Stage 1 Desired Results

Established Goal (s):

Students that complete this WebQuest will be able to transfer and apply many skills to
different aspects of life other than mathematics. Students will be able to independently
research and use findings to complete calculations. Students will know how to create a
pitch for a business or invention idea. Students will know how to use research findings
to support their pitch. Lastly, students will be able to create a Prezi and a Glogster.
