State Content Standards and Objectives

M.S.A1.2 Through communication, representation, reasoning and proof, problem solving, and making connections within and beyond the field of mathematics

CM.2.1 develop a variety of problem solving strategies (e.g., draw a diagram, look for a pattern, and work backwards).

CM.2.4        use appropriate formulas to solve workplace problems.

CM.5.2 integrate other disciplines into the study of mathematics through simulations, research, and projects

Math

Standard 1: Knowledge of Mathematical Problem Solving
Candidates know, understand, and apply the process of mathematical problem solving.

Standard 2: Knowledge of Reasoning and Proof - Candidates reason, construct, and evaluate mathematical arguments and develop an appreciation for mathematical rigor and inquiry.

Standard 6: Knowledge of Technology
Candidates embrace technology as an essential tool for teaching and learning mathematics.

Economics

Standard 2:
Effective decision making requires comparing the additional costs of alternatives with the additional benefits. Most choices involve doing a little more or a little less of something: few choices are "all or nothing" decisions.

Standard 3:
Allocation of Goods and Services
Different methods can be used to allocate goods and services. People acting individually or collectively through government, must choose which methods to use to allocate different kinds of goods and services.

Standard 4:
People respond predictably to positive and negative incentives.

Standard 7
Markets - Price and Quantity Determination
Markets exist when buyers and sellers interact. This interaction determines market prices and thereby allocates scarce goods
