ACHIEVEMENT CATEGORIES

Parent Council Presentation 2012 with parent questions.notebook 7 February 24, 2012

CONTINUUM TO HIGH SCHOOL FROM GRADE 1 TO 8 MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM:

• Number Sense and Numeration
• Measurement
• Geometry and Spatial Sense
• Patterning and Algebra
• Data Management and Probability

Where expectations were linearly aligned in grades 1 ­ 8, upon entering the high school curriculum they begin to merge and overlap. This complexity increases at every grade.

WHAT MIGHT THIS LOOK LIKE IN A MATH CLASSROOM ? OPEN QUESTIONS

which allow for students to deepen their understanding of concepts and that encourage rich discussion ("math talk")

Parent Council Presentation 2012 with parent questions.notebook 27 February 24, 2012

You know that a line goes through the point (4,2) and that it slants up and to the right. Name one other thing that you are sure is NOT true about the line.

What expectations does this question address?
