Mathematics Program Mission Statement The mission of the Mathematics program at Shore Regional High School is to ensure that students develop an understanding of mathematical concepts and processes leading to individual mastery while logic and problem-solving skills assist students in becoming successful global citizens.
Course Description and “Big Ideas” In this course students will develop spatial sense through experiences that enable them to recognize, visualize, categorize, represent, and transform geometric shapes, and to apply their knowledge of geometric properties, relationships, and models to other areas of mathematics and to the physical world. Students will communicate mathematically using a variety of written, oral, symbolic, and visual forms of expression. Calculators, computers, models and geometric tools will be regularly used to enhance mathematical thinking, understanding, and power. Students will develop an understanding of measurement and systems of measurement to describe and analyze quantifiable phenomena. As with all courses in the mathematics program, this course introduces and/or reinforces the big ideas of number sense, geometry and measurement, patterns and algebra, and mathematical processes.
“Essential Questions”
Throughout this course and in the sequence of courses in this content area, students are consistently guided to consider the following essential questions:
1. Number Sense and Concepts a. When can estimation be used instead of exact measurements?
2. Geometry and Measurement a. How do we use properties of geometric shapes to solve problems in real world situations? b. How can the properties of geometric figures be verified using the coordinate plane? c. How do I apply problem-solving strategies to analyze real world situations involving measurements using different
units? d. How do area, perimeter, and surface area differ? How are they related dimensionally?
5
e. How are properties of geometric figures related to their measurable attributes? f. How do I identify a variety of transformations in the real world and use them to help me understand geometric
properties? g. What is the Pythagorean Theorem and when is it useful? How are right triangles used to measure indirectly?
3. Patterns and Algebra a. How are geometric transformations represented as functional relationships?
4. Math Processes a. How do mathematicians use formal language to compare properties of geometric figures? b. How are similarity and congruence established? Why is this important? c. How do I recognize similarity in the real world and use ratios to create proportions that allow me to solve related
problems? The course also reinforces learning of other Standards and CPI’s already mastered and contributes to the development of mastery of other standards in the areas of [insert names of other secondary content areas].
Primary (P) Content Area and Secondary (S) Areas of Focus
Benchmark Objectives
These objectives focus on the achievement of the Standards/Big Ideas as they pertain to the specific course content and are listed in the units of study found within this document. Summative assessment of these objectives may occur at the point in the course when instruction of the components parts is completed (typically at the end of a unit), at the end of a marking period, end of the year, or in areas tested by the State when the tests are scheduled.
NJCCC Standard NJCCC Standard NJCCCS Standard 1. Visual and Performing Arts 5. Science 9. Career Education and Consumer/ Family/ Life Skills 2. Health and Physical Education 6. Social Studies 3. Language Arts Literacy 7. World Languages 4. Mathematics P 8. Technology Literacy

Scope and Sequence This represents the order in which units or the “big ideas” of the course are taught. The specific unit content, CPI’s addressed, time frame for instruction and how proficiency will be addressed is included in the units that follow. This list serves the teacher as an overview of course implementation and administrators as a basis for review of lesson plans and orientation for classroom observation. The Units included in this course include:
1. Tools of Geometry 2. Perpendicular and Parallel Lines 3. Congruent Triangles 4. Relationships Within Triangles 5. Quadrilaterals 6. Similarity 7. Right Triangles and Trigonometry 8. Transformations 9. Surface Area and Volume 10. Circles

Grading Procedures The final course proficiency grade will be the average of the four marking period grades and the department prepared mid-year and final examinations aligned with NJCCCS/CPI and benchmarks for the content studied in the course.
7
Marking period grades will be based on the average of unit grades and any special cross-unit projects. Unit assessments, delineated for each unit, will include such measures as:
1. Quizzes 2. Chapter tests
Course Evaluation
Course achievement will be evaluated as the percent of all pupils who achieve the minimum level of proficiency (final average grade) in the course. Student achievement levels above minimum proficiency will also be reported. Final grades, and where relevant mid-term and final exams, will be analyzed by staff for the total cohort and for sub-groups of students to determine course areas requiring greater support or modification). Course evaluation requires the pursuit of answers to the following questions:
1. To what extent is the course content, instruction and assessments aligned with the required NJCCS? 2. Are content, instruction and assessments sufficient to demonstrate student mastery of the Standards/CPI’s? 3. Do all students achieve the set proficiencies/benchmarks set for the course, including CPI’s designated to be reinforced,
introduced, and developed?
In this course, the goal is that a minimum of 95% of the pupil’s will meet at least the minimum proficiency level (D or better) set for the course. The department will analyze the achievement of students on Unit Assessments, Mid-term and Final Exams and Final Course Grades, with specific attention to the achievement of sub-groups identified by the state to determine if modifications in the curriculum and instructional methods are needed.
