This set of tasks draws on community and business activities and contexts relevant to students\u2019 daily lives. Students\u2019 experiences with community activities (e.g., selling girl scout cookies) and businesses (e.g., ordering and eating at local restaurants) could be leveraged for learning with these tasks. The tasks engage students in mathematical modeling (Mathematical Practice 4) through activities including:<\/p>\n
Specific mathematical content and other mathematical practices connected to tasks are described within the lesson overview of each task.<\/p>\n
