Class/Course Description:
The Secondary Mathematics course is designed to build upon the foundational knowledge acquired in earlier years of mathematics education. This course covers three core areas of mathematics: Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics and Probability.
The Algebra section of this course is designed to provide students with the tools and techniques required to solve complex equations and inequalities. Students will learn to manipulate expressions, solve equations, and graph functions. This section of the course will also cover quadratic equations, systems of linear equations, and polynomials.
In the Geometry section of this course, students will explore the properties of two- and three-dimensional figures. They will learn to use geometric formulas to calculate area, volume, and surface area. This section of the course will also cover topics such as congruence, similarity, and trigonometry.
The Statistics and Probability section of this course will provide students with an introduction to basic statistical concepts, such as measures of central tendency and variability. Students will also learn how to calculate probability, use statistical models, and make informed decisions based on data.
Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to think critically and use problem-solving strategies to apply the concepts they learn. The course will also emphasize the importance of mathematical communication and collaboration, both in written and verbal formats.
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of the Secondary Mathematics course, students will be able to:
1. Solve complex algebraic equations and inequalities.
2. Apply mathematical formulas to calculate area, volume, and surface area of two- and three-dimensional figures.
3. Understand the properties of geometric figures and use trigonometry to solve geometric problems.
4. Use statistical concepts and techniques to interpret and analyze data.
5. Evaluate statistical models and make informed decisions based on data.
6. Communicate mathematical concepts effectively in written and verbal formats.
7. Collaborate with peers to solve mathematical problems.
Assessment:
Assessment in this course will be based on a variety of methods, including quizzes, tests, homework assignments, projects, and class participation. These assessments will be designed to measure the student's understanding of the concepts covered in the course and their ability to apply those concepts in real-world situations.
Grading:
Grades in this course will be based on a point system, with each assessment contributing a specific number of points to the student's final grade. The grading scale will be based on a 100-point system, with the following breakdown:
A: 90-100%
B: 80-89%
C: 70-79%
D: 60-69%
F: Below 60%
Course Materials:
Students will need access to a textbook online, a laptop for online discussions and meetings, a scientific calculator, and other materials as necessary. Course materials may also include online resources, such as videos, interactive activities, and practice exercises.
