Standard 1: Students will use mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry, and engineering design, as appropriate, to
pose questions, seek answers, and develop solutions.
Standard 2: Students will access, generate, process, and transfer information using appropriate technologies.
Standard 3: Students will understand mathematics and become mathematically confident by communicating and
reasoning mathematically, by applying mathematics in real-world settings, and by solving problems through
the integrated study of number systems, geometry, algebra, data analysis, probability, and trigonometry.
Standard 4: Students will understand and apply scientific concepts, principles, and theories pertaining to the
physical setting and living environment and recognize the historical development of ideas in science.
Standard 5: Students will apply technological knowledge and skills to design, construct, use, and evaluate
products and systems to satisfy human and environmental needs.
Standard 6: Students will understand the relationships and common themes that connect mathematics, science,
and technology and apply the themes to these and other areas of learning.
Standard 7: Students will apply the knowledge and thinking skills of mathematics, science, and technology to
address real-life problems and make informed decisions.
PARENT ACTIVITY:
Buying on a Budget: Take child to a store with the idea of having $20 budget limit. Tell them they must get a minimum of 3 different items and have a maximum of 5 different items. They should write down each item (describe) and list the price and how many of each they want to buy. Take them for a snack or lunch or home – have them find the total of the purchases, including tax, where appropriate. If they come within $19.75 - $20.00, not over – reward them in a manner that fits your means. (Perhaps one less chore that week, dinner at their favorite fast-food place, extra allowance, ½ hour more TV one school night, etc.)
