2. Math Standards-You’re Teaching Them- Does Anyone Know?

3. Why Did We Take On This Project? Trouble retaining students – Falling behind in math credits at their home schools – Students still need to pass the MCA and BST/GRAD tests

4. What Did We Do How Did We Accomplish It? Went through the state math standards – Erick explained the math standards and Pete gave examples from the world of automotive technology.

6. What Did We Do How Did We Accomplish It? Went through curriculum to identify math standards taught. To Pete’s surprise, very few of the standards are NOT covered…

7.

Standard 4.0: Properly test, diagnose, service, and repair general brake systems. 1.Complete work order to include customer information, vehicle identifying information, customer concern, related service history, cause, and correction. 9412,9431,8248,9422 2.Identify and interpret brake system concern; determine necessary action. 8241,8324,9411 3.Research applicable vehicle and service information, such as brake system operation, vehicle service history, service precautions, and technical service bulletins. 9.4.2.1,9422,9438 4.Locate and interpret vehicle and major component identification numbers (VIN, vehicle certification labels, calibration decals). 8.2.2.1 Standard 5.0: Properly test, diagnose, service, and repair hydraulic systems. 1. Diagnose pressure concerns in the brake system using hydraulic principles (Pascal's Law). 9421,9422,9218,9242,9.2.1.1,9221,9222,8211,9212,8241,9212,9423,9431,9438

8. StrandStandardNo.BenchmarkCurriculum Assessment 9, 10, 11 Geometry & Measureme nt Calculate measurem ents of plane and solid geometric figures; know that physical measurem ents depend on the choice of a unit and that they are approxima tions. 9.3.1.3 Understand that quantities associated with physical measurements must be assigned units; apply such units correctly in expressions, equations and problem solutions that involve measurements; and convert between measurement systems. For example: 60 miles/hour = 60 miles/hour × 5280 feet/mile × 1 hour/3600 seconds = 88 feet/second. 9.3.1.4 Understand and apply the fact that the effect of a scale factor k on length, area and volume is to multiply each by k, k2 and k3, respectively. 9.3.1.5 Make reasonable estimates and judgments about the accuracy of values resulting from calculations involving measurements. For example: Suppose the sides of a rectangle are measured to the nearest tenth of a centimeter at 2.6 cm and 9.8 cm. Because of measurement errors, the width could be as small as 2.55 cm or as large as 2.65 cm, with similar errors for the height. These errors affect calculations. For instance, the actual area of the rectangle could be smaller than 25 cm2 or larger than 26 cm2, even though 2.6 × 9.8 = 25.48.

13. We’ve Identified the Math, Now What? Look to enhance the lessons – Larry’s Truck – Embed math examples into the CTE – Hands on examples

14. 13 Larry’s New Truck

15. 14 What Parts Control the Stopping of the Truck? Master Cylinder Brake Hoses/Lines Wheel Cylinders Brake Calipers

16. 15 Before we apply Pascal’s Law We must first review and be familiar with… Diameter of a Piston Radius of the Piston Area of the top surface of the Piston Mathematically speaking… Diameter: The width of a circular or cylindrical object. Radius: The radius of a circle is half the diameter Area: Any particular extent of space or surface

17. 16 Math – Hands on Practice Measure across the top of the piston, through the center and record the diameter (inches) Calculate the radius of the piston Calculate the area of the top of the piston A = π · r · r or A = πr 2

18. 17 Area Example Diameter = 7 inches Radius = 3 1/2 inches Area = ? A= π·r 2 3.14 · (3 ½ in) 2 = 38.465 in 2 Area = 38.465 in 2

24. Auto Related Worksheets

25. Embedded Math Example Provide groups of 2 to 4 students with a piston and have them do the following. 1.Measure the diameter of a piston 2. Using your measured value of diameter, calculate the radius of the piston. 3. Using the formula for area of a circle, A = πr 2, find the area of the top of the piston. *After these auto examples, we could increase the rigor by adding “traditional math” examples*
