Implementation • Videos • Group work • Active learning • Literacy strategies • Textbook / course materials • CRMS content • Direct instruction • Technology: Calculators and Spreadsheets • Current events
Created by faculty from GRCC and partner school districts. Provides rigorous alternative to calculus track for high-school seniors. Senior Course Development
Investigate deep and interesting topics in mathematics while preserving and improving algebra competency. Rekindle the excitement and beauty of mathematics. Senior Course Development
Pre-Development Issues • 1 semester or 2 semester course • Module based or stand alone course • H.S minimum math requirements • Competing AP math courses
Pre-Development Issues • Available high school math teachers • Time to meet • What’s in a name? Discrete Math BAT Math Advanced Quantitative Reasoning College-Prep Math • Applications in Mathematical Reasoning
Graph Theory Scheduling Linear Programming Voting Statistics and Probability Fair Division Course Content Semester I
Finance Geometry Modeling continuous functions: linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, and logistic Game Theory Course ContentSemester II
Assess students at beginning and end of year with WAMAP. http://www.wamap.org/ Administer student and teacher perception surveys Observe students’ progress post-senior year Course Assessment
Professional development: “just-in-time” Content and pedagogy Course materials and supplies Textbooks Calculators and sensor/motion probes Substitute cost assistance Consequences Engage in hands-on learning Establish a learning community Instructor Support
Excitement for new material Administrative/counselor support The magnitude of the project was a surprise Always expect material will require more time than intended for writing and editing Democratic approach takes time but leads to a richer course Needed one decision maker eventually Lessons Learned in Creating a New Course
Collaboration across and within sectors Interest and awareness by administrators and instructors in other disciplines Mathematical engagement of students Teacher Reflections
Always expect that teaching the material requires more time than intended Class preparation is critical Additional information for the instructor resource manual Teacher prep time and money Administrative support Need resource/content individual for help Pilot test materials need enough polish to engage and support instructors, but will need significant revision Assessment requires piloting: content and delivery Lessons Learned Implementing this Course
Communication across sectors: Summer Symposiums COMING SOON! Summer Symposium - August 25, 2008 Revised Math Standards Facilitated by Dr. Susan Hudson-Hull, UT Dana Center
