12. THE PERFORMANCE TASKS
I The three seventh grade classes at Healy Middle School collected the most
box tops for a school fundraiser, and won a $600 prize to share. Mr. Malcolm’s
class collected 3,760 box tops, Ms. Wenger’s class collected 2,301, and Ms.
Bishop’s class collected 1,855. How should they divide the money so that each
class gets the same fraction of the prize money as the fraction of the box tops
they collected? All explanations must include mathematical reasoning with clear
relevant evidence.
Select one of the following options:
(a) Write a letter to the principal explaining how
the the money should be divided between the three
classes classes.
• (b) (b) Create a power point presentation showing the
principal principal the correct way to divide the money.
• (c) Present an argument to the class justifying why
they the principal should agree to the way you divided the
money. the money.

At the beginning of the month, you had $154.56 in your school
bookstore account. Your purchases include notebooks and pens that cost
$36, an English book for $69.99, a thesaurus for $16.99, and a planner for
$12.95.
At the register, you decide to get a college hoodie that is $60 on sale for
½ off the original price. Calculate your new balance. Apply the properties
of numbers to determine the ending balance in your bookstore account.
One week later, you receive a letter from the school saying that you did
not have sufficient funds in your account to cover the purchase. Do you
agree with the bookstore?
Select one of the following options:
(a) Write a letter to the bookstore accountant to defend your position
and provide mathematical evidence to support your claim.
(b) Create a spreadsheet in Excel to justify the debits and credits to your
account showing the account balance as a positive or negative balance.
(c) Design an algorithm for finding the solution to the problem and
present it to your classmates.
