Party Planner Project:
In my party planning project, I had to make tree diagrams to show the choice’s everyone at the party could end up choosing, the counting principal in how many options there was, and find the total price of everything. This project helped with planning prom because it broke everything down. Prom is planning a party and with this breakdown of the math aspect of the planning, it made it much easier for me and others to understand what goes into the process of planning prom.
MAMDM.N.1 Students will extend the understanding of proportional reasoning, ratios, rates, and percents by applying them to various settings to include business, media, and consumerism.
MAMDM.A.2 Students will use a variety of network models to organize data in quantitative situations, make informed decisions, and solve problems.
a. Solve problems represented by a vertex-edge graph, and find critical paths, Euler paths, and minimal spanning trees.
b. Construct, analyze, and interpret flow charts to develop an algorithm to describe processes such as quality control procedures.
c. Investigate the scheduling of projects using PERT.
d. Consider problems that can be resolved by coloring graphs.
MAMDM.A.3 Students will create and analyze mathematical models to make decisions related to earning, investing, spending, and borrowing money.
a. Use exponential functions to model change in a variety of financial situations.
b. Determine, represent, and analyze mathematical models for income, expenditures, and various types of loans and investments.
MAMDM.A.4 Students will analyze and evaluate the mathematics behind various methods of voting and selection.
a. Evaluate various voting and selection processes to determine an appropriate method for a given situation.
b. Apply various ranking algorithms to determine an appropriate method for a given situation. Geometry Students apply tools to model geometric situations and solve problems. Students extend their knowledge of right triangle trigonometry.
MAMDM.G.1 Students will create and use two- and three-dimensional representations of authentic situations.
MAMDM.D.1 Students will determine probability and expected value to inform everyday decision making.
a. Determine conditional probabilities and probabilities of compound events to make decisions in problem situations.
b. Use probabilities to make and justify decisions about risks in everyday life.
c. Calculate expected value to analyze mathematical fairness, payoff, and risk.
MAMDM.D.2. Students will build the skills and vocabulary necessary to analyze and critique reported statistical information, summaries, and graphical displays.
MAMDM.D.3 Students will apply statistical methods to design, conduct, and analyze statistical studies.
