INTEGRATED MATH 1
How can we model for the safety and profitability of the business?
​
Students learn about mathematical modeling, variables, expressions, functions, and spreadsheets as they help to answer some questions posed to them by the CEO of 'Bridge Bungees.'
JOURNEY of a LIFETIME
How long would it take to travel around the world? And what could we learn about along the way about the mathematics of various cultures?
​
Students learn about rate, linear functions and equations, and graphical interpretation as they take a trip around the world. They stop to learn the math history of peoples of South America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
Wealth of a Nation
How is wealth distributed in the United States and elsewhere?​
Students learn about data representation and statistical reasoning as they consider the complexities of wealth distribution, potential causes, social ramifications, and their future.
FASCINATING FRACTALS
Can we count something that is infinite?
​
Students learn about patterns, recursion, and sequences as they explore the mind-bending world of fractal geometry. They consider the paradox of measuring a shape that is infinitely complex.
CAR PURCHASE CONUNDRUM
Is it better financially and environmentally to purchase gas or electric?
​​
Students learn about and use systems of functions and equations to analyze both the financial and environmental costs of buying gas, hybrid, and electric cars.
stop-motion shapes;
How can we use mathematics to create animation?
​
Students learn about coordinate systems, transformational geometry, and rigid motion as they create their own animations using JavaScript.
FUELING CLIMATE CHANGE
What are the possibilities and limitations of modeling climate change?​​
Students learn about and use exponential functions and mathematical modeling to understand the various contributors of climate change, leading to discussions of mitigating actions.
Mathematical Manufacturing
How can manufacturers maximize their resources?
​
Students learn about systems of inequalities and linear programming to help a local small business make the best use of their resources.
