MVHS Mathematics Current Projects Performance-Based Pay plan (PBP) Focusing on: Strand 3 Concept 3 Represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic representations Common Core Practices 1, 3, and 6 1. Make Sense of problems and persevere in solving them 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 6. Attend to precision. All teachers have been assigned tasks to complete to ensure full participation with the plan. A pretest has already been given. Algebra 1A/1C Pre-test average – 51.89% Geometry 1A Pre-test average – 54.75% Classes are working on 2nd formative test. 3rd formative test and Post-test to be given 2nd semester. Current Projects Special Education Classes We currently have 3 math teachers and 3 SPED teachers co-teaching sections of TAG Algebra 1A/B, TAG Geometry 1A/B and TAG Algebra 1C/D Pre-Algebra and Core Math are being taught in the J/K wing New this year - 1 section of Co-taught Algebra 1A/B and 2 sections of Current Projects Re-Teaching Several teachers are experimenting with the re-teach process. Teachers have been switching students for re-teach/enrichment. Some teachers are restructuring their II time to maximize the time for re-teach. Current Projects Geometry 1A/B Pilot – 3 teachers collaborated and restructured the Geometry curriculum. Same concepts are being taught in all Geometry classes, these 3 teachers are simply using a different approach. The data is promising – these pilot students outscored their peers on the common midterm on multiple concepts. Current Projects II AIMS Tutoring August-October – Seniors who had not passed the Math AIMS were scheduled into Grebloski’s II for AIMS tutoring. November-April – Sophomores who failed the 8th grade Math AIMS, failed 9th grade math and currently failing 10th grade math are scheduled into Grebloski’s II for AIMS tutoring. Bringing on the Consistency! The following courses were given common course syllabi at the beginning of the 11-12 school year: Algebra 1A/B, Geometry A/B, Algebra 1C/D, Algebra 2A/B, Financial Literacy and College Ready Math Teachers collaborated at the end of 10-11 More Consistency! Common midterms and final exams have been created for the following: Algebra 1A/B, TAG Algebra 1/B, Geometry 1A/B, Algebra 1C/D, Algebra 2A/B, Financial Literacy and College Ready Math Keep it coming…. Each math course has a course leader. They bring their teachers together to discuss curriculum, pacing, assignments, grading and assessments. The consistency in the courses has led to a decrease of “teacher shopping.” Math-in-CTE Mathematics in Automotive Tina Grebloski (Math) and Dave Damiani (Auto) 0 hour Auto Block class receives the 4th math credit Auto teacher presents original lesson Math teacher assesses and re-teaches if necessary. MVHS Math Department New 4th year Courses Probability and Statistics This course will encompass descriptive and inferential statistics: organization of data; measures of central tendency, dispersion, and association; linear regression and correlation. The concept of probability and its properties include random variables: expected value, variance, independence, standard discrete and continuous distributions, and normal approximation. The study of sampling and statistical inference include: estimating population parameters, interval estimation, and hypothesis testing. This class is designed to cover the state standards and meet the 4th year math requirement. A graphing calculator is highly recommended. Financial Literacy This course is designed to help students with decision-making skills they will apply and use to become wise and knowledgeable: consumers, savers, investors, users of credit, money managers, citizens, and members of a global workforce and society. Students will be exposed to: budgets, insurance plans, retirement plans, savings and investing plans, various forms of income, income withholdings, use of credit, finance charges, interest, late fees, calculations of loan repayments, stocks, bonds, real estate and pyramid schemes. This class is designed to cover the state standards and meet the 4th year math requirement. A scientific calculator is recommended.
