2061 Benchmarks for Science Literacy , American Association for the Advancement of Science . 33 Mathematical modeling aids in technological design by simulating how a proposed system would theoretically behave. Student attempts to assemble a component. Mathematical scale contains inaccuracies Student finishes a component with no more than 2 mathematical errors.
Student finishes components with no mathematical errors.
Student creates an accurate scale model with no errors and adds detail not required in blueprints such as ID numbers, names, etc. 50 Systems fail because they have faulty or poorly matched parts, are used in ways that exceed what was intended by the design, or were poorly designed to begin with. Individual pieces of component cannot be fit together. Individual pieces of component fit together but component does not fit with final assembly. Individual pieces of component fit together but component does not fit with final assembly.
