Idaho Region 2 educators:
Example Project Rubric Prompt
I am teaching an algebra 1 course and working on unit 1 from illustrative mathematics (source: https://im.kendallhunt.com/HS/teachers/1/narrative.html) . Students are doing a project where they are researching median wages in Idaho county for individuals with a high school diploma vs for individuals who do not have a high school diploma. Results of the project should include data presented in a bar chart and a brief explanation of conclusions. Using the math standards this aligns with in illustrative mathematics unit 1, and using a focus on the standards for mathematical practice and best practices from NCTM and NCSM, please create a 3 pt rubric for this project.
Now make a student version of the rubric that a less-literate 9th grader could understand. Keep it short and simple.
Example Project PBI Design Prompt With Local Culture Relevance (see example output)
Help me design a project for 9th grade algebra 1 students that is focused on these two standards: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.B.6 and CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.B.C.7. Other standards that can support the project, but may not necessarily be the focus include CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.B.C.9, CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.B.6.A, and CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.ID.B.6.C. Follow best practice for project design as defined by PBL WORKS, and follow best practice for math lessons as defined by NCTM and NCSM books and articles. The project should include an engaging launch/hook and a 4-point final project rubric that assesses content knowledge (use at least 3 separate categories for content knowledge), project quality, and students' application of some of the 8 standards for mathematical practice. Find some ways to make the project relevant specifically for students living in Boise Idaho. Your output should be specific enough for a teacher to use as a plan without spending much extra time planning.
