Students apply their understanding of relationships in right-angle triangles/the diagonals of rectangles to find out if a TV will fit in a home space. This is made to be an assessment (with rubric and solutions) but can be used as an end of unit task too.
To make the task even more authentic, students are given images, phone text messages, and screen captures of web searches from which they need to extract the relevant information.
Mathematics used:
Pythagoraean theorem
Ratio (given TV ratios)
Conversion (between cm and inches)
To align with MYP criterion D, students are given prompting questions to encourage reflection on other factors to consider when making a purchase, assumptions made and the accuracy of their processes and values.
