Four-Part Framework for Needed Math Project Scenarios

This resource, published by Hofstra University, provides a four-part framework for creating mathematical teaching scenarios that reflect the actual work done by technicians. This framework was used to create scenarios for the Needed Math Project, which "aims to serve the national interest by aligning the mathematics taught in technical programs with the needs of advanced manufacturing technicians in the workplace." Included in the resource is a description about the development of the scenarios, their uses in education and curricula planning, an explanation of each part of the framework, and suggestions for in-class supporting materials for the scenarios.

Scenarios developed for the Needed Math Project are available to view separately.
