MATH VIDEOS
The Get Real Math videos showcase common core skills used in the real world. The videos, produced at Fincantieri Marine Group locations, serve as a capstone after a math skill is learned in school. The lesson plans are created by math teachers. The following Get Real Math videos are featured on this page.
What does a sinking ship have to do with math?
What do waves have to do with math?
What does a ship have to do with math?
What does a stable ship have to do with math?
What does being captain of a ship have to do with math?
What does a pipe have to do with math?

WHAT DOES A SINKING SHIP HAVE TO DO WITH MATH?
Lesson Plan
Grades 6, 7 | Common Core Mathematical Content Standards:
6.EE.2 Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.
6.EE.6 Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem, understand that a variable can represent an unknown number, or depending on the purpose at hand, any number in a specified set.
7.EE.4 Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.
Using algebraic methods to solve video question number 4 and use of extension activities would allow the following high school standards to be included:
A.SSE Seeing Structure in Expressions | A.CED Creating Equations | Math Modeling
WHAT DO WAVES HAVE TO DO WITH MATH?
Lesson Plan
Grades 6, 7 | Common Core Mathematical Content Standards:
6.SP.2 Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread and overall shape.
6.SP.3 Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its value with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how it’s values vary with a single number.
6.SP.5 Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context.
7.SP.1 Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inference.
S-ID Summarize, represent and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable.
S-IC Make inferences and justify conclusions from sample surveys, experiments and observational studies.

High School – Math Modeling
G-MG Apply geometric concepts in modeling situations.
WHAT DOES A STABLE SHIP HAVE TO DO WITH MATH?
Lesson Plan
High School | Common Core Mathematical Content Standards:
G.SRT.8 Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in applied problems.
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
