School:

Solon High School

Ohio Graduation Competencies:

·        Represent and use real numbers in a variety of equivalent forms (1).

·        Estimate and compute with real numbers (2).

·        Apply rates, ratios, proportions, and percents (3)

·        Write, interpret, simplify, evaluate, and/or use algebraic expressions and

formulas (4).

·        Apply visualization, spatial sense, and properties of two-dimensional figures and three-dimensional objects (10).

·        Use measurement techniques including scale drawings, formulas, and geometric relationships to find length, perimeter, area, surface area, and volume (11).

·        Communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and solutions through the use of appropriate mathematical terminology, notations, symbols, definitions, models, and other representations (15).

·        Apply problem-solving strategies and evaluate processes, strategies, calculations, and solutions to verify reasonableness; and use mathematical reasoning to validate and/or generalize approaches, arguments, strategies, and solutions (16).

Project/Task:

Students will be presented with a real world problem and will create a multimedia-enhanced presentation that makes connections using extrema of polynomial functions, solving equations, writing proportions and graphing polynomials.

Assessment:

Traditional: quizzes, daily homework assignments, study guides, class participation, portfolio and exam.

PBL: multimedia-enhanced, web based, nonlinear presentation, assessed according to multimedia rubric

Learning Strategies:

1.    Discuss Pythagorean theorem applications.

2.    Discuss the significance of modeling real world problems involving polynomial functions.

3.    Periodic assessment: quizzes, study guides, board work, etc.

4.    Graphing calculator activities.

5.    Introduce PBL unit

Tools:

Computers, digital cameras, digital camcorders, scanners, web directories
