SCORED ACTIVITY 1 Introduction Scored Activity 1 covers Learning Situations 1 and 2 in the Algebraic and Graphical Modelling in a Fundamental Contet 1 guide. It is divided into two parts. Part 1 Eplicit Evaluation of Subject-Specific Knowledge This section contains a series of unrelated questions. Each question targets one or more specific concepts. Part 2 Evaluation of Competencies You will be presented with situations similar to the ones you encountered in each of the learning situations. You will be asked to complete a series of tasks involving the concepts you have learned, but in a new contet. Most education centres require you to have an average of 60% or more on the scored activities in order to take the final eamination. Instructions Complete the Student Identification section.

SCORED ACTIVITY 1 Part 2 Evaluation of Competencies This second part evaluates the development of your competencies in mathematics. It contains two evaluation situations. Each one is divided into two tasks. The following criteria (cr.) will be used to evaluate the competencies targeted in this section: Competency 1: Uses strategies to solve situation problems Cr. 1.1 Indication of an appropriate understanding of the situation problem Cr. 1.2 Mobilization of the appropriate mathematical knowledge and strategies Cr. 1.3 Development of an appropriate solution Cr. 1.4 Appropriate validation of the steps in the solution Competency 2: Uses mathematical reasoning Cr. 2.1 Formulation of a conjecture appropriate to the situation Cr. 2.2 Correct application of concepts and processes suited to the situation Cr. 2.3 Proper implementation of mathematical reasoning suited to the situation Cr. 2.4 Proper organization of the steps in an approach suited to the situation Cr. 2.5 Correct justification of the steps in an approach suited to the situation Competency 3: Communicates using mathematical language Cr. 3.1 Correct interpretation of a mathematical message Cr. 3.2 Production of a message appropriate to the contet and in keeping with the terminology, rules and conventions of mathematics SOFAD 9
MTH-4171-2 ALGEBRAIC AND GRAPHICAL MODELLING IN A FUNDAMENTAL CONTEXT 1 Scenario 1 Made-to-Order Calculations You work for a Québec company that wants to create a website which lets people buy poster-sized versions of their photos. The width and length of the posters are set at a fied ratio of 3:4. Users must upload their own photo and then enter the desired width of the poster. The area of the poster will be automatically calculated from this width, and the final price, including taes and handling and delivery fees, will be displayed. Your job is to help program this site to correctly display the price of a poster ordered online. The boss tells you that the price of a poster has two components: A fied amount of $13.50 for handling and delivery fees. An amount that depends on the area of the poster, which is $49.50/m 2 (this amount includes taes). 10 SOFAD
SCORED ACTIVITY 1 Task 1 Your boss wants to know how much posters will cost. To do this, you must determine the cost of a poster that is 0.72 m wide with an algebraic model that calculates the cost of a poster based on its width. Answer: Score for each criterion Cr. 1.1 10 8 6 4 2 Cr. 1.2 5 4 3 2 1 Cr. 3.2 5 4 3 2 1 /20 points SOFAD 11
MTH-4171-2 ALGEBRAIC AND GRAPHICAL MODELLING IN A FUNDAMENTAL CONTEXT 1 Task 2 Your boss is wondering if he should eliminate the handling and delivery charges and increase the price per square metre instead. He asks you to do the following: Determine the new price per square metre assuming that the cost of a 90-cm-wide poster remains the same. Make a conjecture about how the cost of the posters would be changed by this new calculation method, and then validate this conjecture. Eplain how this new method of calculating the cost would change the cost of the posters. Score for each criterion Cr. 2.1 10 8 6 4 2 Cr. 2.2 10 8 6 4 2 /20 points SOFAD
SCORED ACTIVITY 1 Scenario 2 Manual Percussion Drilling A group of interns has travelled to a small village in Niger to teach people a low-cost technique for digging wells to provide access to safe drinking water. The assembly is very simple: A heavy cylinder is rigged to a rope and pulley mounted on a tripod, as shown in the figure on the right. To dig the well, the cylinder is raised by pulling on the rope and then released. The heavy cylinder then falls into the borehole, breaking up the rock. Cylinder Pulley Tripod Before leaving on this mission, the team ran several tests with this assembly to determine the number of impacts needed to reach a certain depth. Since the soil s composition is not the same over its entire surface, the depth of the hole may vary for the same number of impacts. NUMBER OF IMPACTS AS A FUNCTION OF DEPTH OF THE HOLE NUMBER OF IMPACTS 17 16 15 14 13 1 14 16 18 110 1 114 DEPTH OF HOLE (mm) SOFAD 13
MTH-4171-2 ALGEBRAIC AND GRAPHICAL MODELLING IN A FUNDAMENTAL CONTEXT 1 Task 3 The team has to dig a hole that is deep enough to install the well. Determine algebraically the depth of this hole after 0 impacts. Justify the steps in your approach with mathematical arguments. Depth of the hole after 0 impacts: Score for each criterion Cr. 1.2 10 8 6 4 2 Cr. 2.5 5 4 3 2 1 Cr. 3.2 5 4 3 2 1 /20 points 14 SOFAD
SCORED ACTIVITY 1 Task 4 The team has determined that the cylinder strikes the ground on average every 30 seconds. Given that the hole has to be 25 metres deep, determine the number of days it will take the villagers to finish digging the well. Number of days needed to reach a depth of 25 metres: Score for each criterion Cr. 1.1 10 8 6 4 2 Cr. 2.2 10 8 6 4 2 /20 points Total for Part 2: /80 SOFAD 15
