These content areas are presented from three perspectives; 1. to build upon our student’s current knowledge and skills in these areas 2. to create awareness of the key concepts that underlie these mathematical areas 3. to highlight connections to the scientific and technological uses of mathematics In order to establish an environment favorable for learning, our students will be asked to work collaboratively, sharing their ideas and assisting each other. They will also be asked to regularly assess their learning skills and evaluate their work. The creation of this environment at the start of the course will help to bring the students lasting success both in future mathematics courses and across other curricula areas. Textbook Pre-Algebra Holt McDougal 2012 ISBN-13: 978-0-547-58777-6 Some courses follow a textbook page by page, however in this course the text book will be treated as a resource to be dipped into when it can support our wider learning objectives. Course Outline & Objectives Unit 1: Number Systems - Decimals and Fractions [Indicators 1&2] Decimals and decimal comparison Calculating with decimals +, - , / , * Fractions and fraction comparison Calculating with fractions +, - , / , * Relations between decimals and fractions End of Midterm Exam Content – Start of Final Exam Content Unit 3: Graphing – The Cartesian plane [Indicators 3 & 4] Ordered pairs and graphs of ordered pairs Graphs and their application Unit 4: Graphing – Linear Relationships [Indicators 5 - 7, 13] Resources Required Suggested Patterns and relations Answers of linear equations with one variable Solutions of linear equations with one variable Linear equation problems A4 plastic portfolio (to keep all student work and handouts) A4 lined paper A4 graph paper Ruler Many different colored pens/markers/highlighters English dictionary (a printed edition - not a phone-based application) A basic calculator (a real calculator – not a phone-based application) Academic Integrity Policy Everyone in the classroom will be expected to add to the learning environment by talking and sharing their ideas about mathematics, as well as listening to and considering the thoughts of their classmates. Whilst copying is unhelpful, sharing ideas is positive - students need to be helped to see the difference. Students who attempt to free-ride on the efforts of their teammates will be put under pressure by their teammates and their teacher to get involved and positively contribute in the learning process. Students are expected to adhere to the Assumption College student handbook. Behavioral Expectations Students will be asked to work collaboratively, speaking English to discuss and share mathematical ideas. Working together is a core modern skill, and students will be expected to add positively to the learning environment and not behave in ways that stop themselves or others working. The teacher will regularly monitor the behavior of each student to see if they are on-task or off-task. These observations will account for 15% of their grade. Importantly, students will also be required to assess their own behavior throughout the course, stating how they have helped or hindered their own learning and that of their classmates. Their honest evaluations (moderated by the teacher) will contribute a further 5% of their grade. This policy is designed to help each student develop self-discipline and personal awareness. All Thai students are expected to embrace the following desired characteristics: Love for the country and the King, faith in religion Possess discipline Eager to learn Be self-sufficient Dedicated to work Proud to be Thai Have a sense of public consciousness Be an AC gentleman Be honest and upright Attendance & Tardiness Attendance will be taken at the start of every class. Students are expected to be in class ontime. In the case of planned absences, please notify the teacher in as far in advance as possible. Students are expected to catch up on all missed work outside of class time. Homework & Classwork Homework and classwork will be assigned often and must be submitted on the due date. Students should be aware that much of their work will be conducted as a team, so not completing their work will affect the grade of their teammates. Grading This course follows to the Assumption College grading scale: Final Score ≥ 80% 75% ≤ Final Score < 80% 70% ≤ Final Score < 75% 65% ≤ Final Score < 70% 60% ≤ Final Score < 65% 55% ≤ Final Score < 60% 50% ≤ Final Score < 55% Final Score < 50% 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.0 Evaluation and Assessment The final semester grade for this course out of 100% is broken down as follows: Content: Evaluations of behavior On task/ Off task observations Midterm Exam Assessment process: Self-assessed (Moderated by teacher) Self-assessed (Moderated by teacher) Self-assessed (Moderated by teacher) Teacher assessed Teacher assessed Final Exam Teacher assessed Individually produced work Team produced projects Weighting: 5% 10% 20% 15% 30% (program mandated) 20% (program mandated) Recommendations for Success This course can help every student to improve their mathematical skills. It will be particularly effective for each student to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. be truthful to themselves when they assess how they helped others in their groups be truthful to themselves when they evaluate the work that they produced share their ideas with their teammates and listen to alternative ideas look for opportunities to improve their work choose mathematical questions that challenge themselves - don’t just answer the questions that they find easy 6. check every answer using at least two strategies so that they are 100% sure each answer is correct 7. encourage their friends - never behave in a way that stops other people learning MA20202 Universal Mathematics 2 Teacher Contact Mr. David Ryder EP Teacher Room, 2nd Floor Colombet Bldg.

