The Popcorn Anyone project emphasizes a culturally responsive approach to math modeling instruction. This allows students to apply their diverse mathematical thinking and knowledge to real-life situations. The 7th and 8th-grade students were starting a popcorn microeconomy. They needed to problem-solve and decide how much popcorn would be needed to feed 200 students. This project includes the Mathematizing the World routine and the Know and Need to Know routine to promote critical thinking as students worked together to analyze and solve real-world situations. This led to a Making Task where students had to figure out how much popcorn was needed to feed 200 people

These slides provide the mathematical modeling routines, "If I knew...then I could" and "Mathematizing the World," also know as Notice and Wonder, using sites from all over the state of Wisconsin. This Wisconsin resource was inspired by math modeling information and resources found on the www.eqstemm.org website.
