Students learn that math is ordered, logical, and predictable because God’s order, logic and predictability is established in creation.
Mathematics is the language God used to create His universe
Understanding math gives us insight into the nature and character of God
Mathematical concepts are linked to God’s created world
Middle School Math and Higher Order Thinking
As a science of abstract objects, mathematics relies on logic rather than on memorization and observation.
Students are now moving from concrete to abstract thinking. 2 + 3 = 5 to 2a + 3b = x They will move beyond memorizing facts and
processes.
Involves: Analyzing Seeing complex patterns Applying known processes to new situations Learning a new language
HomeworkHomework Grade –
– Includes:• Homework assignments – checked daily, stamp given on
assignment sheet• Assignment Sheet – Weekly grade• Notes due at the end of the chapter
– Math homework should take about 30 minutes/night.
– Homework is a tool for students to practice concepts; learn independent thinking and self-evaluation.• Students should have minimal parent help. Parents
should not correct homework!• Homework is graded on completeness, not correct
answers.
Quizzes, Tests, Etc.
There will be a quiz or test approximately every week
Tests – – One per chapter– Test corrections are
required – 10 point test grade
– One retake per trimester
The middle school
students’ minds are
still maturing!
Be patient!
They are a (God’s)
work in progress.
High School Math Path
LHS Courses include: •Consumer Math•Pre-Algebra•Algebra 1•Enriched Algebra 1•Geometry•Honors Geometry, •Intermediate Algebra 2• Algebra 2/Trigonometry•Honors Algebra 2/Trigonometry•Pre-Calculus•Honors Pre-Calculus•Contemporary•Calculus•AP Statistics•AP Calculus
UC Mathematics Requirements– 3 years required, 4 years recommendedThree years of college-preparatory mathematics that include the topics covered in elementary and advanced algebra and two- and three-dimensional geometry. Approved integrated math courses may be used to fulfill part or all of this requirement, as may math courses taken in the seventh and eighth grades that your high school accepts as equivalent to its own math courses.
Success in Higher Math Advice for students (and parents)Be there – absences can really hurtBe interestedListen and take notesCorrect your own work – want to know
what you did wrongAsk questions when you don’t
understand– Make an appointment with the teacher if
necessary
