Task Specific

The document discusses using mathematics to solve real-life problems. It provides criteria for evaluating students' abilities to apply concepts like perpendicular bisectors and Voronoi diagrams to find boundaries and assign teachers to resting points on a plane. Higher levels involve greater abilities to use appropriate language, representations, and organization to find solutions and justify applications of mathematics to the given situation.
