Presentation:Enthusiasm 15%, Preparedness 25%, Comprehension 25%, Stays on Topic 15%, Speaks Clearly 10%, and Posture/Eye Contact 10% Product: Diagrams and Sketches: 20%, Mathematical Concepts: 25%, Neatness and Organization: 15%, Design 20%, Detail 15%, Originality 5% || •**Instructables:** Students will create an instruction guide to evaluate equations and post it online. •**Glogster:** Students will create posters that display basic ideas of linear equations. •**Audio Recording:** Interview a professional that used exponential equations in his/her career. •**Wordle:** Create a collage of situations where equations can be used. •**Photo portfolio:** Students can take photos of objects shaped like functions and use programs to find the equation for the shape. || •**Checking for Understanding:** Thumbs up, check papers, 4 corners, muddy windshield, post it notes on work and in books, calling on everyone on an assignment. •**Timely Feedback:** Self:Checklist. The check lists will be a short list of requirements for each assignment or project. Peer: Pair share. Pair share is a method that has students pair up and share their ideas, papers, assignments, or other tasks at the time. The other student shares and then both reflect on the products shared and give feedback. Teacher: I will use periodic check in for larger projects and interviews at the end of the projects in order to get a sense of how the student felt the project went for him/her. || =Assessment Task Blue Print=
 * **Performance Task (Summary in G.R.A.S.P.S. form):** **(T)** ||
 * **Goal:** Your task is to create a new educational skate park for the town.
 * Role:** You will be an engineer designing the new park.
 * Audience:** Your clients are the Parks and Recreation Department of the town.
 * Situation:** The challenge deals with linear, quadratic, and exponential equations.
 * Product/Presentation:** You will create a Google Sketchup of the park with all of the equations displayed to show the department.
 * Standards (Criteria from both rubrics - product and presentation):**
 * Other Evidence (quizzes, test, prompts, observations, dialogues, work sample, etc.):**
 * **Other Evidence** **(OE)** ||
 * •**Comic Life:** Students will use a comic book to compare real life equations to the ones used in class.
 * Student Self-Assessment and Reflection**
 * **Self-Assessment** **(SA)** ||
 * •**Pre-Assessment:** Survey/quiz The students will be given a survey at the beginning of the year that asks what type of math they had been exposed to before. It will ask them questions such as, "Do you remember this equation from a science or math class?". It will serve as a way for the students to not feel the pressure of a quiz and for the teacher to get as much information as possible.

//**What understandings/goals will be assessed through this task?**// **(G)** Functions Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential 1 (a-c) ||
 * **Understanding** || **Goal (MLR)** ||
 * •linear equations can be found in the real world.
 * exponential equations can be found in the real world. || •CCSS

What criteria are implied in the standard(s) understanding(s) regardless of the task specifics? What qualities must student work demonstrate to signify that standards were met?
 * **Big Ideas** || **Big Ideas** ||
 * •Functions || •Linear, quadratic, exponential models ||

//**Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?**//
 * **Task Description:** **(T)** ||
 * You are the engineer in a town reinventing itself. The mayor of the town has created a competition to create a new skate park. The park is being created because parents have complained that there is no educational park for the students to play in outside of school. With all of this in mind, the mayor has asked the Parks and Recreation Department to decide on the submissions. The Parks and Recreation Department is not only looking for the skate park to be designed with mathematical equations, but for the park to be presented with Google Sketchup since that is what the construction crew will use to build. Your task is to create a park to educate children on mathematical equations while having the skate park be fun for children to play at. ||
