Week of 8/8/2016

 College Readiness Math


The College Readiness Mathematics course focuses on fifty-two key readiness standards
as well as ten Process Readiness Indicators needed for students to be ready to undertake postsecondary academic or career preparation in non-STEM fields or majors. The course addresses standards throughout high school and even earlier, including Algebra I, statistics and geometry, and the Algebra II standards agreed to as essential college- and career-readiness standards for most students.  The full range of content standards found in Algebra II is not addressed because some are not seen as essential college- and career-readiness standards for non-STEM math courses. The math course consists of seven mandatory modules: algebraic expressions, equations, measurement and proportional reasoning, linear functions, linear
systems of equations, quadratic functions, exponential functions and summarizing and interpreting statistical data (optional).  While this course covers the basics in math practices and reviews the procedural steps
needed to be successful in math, it is designed to teach in a new, engaging way based

heavily on conceptual teaching and learning. Each unit includes a “hook” at the beginning to engage students and pre-assess prior math experiences and understandings.  

Geometry

This week we will continue to work on the following:
  • Transformations
  • Translations
  •  Reflections
  •  Rotations
