7. What is Math Studies? We will be: Studying topics from algebra – linear, quadratic, and exponential models Geometry – right triangle ratios, surface area and volume of three-dimensional solids, finding angle measures

8. What is Math Studies? We will also be studying: statistics – graphical representations of one variable and two variable statistics, measures of central tendency, correlation, the normal distribution Probability An introduction to differential calculus Logic

9. What is IB Math Studies? The course will be based upon the IB Diploma Program Mathematics Studies Standard Level textbook There is a formal IB Exam in May – required to sit through (80% of IB grade) + an internal assessment (20% of IB grade)

10. That said… My hope is that you will find this class to be an opportunity to ask questions and explore very relevant and exciting mathematics in a safe environment.

11. Yet… Leave feeling confident enough to take mathematic or science courses at the university level...

12. Goal: Build the Tallest Freestanding Structure You will be working in your group The entire marshmallow must be on top Use as much or as little of the kit – string, tape, and 20 spaghetti sticks Break up the spaghetti, string or tape – create new structures The challenge will last 18 minutes…

13. See you on Thursday!!!

15. My goal - All of your time spent in this classroom will be dedicated to math Time outside of class studying math will be kept minimal

16. The most important expectation according to Mrs. Smith RESPECT!!!!  Respect for yourself and your ideas  Respect for each other and each other’s ideas  Respect for the teacher or guest teacher  Respect for students  Respect for the content  Respect for the environment around us

17. Grading Categories Classwork + Checkpoint quizzes (20% semester 1; 10 % semester 2) – Checkpoint Quiz (5 points), Group problems and investigations + problem presentations (5 points) Tests/Quizzes (70%) Internal Assessment (10% semester 1; 20% semester 2)

18. Homework Suggested homework problems from the textbook will be assigned with each lesson Written out solutions to these problems are located on IB Math SL website Most homework will be tied to the IA

19. Class Work Problems assigned as class work are designed to either 1) promote higher level thinking and connections between topics, 2) serve as application problems, 3) provide review, 4) provide practice for your internal assessment.

20. Class Work Class work is scored based on completion and presentations of your group’s worked out solutions Class work can vary each day and is dependent on that day’s lesson Worth up to 5 points If a student is absent for the class work, the grade will be coded as ABS

21. Checkpoint Quiz Given after presentations of the worked out class work All students will be expected to complete the checkpoint quiz but only one paper in each group will be scored. If a student is absent for the checkpoint quiz, the grade will be coded as ABS

22. Tests/Quizzes Quizzes (20-40 points) Tests (60-100 points) – One at end of each unit. No retakes. No notecards. You will use the IB Math Studies list of approved formulas.

23. Tests/Quizzes Plan on making-up quizzes within one week and before the test You can expect to make-up quizzes the next class period Plan on making-up tests within two weeks of the scheduled test.
