Culminating Task The student will create a presentation that: Presents a model that elicits an answer to the prompt; Describes the process of problem-solving; References the classroom activities and discussions that preceded the task and how they impacted the process; References other sources and how they impacted the process; Justifies the findings; and Uses technology as appropriate to enhance the communication of his/her findings. Content/Sources/Materials Equipment Needed Computers, camera, and graphing calculator Formative Tasks, Directions and Instructional Supports Welcome. Math is beautiful. It is also messy. Rarely is the solution to any complex problem one easy integer. It is rational, irrational, non-existent, or often exists as a whole range of numbers. Most citizen mathematicians are employed in a field other than pure math research. There is math application by people in all walks of life, where problem solving happens through using the tools with which each practitioner is comfortable and fluent. It can be a messy and exhausting and exciting process of discovery. Nobody knows the answer or the best method by which to find it; this is why the problem needs to be solved. We hope to represent this state of discovery and cyclical review within this performance task. There will be no answer guide, as there is no one right answer. We are looking for students to use their math skills creatively and justify their process effectively. We are looking for students to communicate
