Students will launch the prom proposal project by gathering real-world planning criteria from an event planner, connecting identity to theme possibilities, and drafting the first measurable constraints and cost questions that will guide later equations, inequalities, and design decisions.

Students will gather real-world planning data, study sample prom solutions, define measurable criteria and constraints, and draft a research-based design brief that connects identity-based theme ideas to equations, inequalities, and feasible budget decisions.

Students will compare multiple prom theme-and-budget concepts, use algebraic models and graphs to test feasibility, gather peer and event planner feedback, and commit to a justified build plan for their proposal.

Students will prototype their identity-based prom proposal, test it against original criteria and constraints, revise mathematical models using feedback and evidence, and prepare a polished pitch with updated vision boards, equations, inequalities, graphs, and ticket pricing.

Students will present a polished prom proposal and identity vision board to an authentic audience, defend their equations, inequalities, graphs, and ticket pricing with evidence, gather final peer and event planner feedback, and complete a brief revision-based reflection on their mathematical decisions and growth.
