MYP Assessment in Mathematics Parent Information Session Tuesday, September 18, 2018

Mathematics at BIS • Identified area of growth for BIS via ISA Results • IB DP Results are strong (HL-5.5 , SL-5.3, Studies-4.5) • Curricular vertical alignment - Backwards design (IB Math - Two new courses being introduced SY19-20)

2017/18 ISA Results Grade Level Math 3 4 X 5 6 X 7 X 8 X 9 X 10 X

BIS Response • Ensure Alignment • Maintain rigor set by our SY 18-19 Math Department • Identify gaps in knowledge and skills • Provide extra math support when gaps identified • Parent and Student education regarding Assessment Criteria and Grading

Community Response • Support the Math Department • Encourage and reinforce grit, growth mindset • Encourage homework and practice • Support the Grade Recalibration • Provide tutoring if required

Criteria

Criterion A - Knowing and understanding

Criterion B - Investigating patterns Assessment tasks could have a variety of solutions and should enhance independent mathematical thinking.

Criterion B - Investigating patterns Grade 6 Grade 7&8 Grade 9&10

Criterion C - Communicating

Criterion C - Communicating

Criterion D - Applying mathematics in real-life contexts Mathematics can be used to model many situations (for example, painting a room, analysing mobile telephone tariff plans, triangulation, diet plans).

Criterion D - Applying mathematics in real-life contexts

Example task aligned with Criterion A - G7

E.g. Level 1-2 Question

E.g. 3-4 Question: Expressing Percentages. Calculating Percentage change. a) Express 22 days as a percentage of the days in July b) Sam jumped 2.4 metres in the long jump. His second jump was 25% longer. How long was his second jump? c) Matthew scored 22 out of 30 in a recent examination. What was his score as a percentage?

Level 5-6 E.g 5-6 Question: In order for a school to allow a vending machine to be placed next to the cafeteria, 65% of the school's population must ask for it. If 340 of the school's 650 students have requested the vending machines, how many more are needed to get the vending machines?

E.g. Q8. Daniel bakes 420 cakes. He bakes only vanilla cakes, banana cakes, lemon cakes and chocolate cakes. ● 2/7 of the cakes are vanilla cakes. ● 35% of the cakes are banana cakes. ● The ratio of the number of lemon cakes to the number of chocolate cakes is 4:5 How many lemon cakes does Daniel bake?
