This guide links the Game of Life™ unit to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for seventh
graders. Game of Life™ is a mathematics unit that allows students to research career paths of their
interest and develop an education plan, as well as a designing a suitable home based on their research
findings and a projected budget. This unit also has interdisciplinary connections to social studies and
English language arts. For example, students will use geometry to model and describe the physical
world, as addressed in the Mathematics TEKS. Students will also apply critical-thinking skills to organize
and use information acquired through established research methodologies from a variety of valid
sources, including electronic technology, as addressed in the Social Studies TEKS; and students will
analyze, make inferences, and draw conclusions about theme and genre in different cultural, historical,
and contemporary contexts and provide evidence from the text to support their understanding, as
addressed in the English Language Arts and Reading TEKS. The following document includes the
applicable TEKS and the details of the Game of Life™ unit. The asterisks indicate the TEKS that are
testable on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR™). The final section of this
document presents the applicable Texas College and Career Readiness Standards adopted by the Texas
Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) on January 24, 2008.
Description of Unit
In this project, students will begin to explore their career options. As a class, students will explore the
educational paths they will need for the career of their choice in order to gain a realistic idea of the
knowledge and coursework required. Then independently, students will further their college research to
develop a three to five year life plan that includes completion of higher learning, a family, career,
community involvement, and a residence of choice.

help students see the
connections between career
paths/pursuits and lifestyle,
job satisfaction, and
personal/professional
fulfillment of goals.
Engage

readiness. Conduct a whole class discussion on colleges, technical
schools, and career choices. You can use the following discussion
questions with students:

How many of you have thought about the career you
would like to pursue?


What types of careers interest you?


How long will your training take?


What will your salary be like?
Do you know what type of training is required for the
career of your choice?
What are the advantages or disadvantages of the

What kind of lifestyle would you be able to afford
with the salary you would make?
Explore
Organize students into small groups with similar career paths. Groups
will determine the best institutions for their career. Next, they will
determine the advantages and disadvantages of each institution.
Students will calculate the cost of their chosen institution in addition
to living arrangements and food. Students will develop a plan of
study, so that they graduate in a timely manner.
Students may use any of these internet resources:
 www.careertech.org/career-clusters/glance/at-a-glance.html
 www.onetonline.org/find/career
 www.texascollegeandcareer.org
 http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/tools/college/college1.asp
Explain
Within their small groups, students will create a chart for their career;
the chart will list their institutions, the advantages and disadvantages,
certificates/degrees offered, and cost to complete the institution.
They will present their findings to the class. Questions that might
guide their presentations include the following:
 What are your top choices as far as career pursuits?
 In which institutions might your career best be situated?
 What are the advantages and disadvantages of the
institution?
 What are the advantages and disadvantages you see related
to your plan for study?
 What types of professional certifications or degrees will you
need in order to pursue this career?
 What are the costs?
 What might be some of your plans for managing these costs
and fulfilling your plan of study?
Elaborate (Phase II)
Research process
1. Selecting a topic. Student will then continue to research
their individual career choice. Students will develop a
three to five year plan for their lifestyle options and Life
Card.

2. Asking guiding questions. Once students have selected
their career choice and Life Card, each student is
encouraged to think of three to five guiding questions,
such as:
a. Which employer is the most prestigious or highest
ranking in the field of your choice?
b. What are the entry-level skills required for that
career?
c. What is furthest level that you can go within your
career?
d. What type of lifestyle will you be able to have with
this salary range?
e. What kind of home will you be able to afford with
your salary?
3. Creating a research proposal. The student should include
these components in their research proposal:
a. The career he or she will study
b. Three to five guiding questions he or she will
investigate
c. The primary and secondary sources used to conduct
research
4. Conducting research. After the teacher has approved the
student proposals, each student will begin using the
resources he or she has identified and others he or she
may encounter. During this stage, the student will
develop an entry-level resume, maintain a budget,
develop a career goal plan to include key employers, and
submit a sketch of their home.
Explain
The product
The student will build a portfolio that includes his or her
resume, career goal plan, personal budget, My Life at a
Glance, and a sketch of their home. The student will create a
five-minute presentation marketing himself/herself for the
next position or level at the company pertaining to their
career.
Communication
In a five-minute presentation, students will present their selfmarketing presentation and portfolio. Audience members will
ask unscripted questions for the student to answer.

