SL Maths Exploration Ideas Feedback?

Hey guys! :)

 

My year was asked to think about ideas that we would do for our maths exploration, and I've been searching for the past week for any ideas. I have a few ideas, however I'm not sure whether they'd be sufficient for SL Maths. 

 

Also, one huge problem I have is that I might have a stimulus, or a general idea I'm interested in, but I'm a little unclear on what I should do to explore further.

 

We'll get to ask our teacher for feedback in about a few days' time, however I want to get your feedback as well so that I can make changes asap :D

 

So my ideas are:

 

1) Cyclic pentagon

- I watched a video online, and they were suggesting something about measuring the angles in each vertex of the pentagon, although I think we're supposed to go further than that :/

 

2) Vampire Numbers

- I find the concept interesting, but I'm not sure what I can beyond this- should I find a code and try decoding it using the Vampire Numbers?

 

3) Hexademicals

- Tbh I got this idea from a game I played (and really loved), but once again I'm not sure what I should explore.

 

4) Number of a specific animal over time

- This was actually given to me by my teacher as a suggestion, and she said I could take an animal (e.g. sumatran rhinos) and research for information regarding the numbers left in the wild and the amount of conservation money put into saving these animals. I can then use methods such as exponential functions, line of regression or something like that (I'm not entirely sure either :( )

 

I'm so sorry for sounding as though I'm a lazy bum who hasn't put in effort to think of good ideas- I've really really tried and I can't seem to find any good ideas :(

 

Thank you so much in advance for any form of feedback! x
