Learning Goals
Students will be able to define prom planning constraints and create inequalities that model budget, ticket, and vendor limits for a realistic prom proposal.
Students will be able to represent prom expenses with equations in one and two variables and solve for unknown costs using vendor quote data.
Students will be able to graph systems of inequalities that show viable and nonviable prom options based on budget and event requirements.
Students will be able to solve and justify systems of linear equations to determine ticket prices and break-even points for the prom proposal.
Students will be able to analyze and compare multiple prom theme and budget solutions using a decision matrix and evidence from peer and event planner feedback.
Students will be able to communicate a mathematically justified prom proposal that connects identity-based theme choices to costs, constraints, and ticket pricing.
Products
Identity Vision Board and Math Justification Notebook
Each student creates a vision board that links personal identity traits to a prom theme, then explains the mathematics behind at least one cost model and one constraint model. The notebook includes original solution work, sketches, a decision matrix, and a short reflection on how feedback changed the design.
Prom Proposal Budget, Ticket Pricing, and Feasible Design Presentation
Teams produce and present a revised prom proposal with itemized expenses, equations and inequalities, systems graphs, and a justified ticket price. The final product must show at least one revision based on data or critique and explain why the selected plan is the most viable option.
