In order to get to school next year, you need to drive through this neighborhood. If today is Friday April 20th, in how many weeks does this project need to be finished in in order for you to get to school on Friday September 7th?

2. If this project costs about $200 a week, and the project lasts for 10 weeks, how much money is going to be taken out of the city's budget that could possible be spent on more important things such as a neighborhood park?
I like the pictures you choose around the community. The picture you used to create your questions around is meaningful and one that students can relate to. The first questions allows students to solve the question in multiple ways. Someone can look at the calendar and count the days while another knows how many days are in each month and can work out the math using prior knowledge. I would count this questions to be procedures with connections. the second questions is a little more straight forward. The student would just have to multiply to figure out the answer. I would say this is procedures without connections.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Michelle, I found your pictures to represent the community very well and students would be able to relate to these pictures. I think that in both problems students can use a calendar to get a greater understanding of how the days of the week work and how you can incorporate math in understanding these ideas. I agree with Michelle in the idea that the first question would be considered procedures with connections, meaning the students can incorporate different ideas with the question. The second question would be procedures without connections because the students do not need to do anything but multiply. I think that these are both very good questions! Good Job!
