Sample Math Case Study

One More Minute Between Classes

The student council has asked the principal to add one more minute between classes, to cut down on the number of students tardy for class. The principal has asked your class to study the matter and make a recommendation. Here are guidelines provided by the principal:

    * Bus schedules cannot be changed; because of after school activities and bus schedules.
    * Classes must meet at minimum of 210 minutes a week or 420 minutes every two weeks.
    * Homeroom time is required.
    * A multimedia presentation is expected in two weeks.
    * Be prepared to defend any plan with facts, figures, and charts
