Sample Extended Response – Claim #2 TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Making a Water Tank (Grade 11 – students provided graphing calculator as a tool) • A square metal sheet (6 feet x 6 feet) is to be made into an opentopped water tank by cutting squares from the four corners of the sheet, and bending the four remaining rectangular pieces up, to form the sides of the tank. These edges will then be welded together. 23
Sample Extended Response (cont. ) TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction A. How will the final volume of the tank depend upon the size of the squares cut from the corners? Describe your answer by: – i) Sketching a rough graph – ii) explaining the shape of your graph in words – iii) writing an algebraic formula for the volume B. How large should the four corners be cut, so that the resulting volume of the tank is as large as possible? • Item assesses Claim #2: Students can frame and solve a range of complex problems in pure and applied mathematics. 24
Sample Extended Response – Claim #4 TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Planning a Class Trip You and your friends on the Class Activities Committee are charged with deciding where this year's class trip will be. You have a fixed budget for the class and you need to figure out what will be the most fun and affordable option. Your committee members have collected a bunch of brochures from various parks - e. g. , Marine World, Great Adventure, and others (see inbox of materials) which have different admissions costs and are different distances from school. You have also collected information about the costs of meals and buses. Your job is to plan and justify a trip that includes bus fare, admission and possibly rides, as well as lunch, within the fixed budget the class has. 25
Sample Extended Response – Claim #3 TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Sums of Consecutive Numbers Many whole numbers can be expressed as the sum of two or more positive consecutive whole numbers, some of them in more than one way. For example, the number 5 can be written as: 5=2+3 and that‘s the only way it can be written as a sum of consecutive whole numbers. In contrast, the number 15 can be written as the sum of consecutive whole numbers in three different ways: 15 = 7 + 8 15 = 4 + 5 + 6 15 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 Now look at other numbers and find out all you can about writing them as sums of consecutive whole numbers. Write an account of your investigation. If you find any patterns in your results, be sure to point them out, and also try to explain them fully. 26
