Overview:
Mathematics is
used in everyday situations at school, at home and at work. The goal of this
course is to develop the mathematical skills required in daily life. By the end
of the Pre-Work program, students will not only have learned key mathematical
skills but will also have applied them in real life situations through their
work placements.
Topics:
Topics that will
be covered in this course includes:
● Arithmetic: Unit conversions, money, number and
operation sense
● Statistics and probability: diagrams and tables,
situational problems, data analysis
● Geometry: Measurement, two and three dimensional
objects, graphing, length, area, volume
Course Evaluation:
Students will be
assessed on their ability to solve situational problems and use mathematical
reasoning.
● The students’ knowledge and working
comprehension of learned math skills will be evaluated throughout the year.
● Competencies will be evaluated and reported on
at the end of every term
● Students will be working at the levels
identified on their IEPs.
● Progress towards SMART goals will be evaluated
at four intervals throughout the school year.
The Mathematics
program consists of three competencies that will be formally evaluated at the
end of Term 1 and 3 on a Report Card and in a progress report in the middle of
term 1. These competencies are:
- To solve situational problems
- To use mathematical reasoning
The
breakdown for each term is as follows:
|
