Mr. Gerard’s Oil Tank Mr. Gerard bought a house that contained an empty heating oil tank with the dimensions shown in the drawing. The left and right arcs of the tank are perfect semi-circles. If heating oil costs $3.50 per gallon, how much would it cost Mr. Gerard to fill this tank? (There are 231 cubic inches in a gallon.)

Designing Tasks I am sitting on my boat reviewing state math problems and I really need a break! I decide to go paddle boarding. After I am 30 meters from the boat, I turn on my wrist GPS unit to track my progress so I can log it in my exercise journal when I am done. After 3 minutes of steady paddling (no falling in the water, stopping to admire the pretty fish or having a speed boat go by and knock me over with its wake) I am 69 meters from the boat. At this rate, how far will I be from the boat in 15 minutes?

More Concise Wording I decide to go paddle boarding. Joan is paddle boarding. She is 30 meters from the shore. After I am 30 meters from the boat, I decide to turn on my wrist GPS unit. AFTER 3 MORE MINUTES OF STEADY PADDLING,( NO FALLING IN THE WATER OR STOPPING TO ADMIRE THE PRETTY FISHES) I AM JOAN IS A TOTAL OF 69 METERS FROM SHORE
Clarify the Question How far will Joan be from shore after 15 more minutes of paddling?

Pony Rides Ben and Sarah own lots of ponies and often take them to fairs and other gatherings and sell pony rides. They have found that when they charge $6.00 per ride, they average 310 riders a day. Ben has been perfectly satisfied traveling around the countryside and bringing in that daily average revenue of $ Sarah, however, wants to bring in more money. She says that if they charge $12 per ride, their daily revenue will be $ Ben doesn’t agree. He says…

As my colleague Jason Zimba likes to say, you don’t teach standards you teach mathematics. Bill McCallum
Mathematical Practices Hunt Institute Video
Mathematical Practices 1.Making sense of problems and persevering in solving them 2.Reason abstractly and quantitatively 3.Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others 4.Model with mathematics 5.Use appropriate tools strategically 6.Attend to precision 7.Look for and make use of structure 8.Looking for and expressing regularity in repeated reasoning

Construct Viable Arguments Never Say Anything a Kid Can Say! My definition of a good teacher has changed from “one who explains things so well that students understand” to “one who gets the students to explain things so well that they can be understood.”
