CREATING AN EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION

Performance Task in Empowerment Technologies in collaboration with PreCal and GenMath

(Deadline of submission October 23, 2023)

GOAL
The goal of this integrated task is to assess students’ ability to apply technology for
empowerment and collaboration with mathematical concepts to solve real – world problems.

ROLE
Students will take on the role of interdisciplinary problem solvers and presenters.

AUDIENCE
The audience for their presentation will include their peers, teachers, and potentially
experts in technology and mathematics.

SITUATION
In a local community facing socioeconomic challenges, students will need to identify a
specific issue that can benefit from both technology and mathematical solutions. This could be
related to financial literacy, resource allocation, or any other relevant problem.

PRODUCT/PERFORMANCE
Students will collaborate in 6 to 7 members and create a multimedia presentation that
includes the following components:

A. Problem Identification: Describe the chosen community issue in detail, including its
mathematical aspects.
B. Research and Analysis: Conduct research on the issue, including mathematical data and
trends. Showcase how the mathematics plays a role in understanding and addressing the
problem.
C. Technology Integration: Propose and explain how technology can be used to address the
problem. This could involve creating a mathematical model or using data analysis tools.
D. Collaborative Solutions: Highlight how the collaboration between Empowerment
Technology and General Mathematics leads to innovative solutions. Explain how the
mathematical concepts are applied within the technology solution.
E. Potential Impact: Discuss the potential impact of their solution on the community,
emphasizing empowerment and positive change.
F. Demonstrate or Prototype: If possible, create a basic prototype or demonstrate how the
technology and mathematics would work together.
STANDARDS
Assessment will be based on the following criteria:
