1 Secondary Disclosure Document/ Syllabus IB Mathematics SL IB Diploma Program Aaron Hall D / ext. 210 COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is intended for individuals interested in pursuing future studies in chemistry, economics, psychology, and business administration; compared to IB math studies for students interested in social sciences, humanities, language, or arts. IB Math SL is an upper level IB course that surveys a wide range of topics. In addition to showing understanding of the chapters listed below, students will complete an IB Internal Assessment Project. The Project is an application of the mathematics studied in the course. Students will take the IB External Assessment battery of tests at the end of year to accumulate points for the IB Diploma. Problem-solving is central to learning mathematics and involves the acquisition of mathematical skills and concepts in a wide range of situations, including non-routine, open-ended and real-world problems. For optimal success in this math course, students should demonstrate the following. 1. Knowledge and understanding: recall, select and use their knowledge of mathematical facts, concepts and techniques in a variety of familiar and unfamiliar contexts. 2. Problem-solving: recall, select and use their knowledge of mathematical skills, results and models in both real and abstract contexts to solve problems. 3. Communication and interpretation: transform common realistic contexts into mathematics; comment on the context; sketch or draw mathematical diagrams, graphs or constructions both on paper and using technology; record methods, solutions and conclusions using standardized notation. 4. Technology: use technology, accurately, appropriately and efficiently both to explore new ideas and to solve problems. 5. Reasoning: construct mathematical arguments through use of precise statements, logical deduction and inference, and by the manipulation of mathematical expressions. 6. Inquiry approaches: investigate unfamiliar situations, both abstract and real-world, involving organizing and analyzing information, making conjectures, drawing conclusions and testing their validity. Please peruse the following YouTube video on why math is important. COURSE OBJECTIVE Students will demonstrate understanding and fluency of the following concepts. 1. Quadratics, 13. Vector Applications, 2. Functions, 14. Introduction to Differential Calculus, 3. Exponentials, 15. Rules of Differentiation, 4. Logarithms, 16. Properties of Curves, 5. Transforming functions, 17.

You can also pick up a physical book from Colby in the book room.

2 FORMAT AND PROCEDURES Student learning will take place through interactive lectures, discussions, group work, and individual work. Grades will be assessed though journals, participation, daily quizzes, midterm test, and final. COURSE REQUIREMENTS To promote a school environment that is supportive for all student development, individuals will be expected to demonstrate the five core values as outlined in the Community of Caring Curriculum, adopted by the Salt Lake City School District; Caring, Respect, Responsibility, Trust, and Family. These values are important elements in facilitating a positive and safe atmosphere for students to learn and grow. Caring: Life is not just about ourselves. We need to help protect and nurture each other. Letting another student copy your work is not caring since it robs the other student of their mathematical development. Instead, show concern by giving the student the necessary instruction to grasp a particular concept. Respect: It s the Golden Rule. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Responsibility: All students will be expected to come to class with a notebook (a notebook exclusively for math, and preferably quad ruled for easy graphing), calculator (preferably one that can graph functions, but should at least be a scientific calculator with trig functions The SLC school District recommends TI nspire CAS and it will be that calculator that I will be using for demonstration purposes), a pencil (Colored pencils would be preferable), and the previous day s assignment finished with prepared questions concerning their understanding. Trust: Students should build trust with their peers and teachers by having integrity in everything they do, including doing the assignments for understanding; not copying another student s work. Cheating or plagiarism will not be tolerated. This will be dealt with as outlined in the Highland High School handbook. Family: You are part of the RAM family. It s the Highland way. It is a violation of Utah State law to engage in disruptive student behavior (53A ). Therefore, all students will be expected to act in an appropriate manner. GRADING PROCEDURES Given that this is an IB class, there will be two different grades assigned to each student. One is the Highland grade that will calculate into the student s GPA and assigned every term, and the other is an IB grade for your diploma, a single grade given out at the end of the school year. Highland Grade A Final grade for each term will be calculated by category weight, as follows. 1. Journals 20% 2. Participation 10% 3. Daily Quizzes 30% 4. Midterm Test 20% 5. Final Test 20% IB Grade 1. External Assessment (May 12 th ) 80% 2. Internal Assessment (February 13 th ) 20% Journals will be handed in twice per term, the week prior to midterm s week and final s week. Each entry should be titled by its journal entry name, followed by a summary of the reading, a personal reflection, and answers to any questions that the book included. The length of each entry should be long enough to adequately display the outlined requirements in an articulate, convincing, and concise manner. Journals should have a cover page with student s name, course name, date, an indication of midterm or final followed by the term number, and teachers name neatly stapled or bound in a binder. All work must be neat and legible, either typed or handwritten. See attachments for journal topics. Project Dates Topics included Journal: Midterm, Term 1 09/11/14 3ABC 4GH Journal: Final, Term 1 (& Identify topic, see below) 10/24/14 5ABC 10AB1 - See description below 11/25/14 - See description below - See description below 01/09/15 - See description below - See description below 02/13/15 - See description below Journal: Final, Term 3 03/20/15 19ABC1 21AB Journal: Midterm, Term 4 04/24/15 21CDE 24CD Journal: Final, Term 4 05/18/15 10-minute presentation of Exploration

