In partners, students will use their knowledge of numbers, counting and 2-D shapes to prepare and share trail mix.  They will draw a label for their mix that shows they understand the shapes of the ingredients (circle, square, rectangle, and triangle). They will compare the amounts of...

In the broadest sense, learning progressions describe how students’ learning typically develops across and within domains of mathematics. In this way, learning progressions can help teachers to understand the learning experiences that could support individual and groups of students in making...

In this report, Phil Daro, Frederic Mosher, and Tom Corcoran describe what learning trajectories are and how they can be used in mathematics. Specifically, the report describes strategies for using learning trajectories for assessment, instructional purposes, and the development of the Common...

Students will create a math model to predict the path of a projectile. They will be required to complete and submit a formal paper of their problem solving process and solution for their scenario.

The essential question that this task poses to students is: How can I become a well-informed, cost-conscious consumer of goods and services using my mathematical skills?

In this task, students have the opportunity to choose a good or service that they would like to purchase. 

After...

In this task, students will be asked to write an article about how the cost of education has increased over time.

Students will be required to create scatterplots and graphs that demonstrate their knowledge of linear equations to use in their article. They will also be turning in their...
