toc =Stage 2 Determine Acceptable Evidence.=

Role: You are looking for a job in technology and mathematics. Audience: High school math students who want to see real life quadratics in action in order to study for the SATs. Situation: You have been hired by the SAT Board of Directors to make a wiki page that gives real world samples of quadratic equations to allow high school students to practice for their SATs. Product/Presentation: Make a wikispace giving quadratic equations with a link for the different problems with answers. Standards (criteria from both rubrics): Wiki page: content, naviagtion, content accuracy, learning of material, creativity, and cooperative work Presentation: content, layout, comprehension, creativity/props, enthusiasm, and listens to other presentations. || •tests/quizzes- using examples from quizzes and tests to solve problems. Did students learn from their mistakes? •lesson assignments- examples done in class and homework || •discussions- where does the quadratic formula derive from? What is the point? •Blog reflections- did you like the project? What did you learn? What did you like/dislike? •rubric- did you follow the rubric and understand it? || =Assessment Task Blue Print=

 * •pre-assessment- what do you know about quadratic equations? Do you know any methods of solving them?

//**What understandings/goals will be assessed through this task?**// **(G)** Grades 9-Diploma 2. Students solve families of equalities and inequalities b. Solve quadratic equations graphically, by factoring in cases where factoring is efficient, and by applying the quadratic formula. ||

 * //**Task Description:**// **(T)** ||
 * The SAT Board of Directors need a team of people to create a new and improved SAT with real world applications. Your job is to make, solve, and practice 5 to 7 real life situation problems because high school students are complaining that quadratic equations have nothing to do with everyday life and they just don't want to learn about them. It is your task to make and solve these real life quadratic equations, using several of the methods for solving, including graphing. You will need to come up with a cool team name and make a colorful, catchy wiki space with the practice questions on it. Includes links to get to the different problems, and with each problem, show how the answer was found (showing your work!). You may work in pairs to research true SAT questions and then make a wiki page. And finally, when you get your wiki space up and running for those high school students that are thirsting for knowledge, you must have at least two teams check out, proof read, and comment on your page. Remember- mistakes look very unprofessional! ||
