  3. Changes in the Mathematics Curriculum The new New York State Mathematics Learning Standards

  4. Is it really what it sounds like? • Three proposed Regents Examinations • Integrated Algebra • Integrated Geometry • Integrated Algebra 2 and Trigonometry

  5. NYS Regents program over the years

  6. The new proposed NYS Regents program in Mathematics • Reverts to a more traditional sequence of high school mathematics courses • Includes the real-world connections and the constructed response format of questions found in Math A and Math B • Three Regents examinations • Graphing calculators needed • Includes probability, and statistics as in the Sequential Math program and Math A and Math B as well as some of the logic • More in-sinc with other parts of the country • Based on NCTM Standards

  7. The current Regents program Math A – June of 9th grade (grade 8 for accelerated students) Math B – June of 11th grade (grade 10 for accelerated students) The new Regents program Integrated Algebra – June of 9th grade (or grade 8) Geometry – June of 10th grade (or grade 9) Integrated Algebra and Trigonometry – June of 11th grade (or grade 10) When will students take the Mathematics Regents Examination(s)?

  8. Normal Approximation • In a binomial distribution of n trials, the mean = np and the standard deviation = or. Let r represent the number of successes in n trials. Since the data in a binomial distribution is discrete rather than continuous, then to estimate the probability of at least r successes in n trials, it is necessary to subtract 0.5 • from r .

  9. New topics • The two major new topics are: • Normal Approximation to a Binomial Distribution • Sequences and Series Check out the handout taken from the NYSED Crosswalk for Algebra Two/Trigonometry

  10. Normal Approximation for a Binomial Probability Math Facts

  11. Example 1 A manufacturer of light bulbs knows that the probability that a light bulb produced by his company being defective is 0.01. Out of 30 light bulbs sold to one of his customers, use a normal distribution to approximate the probability that no more than 3 are defective?

  12. manual solution

  13. Solution to Example 1 • In this binomial distribution the mean = and the standard deviation = . . The graphing calculator can be used to determine this result using a low value of 0.5 lower than the least possible number 0 or –0.5 and 3.5 as the highest number, mean = 0.3 and standard deviation of 0.545, press • 2nd VARS 2 –0.5 , 2.5 , 0.3 , 0.545 ) ENTER .

  14. Calculator screen

  15. Example 2 Anytime Gary plays James in a game of chess, he has a 70% probability of winning the game. If they play 10 chess games, use a normal distribution to approximate the probability that Gary wins at least 8 games.

  16. Solution to Example 2 • In this binomial distribution the mean = 10(.7) = 7 and the standard deviation = . .

  17. Using the calculator the answer is revealed as:
