Abstract

This poster shares the result of an Individual Studies at Dordt University conducted with Dr. Valorie Zonnefeld. The goal of the study was to try to answer a frequent student question about mathematics “When am I ever going to use this?”. This poster is the result of this study which created a chart that connected Common Core Standards to a variety of careers. A QR code is included which directs to a website with more information and a downloadable copy of the poster.
