Common Core Connections

ELA/Literacy

  • WHST.11-12.7 - Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation. 

  • WHST.11-12.8 - Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the strengths and limitations of each source in terms of the specific task, purpose, and audience; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and over reliance on any one source and following a standard format for citation.

  • WHST.11-12.9 - Draw evidence from informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.

Mathematics

  • HSN-Q.A.1 - Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays. 

  • HSN-Q.A.2 - Define appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling. 

  • HSN-Q.A.3 - Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities.
