HOURLY INTENSITY BY CYCLE (HIC): 5

GRADE: 8 Track B (MYP Year 3)

PERIOD: 1

 

1. INTRODUCTION

The study of mathematics is a fundamental part of a balanced education. It promotes a powerful universal language, analytical reasoning and problem-solving skills that contribute to the development of logical, abstract and critical thinking. Mathematics can help make sense of the world and allows phenomena to be described in precise terms. It also promotes careful analysis and the search for patterns and relationships, skills necessary for success both inside and outside the classroom. Mathematics, then, should be accessible to and studied by all students.

 

2. GENERAL OBJECTIVES

At the end of this second  period, the general objective encompasses the following:

 

●      Enjoy mathematics, develop your curiosity about it, and begin to appreciate its elegance and the possibilities it offers.

●      Develop an understanding of the principles and nature of mathematics.

●      Communicate clearly and confidently in a variety of contexts.

●      Develop logical, critical, and creative thinking.

●      Apply and transfer skills to a wide range of real-world situations, other areas of knowledge, and future developments.

●      Appreciate how technological advances have influenced advances in mathematics and vice versa.

●      Develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to delve deeper into the study of mathematics.

●      Develop the ability to critically reflect on your own work and that of others.

 

3. COMPETENCES / ABILITIES TO DEVELOP (depending on the subject)

●        Understanding: MYP 3 students should be able to understand mathematical concepts and principles and apply them to solve problems and make sense of real-world situations.

●        Reasoning: MYP 3 students should be able to reason logically and critically, and to make connections between mathematical concepts and other areas of knowledge.

●        Problem-solving: MYP 3 students should be able to use mathematical concepts and skills to solve a variety of problems, including those that are unfamiliar or complex.

●        Communication: MYP 3 students should be able to communicate mathematical ideas and solutions clearly and effectively, using appropriate mathematical notation and language.

●        Reflection: MYP 3 students should be able to reflect on their learning, evaluate their understanding, and identify areas for improvement.

●        Applying: MYP 3 students should be able to apply mathematical concepts and skills in real-world contexts, such as in the context of space and time.

 

4. METHODOLOGY

The methodology includes the following tools:

●      Workshops

●      Formative assessments

●      Summative assessment

●      Digital textbook

●      Use of mathematical software.
