Slide 1
The Revised Mathematics Program of StudiesMath 10 Cohort
Resource ReviewGoalsCreate a cohort of Math 10C teachers in CESDGain common understanding of implementation for Sept 2010Develop common understanding around key changes and reasons for changeBring concerns to the forefrontWork with publishers to make informed decisions
Is there a resource that would fit my teaching style & enhance student understanding of Math 10C?
Essential Question:
Todays AgendaWelcome & IntroductionsWhy the Change?Pearson Education PresentationLunchMcGraw Hill Ryerson PresentationReflection & DiscussionWrap Up
Chicken McNuggetsMcDonalds sells Chicken McNuggets in boxes of 6, 9, or 20. Obviously one could purchase exactly 15 McNuggets by buying a box of 6 and a box of 9.
Could you purchase exactly 17 McNuggets?
How would you purchase exactly 53 McNuggets?
What is the largest number for which it is impossible to purchase exactly that number of McNuggets?Chicken McNuggetsCould you purchase exactly 17 McNuggets?Answer: No we could not purchase exactly 17 McNuggets
How would you purchase exactly 53 McNuggets?Answer: Yes, we could purchase one box of 20, 1 box of 9 and 4 boxes of 20 or: one box of 20, 3 boxes of 9 and 1 box of 6What is the largest number for which it is impossible to purchase exactly that number of McNuggets? Answer: The largest number for which it is impossible to purchase exactly that number of McNuggets is 43.Chicken McNuggetsExtensionWhat if the McNuggets were available in boxes of 7, 11 and 17?
What is the largest number for which it is impossible to purchase exactly that number of McNuggets?What did you have to know to answer the question?
Personal Strategies
Why Change?
Revision ProcessAlberta is lead for Mathematics in Western and Northern Canadian ProtocolExtensive consultationsGuiding PrinciplesImprove transition from Grade 9 to Grade 10 Mathematics
Reduce number of topics in the 1012 Mathematics program
Provide greater opportunity for transfer between the course sequences
Develop programs that facilitate transition from high school to post-secondary institutions, apprenticeship programs and the workforce
Feedback from Alberta StakeholdersTransferability between the middle and upper course sequences at the Grade 12 level
Need for the middle sequence to provide access to post-secondary educational opportunities
To meet these needs, the middle sequence required an increased treatment of algebra
Therefore, Alberta withdrew from the WNCP for the middle pathway (Foundations of Mathematics) and developed its own middle course sequence, Mathematics 20-2 and 30-2Alberta Program of StudiesBased on the WNCP Common Curriculum FrameworkApproved Spring 2008Available at www.education.gov.ab.ca
Changes to the K12 Programs of StudyContent more depth less breadthLearning through problem solvingMental mathematics and estimationPersonal strategiesAlgebraic reasoning
Philosophy and PedagogyConceptual understanding
Active learning
Learning through problem solving
Concepts develop from simple to complex and from concrete to pictorial to symbolic
Multiple solutions and multiple solution methods

Representatives were part of committee which developed outcomes for -2 course sequence
Ongoing dialogue with faculties to achieve acceptance
Apprenticeship and Industry Training BoardApprenticeship Entrance Requirements have been developedFinal decision released in one year
Combined Grade 10 CourseThis course is designed to develop students mathematical understandings and critical thinking skills necessary to transition into either the -1 or -2 course sequenceStudents taking the Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-calculus Grade 10 course will- be going on to either the Foundations or Pre-calculus course sequences- be quite diverse in their skill levels- have a wide variety of post-secondary and career aspirations
Consequently, this will be a challenging course for teachers to teach and there will have to be support for teachers in moving from the current pedagogy used in Pure Math 10.Students will have to be brought forward from where they are.
Topics include:Direct and indirect measurementProportional reasoning Algebraic reasoning Number senseRelations and functions
Achievement IndicatorsEvidence a student has fully met the learning outcome
May include suggestions of tasks
One possible set of indicatorsAIs describe what evidence a teacher might look for to determine whether or not the student has fully met the learning outcomeMay also include suggestions as to the types of tasks that would provide evidence of having met the learning outcome Achievement indicators are an integral part of the CCFAchievement Indicators are provided for each outcome. Achievement indicators help teachers to begin planning with the end in mind.Each group of achievement indicators is one example of a representative list of the depth, breadth and expectations of the outcome. This is NOT a checklist. When looking at the resource do NOT look for everything that is in the AIs and then find the resource lacking if something is not included.Resources do not need to address every AI just the intent.Other achievement indicators could be used provided they address the outcome and reflect a similar scopeResources can include different AIs it is not extraneous content. Something is considered extraneous content only if it increases the breadth or depth.Context need to be included in the resource as this is not included in the achievement indicators
A Sample Outcome 10C2. Demonstrate an understanding of relations and functions.[C, R, V]2.1 Explain, using examples, why some relations are not functions but all functions are relations.2.2 Determine if a set of ordered pairs represents a function.2.3 Sort a set of graphs as functions or non-functions.2.4 Generalize and explain rules for determining whether graphs and sets of ordered pairs represent functions.Approved PublishersMath 10 CombinedMcGraw-Hill RyersonPearson Educational Press
