//DRAFT AGENDA - MAY 27, 2011// Grade 11 Math Cohort Chinook’s Edge Grade 11 Cohort May 27, 2011 9:00 – 3:15

9:00 – 9:10 Welcome and Introductions (use Tom Lehrer video) 9:10 – 10:30 The Why before the What · The intent of each stream? · How are we streaming students? · How are we combining classes? · What is needed – let’s work together to create Discussion of Resources and availability · Math 20-1: // McGraw-Hill Ryerson – Pre-Calculus 11 //(approved) - $81.27 EOD Price through LRC // Pearson – Pre-calculus 11 // // workbook // (not approved) - $17.95 through Pearson // Absolute Value – Pre-calculus 11 workbook // (not approved) – price not listed – approx. $13.95 · Math 20-2: // Nelson – Principles of Mathematics 11 // (approved) - $79.92 EOD Price through LRC // Absolute Value – Foundations of Mathematics 11 //(not approved) – price not listed – approx. $13.95 · Math 20-3: // Pacific Education Press – MathWorks 11 // (approved) Include access to the MathWorks 11 Teachers Resource (use link on Delicious) - $61.56 EOD Price through LRC // Nelson – Mathematics for Apprenticeship and Workplace workbook // (not approved) - $19.95 through Nelson 10:30 – 10:45 Break (use Chuck and Bob video) 10:45 – 10:555 Update from Alberta Education regarding Math 30-1 and Math 30-2 (use Alberta Education handouts from April 13, 2011) 10:55 – 11:15 Learn Alberta – Explorelearning Gizmos for Grade 10 and 11 (use Grade 10 Math Gizmos Word document, Grade 11 Math Gizmos Word Document and LearnAlberta website ) 11:15 – 11:30 Chocolate Bar Project (use Chocolate Bar Project materials) 11:30 – 11:45 Law of Sines/Law of Cosines Exploration (use Illuminations materials. The Law of Cosines is more complex and may require some assistance but it is otherwise good) 11:45 – 12:55 Lunch (on own) 12:55 – 1:00 Return from lunch (use What pi Sounds Like video) 1:00 – 1:15 Building Connections (use Illuminations materials – handout all 3 but only do first worksheet. Note: the answer key provided is not aligned with the questions) 1:15 – 1:30 Hanging Chains (use Illuminations materials – hand out pre-activity questions and go through) · Discuss // Catenaries //and point out that students do not need to know this · Use as a review of system of equations that can be used to solve for the equation · Just as the equations of virtually all linear equations can be found if we know two points on the line, virtually all quadratic equations can be found if we know three points on the relation 1:30 – 1:40 Arithmetic Series Investigation (use Arithmetic Series investigation) 1:40 – 3:00 Collaborative time for planning 3:00 – 3:15 Next steps for this cohort to focus on implementation
