Design Overview
This course was designed for seamless transitioning between in-person and remote learning during the 2020/21 school year, and as such all materials were posted on Google Classroom, lessons being supported with Google Meet streaming, and with assessments being “open book, take home” assessments that were submitted via Google Classroom. For this reason, I’ll be posting the assessments as well, but not the answer keys.
Additionally, the sequencing of this course was designed to line up with another Ma20-1 teacher, who wished to cover Radicals and Quadratics first, so that weaker Ma20-1 students could transition to Ma20-2 in the same block of time if they were struggling. From there, each chapter was it’s own independent “unit”, with the easiest units being placed last to ensure that if we finished the year with remote learning, we wouldn’t be worried about covering difficult content during that time.
Start-Up
Unit 1 – Radicals and Quadratics
l10 – BUFFER DAY
l20 – BUFFER DAY
Unit 2 – Inductive and Deductive Reasoning
NOTE: Students were instructed to complete their choice of 4 of the 6 assignments:
l35 – BUFFER DAY
Unit 3 – Statistical Reasoning
l45-l46 – BUFFER DAYS
Unit 4 – Acute Triangle Trigonometry
l54-l55 – BUFFER DAYS
Unit 5 – Proportional Reasoning
By the time I got to this unit, I was pretty burnt out, so I didn’t key everything. Sorry.
l64-l65 – BUFFER DAYS
Unit 6 – Properties of Angles and Triangles
This unit is designed as a “work at your own pace”, and uses Nelson’s “Principles of Mathematics 11” textbook.
l69-l70 – BUFFER DAYS
Unit 7 – Appreciation of Mathematics
l73-l74 – BUFFER DAYS
Year End Review
All year end review will be free-form review, and going over previous quizzes and assignments. Also, the Final Exam will not be posted on this website.
