. When I was a child, my favorite cartoon was Popeye. Therefore, I created Popeye as a main character in the story. Moreover, questions came as a product of nonlinear systems combining with other mathematical topics. Questions in the project require translating the word problem into the mathematical statements; moreover, results will be interpreted analytically and graphically (geometrically).
