Welcome to Creative Maths! In this unit, you will come up with your very own mathematical system, which you can then transfer to the real world. In fact, MHS’s current treasurer is a graduate of the Creative Maths course. There are three modules in this course, each designed to make sure you get the best learning experience possible: Preparation of the mind, Creative Maths, and Career Aspirations.
Preparation of the Mind
Take some deep breaths. Go for a hike in the woods. This is your recommended location:
Preparation of the Mind

…Good. Get your classmates, friends and family to do the same. It’s much easier to concentrate without those annoying distractions.
Now come up with your own way of doing maths! Provided is an example system (although not all of it, as plagiarism is highly discouraged, and we seek to eventually stamp it out one way or another.)
Basic Addition:
2 + 3 = (variable)
90 + 2 = π2
4 + 5 ≠ 9. Rather it equals everything else.
(To get top marks, you will need to figure out alternatives to every sum possible)
New Symbols (extra credit only):
J = I am very happy today.
© = No Stealing.
™ = [insert complex equation here]
(In the actual course, you must completely rewrite maths, changing everything, from simple addition to algebraic topology.)
Submit unfinished and/or finished works here for feedback! It doesn’t matter if you haven’t even finished one section – we would love to give you constructive criticism.
Career Aspirations
So many careers can be accessed with your new creative maths knowledge. So go get a job! MHS demands at least 70% of your daily income for our help in teaching you.