3 Internal Assessment An individual piece of work (an exploration) completed during the course involving the collection and/or generation of data, and the analysis and evaluation of that data is a requirement for the IB Math SL course. This will be graded by the teacher and by the International Baccalaureate (IB). Projects may take the form of mathematical modeling, investigations, applications, statistical surveys, etc. Ideas for this project can be found on the following website. Specific guidelines for the project can be found at the following website, though these guidelines can also be found at the bottom of the electronic copy of this disclosure document. An extract of a student report used to demonstrate the components of the report can be found on page 14 of your textbook and at the bottom of the electronic copy of this disclosure document. For tips on how to write a mathematical paper, go to FAILURE TO DO AN AUTHENITC MATH PROJECT WILL RESULT IN A FORFEITURE OF THE IB DIPLOMA. Project Dates How is it recorded Paragraph summary of topic w/journal 10/24/14 w/journal Topic and detailed plan 11/25/14 2 nd term, midterm journal Rough Draft (80% complete) 1/09/15 2 nd term, final journal Final Draft 2/13/15 3 rd term, midterm journal Your journal grade for term 2, midterm and final, and midterm for term 3 will be based on this project for those three recording periods, you do not need to complete a journal as well. That being said, a better understanding of the concepts can be gained through completing the investigations and problems regardless. Your final journal grade will be based upon a 10-minutes classroom presentation of your internal assessment, via poster board, document camera, Power Point, etc,.. Participation will be based upon student attendance (no excessive or unexcused absences) and appropriate involvement in the lesson. Daily Quizzes will measure a student s understanding of the previous day s concepts. Homework will be assigned, but not collected Assignments should be used to prepare for daily quizzes and midterm & final exams. If you are tempted not to do the homework, this will be reflected in your quiz scores. Lowest quiz will be dropped from grade. Make up work Journals: A late journal will lose half its points before being graded. For the internal assessment, a late final draft may result in no points for the IB grade. Participation: Students with excused absences will be exempted from participation for the days they missed, otherwise the student will lose points for that day. Quizzes: If a student has an excused absence, he/she can take a makeup test after school on the last week of the term. This test will not necessarily cover the topics of the missed quiz, but can be on any of the topics covered during the term, so be prepared for everything. If a student will need to make up more than one quiz, this must be prearranged prior to the absence, otherwise one zero score will count as the student s lowest score and be dropped. The make up quiz cannot be used to replace a low grade quiz score. Midterm and final: Any make up test must be prearranged prior to the absence. The grade scale is as follows: A C A C B D B D B D C F QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS Please contact me at work at , ext. 210 or by , aaron.hall@slcschools.org You may obtain an electronic copy of this disclosure document at the following website

