Performance Task – GRASPS

Goal – You will use base-ten blocks to represent numbers larger than ten in terms of tens and ones during the Whole Number Maze Fun Game!.

Role – You are a mathematician.  You will accurately use base-ten blocks to help make your way through the maze game. While making your way through the game you will put your base-ten rods on the correct step in the maze game to show how you will correctly find your way out of the maze and back to the math lab. 

Audience – You will show and explain to  Dr. Math, your teacher, using the correct terminology of how you made your way through the Whole Number Maze Fun Game!.

Situation –   You are a mathematician trapped in a maze of whole numbers, and the only way out of the maze is to correctly use the base-ten blocks to find your way back to the math lab where Dr. Math is anxiously waiting.  It’s getting late in the day and you don’t want Dr. Math to worry about her mathematicians, so you must do your best and accurately find your way out of the maze and back to the math lab. 

Product/Performance – You will accurately use the base-ten blocks to help make your way through the maze.  You will also write on your activity sheet the route you used by drawing a picture of the base-ten blocks that you needed in order to make your way through the game and safely back to the math lab.