Evaluate
Use the TPSP Middle School Rubric to assess each student’s learning.
Additionally, you may wish to develop self- or peer-assessments
based on the rubric that students could use to evaluate their
products.
A completed project consists of:
1. The research proposal, including guiding questions
2. Research notes and/or resource process sheets
3. The product, including references or works cited
In what ways did the student:
 Develop sophisticated, open-ended questions about the selfselected topic;
 Use a variety of sources that access advanced content and
include multiple perspectives;
 Collect data using the tools of the discipline;
 Analyze and interpret the data;
 Capture and apply their analysis through an original product;
and
 Communicate his/her research findings, learning, and ideas to
an audience using the language of the discipline.
Extend
The following activities are interdisciplinary extensions to this task.
Science
How might students extend their “My Life at a Glace” profile to
include activities that foster lifelong physical/mental health and
wellness? What strategies will they incorporate into their action plans
to remain in balance while pursuing their professional goals? Ask
students to research key areas of wellness such as nutrition, exercise,
sleep, and mental/emotional health. How might the demands of the
student’s chosen profession impact these critical areas? When
students survey the research literature, what current statistics might
they uncover related to the relative “health” of people in the
profession? What health concerns might appear on the path to
obtaining a degree or certification that enables the student to
practice in this profession? How will students proactively manage
their health in light of the institution’s demands? Create a Health
Card to include with your portfolio. The Health Card should include
key strategies you will take to stay healthy and a long-term plan for
self-managing your wellness.

Social Studies
Where does your career or position sit in relation to society and the
history of the profession as a whole? Who are a few of the
experts/mentors that came before you (e.g., these might be people
from the local area, the region, nation, or even international figures)?
When did they live and what were their contributions? What do you
admire most about these individuals? Who are the current leaders in
this profession and what are their research goals? Pick at least 3 of
these individuals (past or present) and develop a short 1-2 paragraph
biography for each. Create a timeline depicting these key figures in
your profession and their accomplishments. Situate yourself along
that timeline and imagine what you might contribute. What are some
of the steps you will need to take to actualize your dream? Who are
people you might need to support you? Add the biographies and
timeline to your portfolio and adapt your 3-5 year plan to include
your strategy for getting to know the key people/or types of people
you think you will need for support as you engage in the pursuit of
your career.
English language arts
Write the biography of your life from the perspective of yourself as an
elderly, retired person looking back on your career, your personal life,
your accomplishments, and your connections to the community.
What sort of legacy will you leave? How would you like for other
people to remember you? What were your greatest achievements?
Who helped you along the way? How did you overcome the obstacles

Grade Your Home
Step 1
Plan your living space. A single story home is one level. A two-story home will cost less
because the two-story home will have a smaller roof and foundation. Sketch ideas for rooms
under the roof include the footage for the garage area or patios for this project.
Step 2
Determine the finishing class and construction quality for your new home. The highest-quality
or executive grade, construction uses exterior masonry, shake, tile or architectural-grade
shingles, reinforced concrete foundation with a basement or crawl space, and irregular walls
and decorative openings. The above-average grade class has a concrete or block foundation,
some wall-height changes and architectural asphalt shingle roofing. Average grade construction
features basic asphalt roof shingles, concrete slab and square interior and exterior walls.
Step 3
Use the same grade for your bathroom finishing and construction materials as Step 2.
Executive grade construction has a minimum of four plumbing fixtures in each bath, electricity
for eight or more built-in appliances and wiring for more than 80 light fixtures in the home.
Above-average grade construction features three plumbing fixtures per bath, six built-in
appliances and recessed lighting. Average grade building quality allows for three basic plumbing
fixtures, three built-in appliances and 10 or fewer standard light fixtures.
Step 4
Use the same quality for your windows and doors as Step 2. The executive grade construction
has large multi-pane glass windows, skylights or decorative windows and four or more exterior
doors. Above-average grade construction features a decorative front door, quality exterior
doors and at least one large window with multi-pane glass. Average grade construction has
hardboard doors and vinyl windows.
Step 5
Use the same grade for basic features of the home as Step 2. Homes with specialized heating
and cooling features, such as solar or geothermal systems, and masonry fireplaces qualify as
executive grade construction. Above-average grade construction has one prefabricated fireplace
and a high-efficiency heating and cooling system. Average grade includes only a basic heating
system.
Step 6
Use the same grade for your kitchen as Step 2. The executive grade construction uses custom
cabinets, high-end appliances featuring built-in ovens, and finishes using granite or tiles. Aboveaverage grade construction has high-grade commercial cabinets, quality laminate counters and
a freestanding stove. Average grade kitchens have contractor-grade cabinets and lower-quality
laminate, with the homeowner buying the appliances.
