Standard: Use Math to Solve Problems and Communicate

Component of Performance How activity addresses component Understand, interpret, and work with pictures, numbers, and symbolic information. Students will recognize the math in a variety of real-life materials. Apply knowledge of mathematical concepts and procedures to figure out how to answer a question, solve a problem, make a prediction, or carry out a task that has a mathematical dimension Students will determine what procedures they use to solve a problem and what areas of math they have difficulties with. Define and select data to be used in solving the problem Students will assess their adult roles to determine during which activities they use math. Determine the degree of precision required by the situation Students will assess which math activities provide accurate solutions. Solve problem using appropriate quantitative procedures and verify the results are reasonable Students will determine when they use appropriate procedures to solve a problem. Communicate results using a variety of mathematical representations, including graphs, charts, tables, and algebraic models Students will discuss times they have used mathematical representations.

Purposeful, Transparent, Building Expertise

Purposeful and Transparent Students will expand their view of math by sharing their ideas on what math is. Contextual The plan is related to real world experiences of the students. Using realia insures the students continue to feel linked to practical situations. Building Expertise Students are using their personal background and experience to expand their understanding of the Math Standard and components of performance.
