2. Leaky Faucets Performance Task (PT)
7.RP.A.1
Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction 1/2/1/4 miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.7.RP.A.2.A
Decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship, e.g., by testing for equivalent ratios in a table or graphing on a coordinate plane and observing whether the graph is a straight line through the origin.
7.RP.A.2.B
Identify the constant of proportionality (unit rate) in tables, graphs, equations, diagrams, and verbal descriptions of proportional relationships.
7.RP.A.2.C
Represent proportional relationships by equations. For example, if total cost t is proportional to the number n of items purchased at a constant price p, the relationship between the total cost and the number of items can be expressed as t = pn.
7.RP.A.2.D
Explain what a point (x, y) on the graph of a proportional relationship means in terms of the situation, with special attention to the points (0, 0) and (1, r) where r is the unit rate.
1. Rewrite the standard in your own words. How does this assignment relate to the standard?
The standard is 7.RP.A.1 Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction 1/2/1/4 miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour. This assignment relates to the standard because I had to find different ratios of lengths and areas having to do with a leaky faucet. This assignment included a lot of different math techniques like ratios and constant of proportionality.
2. What are the steps you took to complete and do well on this assignment?
The steps I took to complete and do well on this assignment was I gathhred all the necessary materials like markers, color pencils, crayons, a poster board, glue stick and scissor. Then, obviously, I did the worksheet and checked it over to make sure there were no errors. After that, I did the decor on the board like the faucet, and the title. After that, I transfered the math with colorful markers and pens on the poster board!
3. This assignment demonstrates the following strengths…
This assignment demonstrates that I understand the math that is given clearly. It also shows my creative abilities because I did it by hand. Also, it shows that I put a lot of time and effort into it because of the score. Doing the math correctly shows that I understand the topic and that I understand what is being taught in the classroom.
4. I could have improved my work on this assignment by …
I probably could have improved on this assignment by typing it out. If I did, then it would look more clean. I also could have printed out the pictures as well. I think I coul have added more decorations around the board in order for it to look more beautiful. This is how I could have improved.
5. How will you apply the skills you learned from this assignment in either the real world when you are an adult or in other classes while you are still a student?
I will apply the skills I learned to later life because it will help me get a better job for a better future for my family. It will also help me in my later school years because I'll apply it to learn more things later on. It will also improve my knowledge and creatives skills. Later, this will be useful to teach my kids about math and creativity to inspire them!