22 Frequently Asked Questions for Interval Assessment for IB Math SL What is the difference between a mathematical exploration and an extended essay in mathematics? The criteria are completely different. It is intended that the exploration is to be a much less extensive piece of work than a mathematics extended essay. The intention is for students to explore an idea rather than have to do the formal research demanded in an extended essay. How long should it be? It is difficult to be prescriptive about mathematical writing. However, the Mathematics SL guide and the Mathematics HL guide state that 6 12 pages should be appropriate. A common failing of mathematical writing is excessive repetition, and this should be avoided, as such explorations will be penalized for lack of conciseness. However, it is recognized that some explorations will require the use of several diagrams, which may extend them beyond the page limit. How long should it take? It is difficult to give a single answer. However, the guideline of 10 hours class time with approximately the same amount of time outside class should suffice for students to develop their ideas and complete the exploration. Does the exploration need a title? It is good practice to have a title for all pieces of work. If the exploration is based on a stimulus, it is recommended that the title not just be the stimulus. Rather, the title should give a better indication of where the stimulus has taken the student. For example, rather than have the title water, the title could be Water predicting storm surges. Can students in the same school/class use the same title for the exploration? Yes, but the explorations must be different, based on the avenues followed by each student. As noted above, the title should give an idea of what the exploration is about. Group work is not allowed. Can students in the same school/class use the same stimulus? Yes, this is permissible. However, the stimuli are intended to be broad themes around which a variety of foci could develop. It is therefore expected that, even if students use the same stimuli, the resulting explorations will be very different. How much help can a teacher give the student in finding a topic/focus for their exploration? The role of the teacher here is to provide advice to the student on choosing the topic, and there is no set limit to the amount of help a teacher can give in this respect. However, if the student has little or no input into the decision about which focus to choose, then it is unlikely that he or she will be able to explore the ideas successfully in order to generate a good exploration. How much help can the teacher give to the student with the mathematical content of the exploration? If a student needs help with the revision of a particular topic because they are having some problems using this in their exploration, then it is permissible (indeed, this is good practice) for the teacher to give this help. However, this must be done in such a way that is not directly connected with the exploration. What should the target audience be for a student when writing the exploration? The exploration should be accessible to fellow students. Can the students use mathematics other than that they have done in class? Yes, but this must be clearly explained and referenced, and teacher comments should clarify this. Can students use mathematics that is outside the syllabus? Yes, as long as the mathematics used is relevant. However, this is not necessary to obtain full marks. What is the difference between criterion A (communication) and criterion B (mathematical presentation)? Communication is focusing on the overall organization and coherence of the exploration, whereas mathematical presentation focuses on the appropriateness of the mathematics. An exploration that is logically set out in terms of its overall structure could score well in criterion A despite using inappropriate mathematics. Conversely, an exploration that

23 uses appropriate diagrams and technology to develop the ideas could score well in criterion B but poorly in criteriona because it lacked a clear aim or conclusion, for example. Can a student submit one of the old portfolios? The portfolio tasks were written for completely different criteria and are therefore unsuitable to be submitted as explorations. Does the exploration have to be word processed or handwritten? It can be in either form as long as it is clearly legible. Is a student penalized for using calculator notation? The use of such notation should be discouraged because it is likely to lead to poor communication and therefore loss of marks in the relevant criterion. Where it is convenient to use such notation, for example, in screenshots, then meanings should be clearly explained. What is personal engagement? The exploration is intended to be an opportunity for students to use mathematics to develop an area of interest to them rather than merely to solve a problem set by someone else. Criterion C (personal engagement) will be looking at how well the student is able to demonstrate that he or she has made the exploration their own and expressed ideas in an individual What is a complete exploration? In a complete exploration, all steps are clearly explained without detracting from its conciseness. What is the difference between precise and correct? As outlined in criterion E (use of mathematics), precise mathematics requires absolute accuracy with appropriate use of notation. Correct mathematics may contain the occasional error as long as it does not seriously interfere with the flow of the work or give rise to conclusions or answers that are clearly wrong. way.maths SL/HL TSM Edited August 2011