There is to be no plagiarism, no copying, and no cheating of any kind. These and any other acts of academic dishonestly lower the quality of the education and will not be tolerated. Students involved in any form of academic dishonesty, including any student supplying or allowing the copying to take place, will receive a zero. Plagiarism is the act of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own work or ideas. Examples of plagiarism include the failure to give appropriate acknowledgement when repeating another’s idea, phrase, sentence or paragraph, or failure to give appropriate acknowledgement when paraphrasing any of those. Behavioral Expectations For the sake of all the members of the class, students are expected to respect themselves, their classmates, the teacher, and the facilities. Students must accept responsibility for themselves and their actions. Students are expected to be ready at the start of every class (Notebooks, textbook, scientific calculator, writing utensils, etc.) and to actively participate throughout the lesson until class is dismissed. Behavior is monitored every day as per the class rules that are set out at the beginning of the academic year (see the front of your note books). At the end of the semester the average is taken and used for the student’s behavior score (10%). Students earn the scores they receive. Additionally, all Thai students are expected to embrace the following desired characteristics: Love for the country and the King, faith in religion Possess discipline Eager to learn Be self-sufficient Dedicated to work Proud to be Thai Have a sense of public consciousness Be an AC gentleman Be honest and upright Attendance & Tardiness Attendance will be taken at the start of every class. Students are expected to be in class ontime, every time. Unexcused absences or tardiness will not be tolerated. In the case of planned absences, please notify the teacher in as far in advance as possible. Students are expected to catch up on all missed work outside of class time. Homework & Classwork Homework and classwork will be assigned often and must be submitted on or before the due date for a full score. If the work is not done for the start of class, a maximum score of 75% will be possible. After more than one day has lapsed, a maximum score of 50% will be available. Late assignments can be submitted for a maximum of 50% up until the last week of the term. All late or missed assignments that are not turned in before the last week of the term will receive a zero. Grading This course follows to the Assumption College grading scale: Final Score ≥ 80% 75% ≤ Final Score < 80% 70% ≤ Final Score < 75% 65% ≤ Final Score < 70% 60% ≤ Final Score < 65% 55% ≤ Final Score < 60% 50% ≤ Final Score < 55% Final Score < 50% 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.0 Evaluation and Assessment The final semester grade for this course out of 100% is broken down as follows: Points 30% 20% 15% 10% For…….. Mid-Term Exam Final Exam Quiz Class Participation 10% Homework N/A Project 10% 5% Behaviour Review Sheet/Mock Exam Monitor/Grade (program mandated) (program mandated) 4 Quizzes per semester Teacher moves round the class and checks the notes or classwork. Students automatically get a max score, but if the teacher sees that they have not completed the notes or exercises they will have points deducted. Homework will only be graded if there is a parent/guardian signature to state that the work was completed at home. If a signature is faked you will get an automatic 0 for the semester. This will be graded in as part of the class participation and homework points: Class Participation - their presentation Homework - their preparation at home (program mandated) Students can get points by making a review sheet or mock exam. This must be individual work………questions must be different from the notes and friends. Any copied work will receive a 0. Recommendations for Success Mathematics can be a difficult course for many students. All students are encouraged to try the following: 1. Read, read, read the course textbook. Often, reading the text once is not enough even for native English speakers. You may need to read the material multiple times to understand. By reading along at home with the lessons taught at school (typically only a few pages per night), students will be able to responsibly manage the material and gain the most from the course. 2. Search online, in either Thai or English, if you don’t understand a topic discussed in class or simply to get a better understanding of the topic. 3. Get a Thai language introductory mathematics book. 4. Get a math and/or physics tutor. The tutor should be helping you learn, not doing the work for you! 5. Do not copy your classmates work; struggle through and do the work on your own! This is how you learn! 6. Come see the teacher outside of class time for assistance. 7. Do more than just the bare minimum; there are plenty of problems in the textbook. We only have time for so many of them. Do the review questions at the end of the chapter and see the teacher for the answers. 8. Study the notes and vocabulary at least a few minutes every day, such as in homeroom or during any free time you might have in other classes.
