6. 21ST
CENTURY LEARNING
Students will develop higher-order and 21st
Century
Skills in this unit as they:
 Use the Essential and Unit Questions to guide
their analysis of algebraic fractions to find
strategies to use in simplifying and solving
problems..
 Communicate their ideas to a community
audience through a publication and a video.
 Reflect on their reading, writing, research and
thinking strategies, and modify and adapt them
as necessary to fit the real-world scenarios.
 Use project assessments to self-assess their work.
