Students distinguish between vertical asymptotes and holes by analyzing algebraic factors and limits. They learn that zeros in the denominator that do not cancel are walls, while those that do cancel are mere gaps.
A high-intensity, 120-minute math simulation. Students act as lead consultants, completing a high-speed skill warmup before selecting a professional sector (Music, Urban Planning, Rocket Science, or Sports Analytics) to solve a series of complex work orders.
Scaffolded practice activities ('Skill Missions') that review key concepts: linear equations, systems, sequences, lines of best fit, and factoring. These activities ensure students have the foundational skills needed for their final project.
A comprehensive, high-density single-page reference guide that displays all core mathematical models (Systems, Binomial Box Method, Trinomial Factoring, Sequences, Quadratics, and Scatter plots) to support consultants during the Career Summit.
A curriculum sequence combining math, art, and drafting to explore geometric scale, spatial relationships, and coordinate systems in design.
A high-intensity, 2-hour math simulation where students act as lead consultants. They complete a scaffolded Skill Warmup before choosing one of four career paths (Music, Urban, Rocket, or Sports) to solve real-world "Work Orders" and delivering an Executive Pitch.
A comprehensive 6-page career simulation readiness packet covering systems of equations, polynomial multiplication (Box Method), factoring trinomials, arithmetic/geometric sequence telemetry, rocket trajectory vertices, and scatter plots. Scaffolded with clean workspaces, high-contrast visual grids, and certification sign-offs to prepare student consultants for the Career Summit.
A multi-day, highly engaging math sequence that teaches students the financial mechanics of a venture capital pitch. Students learn to calculate unit profit, retail markups, margin percentages, company valuation, and equity offers to prepare their own Shark Tank-style pitches.
