1. MASTERY LEARNING 2013 - 2014 High School Mathematics Department How it is utilized in Geometry

2. Communications Teacher gives students a list of objectives For example: Geometry Unit 1 Objective 1: Be able to write the vocabulary word that corresponds to a given definition. Objective 2 – : Identify points, lines, planes, segments, and rays, and properly name them. Objective 3 – Identify the intersections of geometric figures. Objective 4 - Apply the segment addition postulate Objective 5 – Correctly use angle vocabulary Objective 6 – Correctly name angles. Objective 7 – Measure angles using a protractor. Objective 8 - Apply the angle addition postulate.

3. Strategies Teach objectives using various techniques Cooperative Learning strategies Jigsaw puzzle for vocabulary Four corners Journal writing on understanding of a concept Selecting students at random Posting ideas on paper at different locations around the room Use of document camera to give notes Worksheets

4. Consistency Common Assessment- students take the first test on the unit material Geometry Unit 1 All the tests are multiple choice with five questions for each objective. Each objective is 7 points total and the study island assignment is the last 7 point objective.

5. Remediation For each objective not mastered, less than 80% correct, students will complete remediation. They will have time in class and extensions to get help Geometry Unit 1 examples: Make a set of flashcards for all of the vocabulary terms. Watch a video on measuring angles with a protractor Complete a study guide on using the segment and angle addition postulates Watch a PowerPoint on identifying the intersections of points, lines, and planes

6. Another Chance Remediation is collected Students take a second test completing only the problems that match the objectives they remediated on. Consistency from test A to test B Each test has the same number of questions Each test has the same directions Each test has the same look and feel Test C – a third chance for the students that have completed all homework and remediation on time

7. Success Enrichment Special topics to enhance learning Opportunities to delve deeper into a concept Geometry Unit 1 Examples: Complete problems that expand the ideas from unit one Practice some challenging problems and take the enrichment test

8. Grading Grading in all of the Geometry classes is broken down into the following sections 70% Tests and study island 20% Enrichment 10% Homework Students and parents can keep track of the mastery for each objective on the home access center (HAC)
