7 Elements of a Math-Enhanced CTE Lesson 1. Introduce the CTE lesson. 2. Assess students’ math awareness as it relates to the CTE lesson. 3. Work through the math example embedded in the CTE lesson. 4. Work through related, contextual math-in-CTE examples. 5. Work through traditional math examples. 6. Students demonstrate their understanding. 7. Formal assessment.

Slide 12:

Mary Christensen FACS Teacher at Cedar High in Iron School District “In the CTE books we are taught one way to do the math, but math has taught the concept the traditional way so students can see the connection.” Joy Coates Math Teacher at Cedar High in Iron School District “It has been good to see new ways to apply the math I use and teach on a daily basis.”

Curriculum Mapping:

And I have used math in almost everything I have done.” -Bailee ““My clothing and foods classes have helped me a lot with math and fractions.” - Brickell

Slide 28:

Brian Parr NRCCTE Representative Lee Goodrich Math Teacher at Dixie High in Washington School District Andy Swapp Physics with Technology Teacher at Milford High in Beaver School District “The CTE classes offer a less threatening approach to doing math. It has been beneficial because it brings my lesson plans up by using the embedded math. Since doing this training my students comment, “you and Mr. Swanson (my math counterpart) think alike!” “ Students are given the opportunity to see where in real life the application of math is… doing hands-on labs using math.”

Slide 29:

Kenny Kunde Math Teacher at Snow Canyon High in Washington School District Carol Spor FACS Teacher at Snow Canyon High in Washington School District “It all adds up… Math-in-CTE.” “It validates that in our lives we use math. CTE courses are real life.”
