CREATING AN EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION Performance Task in Empowerment Technologies in collaboration with PreCal and GenMath (Deadline of submission October 23, 2023) GOAL The goal of this integrated task is to assess students’ ability to apply technology for empowerment and collaboration with mathematical concepts to solve real – world problems. ROLE Students will take on the role of interdisciplinary problem solvers and presenters. AUDIENCE The audience for their presentation will include their peers, teachers, and potentially experts in technology and mathematics. SITUATION In a local community facing socioeconomic challenges, students will need to identify a specific issue that can benefit from both technology and mathematical solutions. This could be related to financial literacy, resource allocation, or any other relevant problem. PRODUCT/PERFORMANCE Students will collaborate in 6 to 7 members and create a multimedia presentation that includes the following components: A. Problem Identification: Describe the chosen community issue in detail, including its mathematical aspects. B. Research and Analysis: Conduct research on the issue, including mathematical data and trends. Showcase how the mathematics plays a role in understanding and addressing the problem. C. Technology Integration: Propose and explain how technology can be used to address the problem. This could involve creating a mathematical model or using data analysis tools. D. Collaborative Solutions: Highlight how the collaboration between Empowerment Technology and General Mathematics leads to innovative solutions. Explain how the mathematical concepts are applied within the technology solution. E. Potential Impact: Discuss the potential impact of their solution on the community, emphasizing empowerment and positive change. F. Demonstrate or Prototype: If possible, create a basic prototype or demonstrate how the technology and mathematics would work together. STANDARDS Assessment will be based on the following criteria: Category Skills Content Correctness Efficiency Teamwork Exemplary Accomplished Developing 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 All skills from the topic are applied. Most skills in the topic are applied. Some skills in the topic are applied. The output exceeds the expectations. The output is free from errors. The student was able to finish the task in the most effective way without wasting time and effort. The student is an effective team player. The output is complete. The output is somewhat complete. The Output has several errors. The student was able to complete the task but used methods that consumed more time or resource. The student exerted little effort in accomplishing the group’s task. Few or no skills from the topic is applied. The output is incomplete. The output contains minimal errors. The student was able to finish the task in the projected amount of time. The student contributed to the group. Beginning Score 3 2 1 The output contains many errors. The student used the least effective method in finishing task. The student did not contribute to the group. This task encourages students to think critically across disciplines, collaborate effectively, and apply technology and mathematical concepts to real – world issues. It promotes a holistic understanding of how different areas of knowledge can work together for empowerment and problem – solving.
