Q&A

Description

Students always ask, "Do I REALLY need to know this?" or "Why do I have to do/know this?" "Will I ever use this again?" YES! With this project you can show students that math is all around them while assessing common core standards and allowing students the freedom of choice.

The project has four main parts: Research, Predictions followed by research, budgeting, and the project itself.

Students will choose a dream career and research the salary, education, expenses (mortgage, gas, car, electric), and compile it into one project of their choice (ppt, prezi, powtoon, scrapbook, or report) and include graphs of percent of income used and other key information like where does my job use math.

This includes percents, addition, subtraction, multiplication, graphs/charts, research, and so much more!

CCSS6.NS.C.5

Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge); use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.

CCSS7.NS.A.3

Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers.

CCSS7.EE.A.1

Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.

CCSS7.EE.B.3

Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.

CCSS6.RP.A.3c

Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.
