toc =Stage 2: Determine Acceptable Evidence.=


 * Performance Task (Summary in G.R.A.S.P.S. form): **(T)** ||
 * **Goal**: Your task is to first find a winning vegetarian recipe for the competition, and to use vegetables grown in your own garden, using only the space that the network has provided for you.
 * Role**: You are one member of a pair of chefs.
 * Audience**: Your audience is a panel of judges consisting of a mathematician, a local farmer and a world-renowned vegetarian chef.
 * Situation:** The first stage of the competition is to find a winning vegetarian recipe, and to use vegetables grown in your own garden, using only the space that the network has provided for you. You and your partner will present a diagram of your garden to the panel of judges which includes a local farmer, a mathematician, and a world-renowned vegetarian chef. You must convince each of them that you have the best recipe and garden design.
 * Product/Presentation:** You are expected to present a digital model of your garden with all accurately labeled sections in a wiki reflective entry, which will include your winning recipe.
 * Standards** (criteria from both rubrics):
 * //Model//:** Content, Workload, Accuracy, Proof of time-management
 * //Presentation//:** Preparedness, Clear speech, Organization, Peer evaluation, Time-limit ||

• **Test** - There will be one test at the end of the unit on addition, subtraction and multiplication of polynomials. • **Paper** - A one page explanation of how "Vegetarian Gardener" relates to polynomials will be required. ||
 * Other Evidence (quizzes, test, prompts, observations, dialogues, work sample, etc.):**
 * Other Evidence **(OE)** ||
 * • **Quizzes** - There will be two quizzes; one on addition and subtraction of polynomials and one on the multiplication of polynomials.

• **Daily reflective journal entry / exit survey** - Write a few sentences about something you learned, and something about the lesson that is frustrating you and why. Feel free to add any other questions, comments or concerns. • **Rubric/ checklist** - There will be a checklist found at the bottom of the product rubric. || =Assessment Task Blue Print=
 * Student Self-Assessment and Reflection**
 * Self-Assessment **(SA)** ||
 * • **Questionnaire** - A short questionnaire evaluating knowledge about polynomials and their properties will be distributed before the unit and halfway through the unit.

//**What understandings/goals will be assessed through this task?**// **(G)** Symbols and Expressions ||
 * Understanding || Goal (MLR) ||
 * • Students will be able to solve addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems involving polynomials. || • Maine Learning Results: Mathematics - D. Algebra


 * What criteria are implied in the standard(s) understanding(s) regardless of the task specifics? What qualities must student work demonstrate to signify that standards were met?**
 * Big Idea || Big Idea ||
 * • Polynomials || • Expressions / Applications ||

//**Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?**//
 * //**Task Description:**// **(T)** ||
 * Congratulations! You have the chance to be the next Rachel Ray! You and your cooking partner have just been asked to compete as chefs on Food Network’s newest competitive cooking show, Vegetarian Gardener. But first you have to show your math and gardening skills by growing your own ingredients in a limited space. The first stage of the competition is to find a winning vegetarian recipe, and to use vegetables grown in your own garden, using only the space that the network has provided for you. You and your partner will present a diagram of your garden to the panel of judges which includes a local farmer, a mathematician, and a world-renowned vegetarian chef. You must convince each of them that you have the best recipe and garden design. ||
