Career Clusters 2017-01-19T19:50:18-05:00

There are 16 career clusters leading to various career pathways. Instructors can incorporate these clusters into curriculum design and instruction. Adult education services will include workforce preparation activities and training for specific occupations; this will allow students to achieve their educational and career goals. For a listing and description of these career clusters, please click on the link below.

Lesson Objectives

At the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

     1)  Count breaths over various lengths of time and calculate respiration rate.

     2)  Interpret and create a breathing graph (in x,y coordinate plane) for respiratory

          conditions.

Student Target

"I can calculate and graphically model respiratory rate, as well as compute and graphically represent/interpret ratios and proportions.”

CCR Focus Standards
Number and Ratios - Level D
  • Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction (1/2)/(1/4) miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.

Supporting Standards
  • Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers. 

  • Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, "The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak." "For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes."

Standards for Mathematical Practice
  • Attend to precision. (MP.6)

  • Model with mathematics. (MP.4)

KYAE Employability Standards
  • E.1 Effectively contribute to a team through cooperation, leadership, and giving and accepting critical feedback to work toward a common goal.

  • E.7 Accurately analyze information and respond appropriately.
