  11. Who is in IB?

  12. What is IB?

  13. Where is IB?

  14. When MCPS Subjects Middle Years Programme • English • World Languages • Social Studies • Technology • Sciences • Mathematics • Arts • Physical Education • Language and Literature • Language Acquisition • Individuals and Societies • Design • Sciences • Mathematics • Arts • Physical and Health Education

  15. Why IB? The overall goal of the IB Middle Years Programme is to develop students who will be: • life-long learners • critical thinkers • responsible global citizens

  16. How do we IB? For more information: Nancy Deprey, Coordinator Nancy_C_Deprey@mcpsmd.org 301-279-3979

  22. MCPS and Common Core Strand Comparison

  23. Curriculum 2.0 Shift from Information Transmission Model to Comprehensive Mathematics Instruction Model

  24. Topics of Study in Current Math 6: • Graphing Data and Analyzing Statistics • Choices in data collection and representation affect their interpretation and use. • Decimal Operations and Applications • Selection of standard measurement tools and units depend on the real world. • Computational estimations produce approximate results. • Multiplication does not always make larger and division does not always make smaller. • Fractions, decimals, and percents can be used interchangeably. • Geometry • Relationships exist among the angles, side, lengths, perimeters, and areas of two-dimensional figures. • Geometric figures can change position and maintain the same attributes on a coordinate plane. • Geometric relationships exist between two-dimensional and three dimensional figures. • Algebra, Patterns and Functions • Patterns and relationships can be represented graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally. • Algebraic representations can be use to solve real world problems • Probability • Probability is the mathematics of chance. • Sampling affects the relationship between experimental and theoretical probability.

  25. Topics of Study in Math 2.0: * Ratios and Proportional Relationships Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems. The Number System Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions. Multiply and divide multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples. Apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers. Expressions and Equations Apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions. Reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities. Represent and analyze quantitative relationships between dependent and independent variables. Geometry Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume. Statistics and Probability Develop understanding of statistical variability. Summarize and describe distributions. * The topics of study listed above may not necessarily be taught in the order listed.

  35. Student Service Learning (SSL) Students must earn 75 hours of SSL to graduate from any Public High School in Maryland. Students may start earning SSL hours during the summer following their 5th grade year. Students may earn 10 hours of SSL for activities infused into the grade 6 science curriculum. Please visit www.mcpsssl.org for more information.
