Summary of Task
This performance task was chosen because it provides a real life example of how math can be used in an everyday situation. Contractors use this type of math to determine estimated materials on a regular basis. This task requires students to use their knowledge of area and perimeter and apply it to a real problem. They will use graphs and tables similar to those that a contractor would use in an estimate to a client. Students will be required to summarize their methods, procedures and formulas used when coming to their solutions. A description of the problem can be found by clicking Task Description for Students or by clicking the navigation bar to the right.

Students will be assessed on how well they interact in a group setting. Since working in groups is essential to most working environments, students will be informally assessed on their ability to work together. Performance Measures and a Grading Rubric can also be found by clicking on the links or using the navigation bar on the right of your screen.
