Session+5+Summative+Assessments

=__Aim__:=
 * A well-designed summative assessment task or performance enables students to demonstrate their understanding in and/or across subject areas.

=__Objectives__:=
 * To recognize the value of an aligned curriculum.
 * To apply vertical and horizontal collaboration to create units of work.
 * To explore the ongoing process of designing an effective, rigorous curriculum.

=__Resources__:= =Standard C2 - Written curriculum #4a, 6, 9, 10=
 * 4. the written curriculum identifies the knowledge, concepts, skills and attitudes to be developed over time. - (a) The school documents the curriculum in terms of subject content, including conceptual understanding and skills that will allow students to reach the prescribed objectives.
 * 6. The written curriculum incorporates relevant experiences for students.
 * 9. The written curriculum is informed by current IB publications and is reviewed regularly to incorporate developments in the programme(s).
 * 10. The written curriculum integrates the policies developed by the school to support the programme(s).

=Standard C3 - Teaching and learning #2, 3, 9, 10, 11=
 * 2. Teaching and learning engages students as inquirers and thinkers.
 * 3. Teaching and learning builds on what students know and can do.
 * 9. Teaching and learning uses a range and variety of strategies.
 * 10. Teaching and learning differentiates instruction to meet students' learning needs and styles.
 * 11. Teaching and learning incorporates a range of resources, including information technologies.

=Standard C4 - Assessment #3=
 * 3. The school uses a range of strategies and tools to assess student learning.

= __Notes__: =
 * 1)  Every MYP unit of work will have an approaches to learning (ATL) component broken down in stage 2 of the unit planner. Therefore, an MYP unit of work is generally derived from one of the other four areas of interaction.
 * 2) Some practitioners find success in a two-step process to arrive at an age- appropriate student-centred question. First, invert the significant concept into an “adult question” Then, using the adult question as guidance, create a more age- appropriate student-centred question. (MYP students may be more inspired by questions that are framed in the first person e.g. I, me, our, we).

SAMPLE UNIT QUESTIONS [[file:Sample Unit Questions.pdf]]
The IB encourages schools to explore a variety of strategies for mapping their curriculum across programmes.

demonstrates the approach of backward planning, and is intended to support schools and teachers in developing their own articulated curriculum that can prepare students for success in MYP and Diploma Programme. This document is __not__ meant to serve as official IB curriculum materials.

is a helpful document for backward planning, and preparing MYP students for the Diploma Programme.

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES & ACTIVITIES
**__Complex Learning Project__**--may be year-long efforts that engage whole teams, specialized groups, or classes to accomplish a common goal. • students get actively involved, hands on, with sections of the curriculum that is relevant and global • from preliminary planning through actual construction/landscaping, the students participate at every step (under the supervision of professionals and the teacher).

**__Student Choice__**--the 'regular-ed' students, special needs populations, and gifted students will all appreciate choice: • the student may pick //the type// of skill-building acitivity that fits his/her learning style: (1) find the areas of needed contrast, (2) match them up with a strength, and (3) monitor and give feedback.  **__Curriculum Compacting__**--compacting allows students to 'compress' their learning into a much shorter period of time, based on their ability to pass competency tests (aka telescoping): • the three-part process is as follows: (1) define clear outcomes (standards) for content or skill areas, (2) carefully assess students to find out who can already meet those outcomes, and (3) for those who can meet the outcomes before the traditional instruction would begin, modify or eliminate that work. Teachers need to help them set suitably challenging alternative goals, materials, and procedures to follow.

**__Ability Grouping__**--the teacher can create an //enrichment// cluster where a team leader meets privately with the teacher before or after a class to set goals and manage milestones: • the cluster may work as a whole unit or individually • when each student has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) they will know what areas to work on • the //enrichment// cluster may also work on a group project

== **Content topics that come from school-based requirements or state standards ultimately provides the platform for the unit of work. In addition, the mathematics objectives for year 5 are a set of prescribed objectives that form the basis for the assessment criteria (published in the guide).** ==

**Notes to remember:**
Ø Rationale for the framework: the framework aims to offer schools the possibility of organizing their own mathematics curriculum in a way which reflects local/national needs while providing adequate direction and advice to ensure some commonality. Ø Schools are expected to use the framework for mathematics as a tool for curriculum mapping to assist them in the vertical and horizontal planning of their courses and in the development of units of work in mathematics. Ø Flexibility for schools: there is no prescription for a particular order or sequence in which the branches of the framework should be addressed, or the way in which the concepts and skills should be used when structuring units of work in mathematics. Ø However, over the five years of the programme, schools must ensure that they provide students with the opportunity to experience learning in all the branches of the framework. Ø Links between the branches of mathematics: concepts and skills which exemplify the prescribed branches of mathematics are often interrelated. In any particular unit of work, aspects of different branches may be present in varying degrees. Ø Extended mathematics is designed to give mathematically able students the opportunity to develop additional skills and concepts. Ø Extended mathematics provides a foundation for students who wish to pursue further studies in mathematics, e.g. mathematics higher level (HL) as part of the IB Diploma programme.

=Significant concept(s) should start with, "Learners will understand that..."=

Specific Mathematics Examples:
__**Learners will understand that**__ solving linear equations and inequalities involves the reversal of operations influencing the variable.

__**Learners will understand that**__ geometric figures can be replicated or distorted through transformations.

__**Learners will understand that**__ conversions allow comparison of numbers and appropriate applications in problem solving.

His supersized images picture some almost unimaginable statistics -- like the astonishing number of paper cups we use every single day. He runs the numbers on modern American life -- making large-format, long-zoom artwork from the most mindblowing data about our stuff.

Is mathematics art or science?

 * (Rosheen rgray@kristin.school.nz) This was originally investigation task but I now realise that it needs serious work to become one! **

Mike Tarnow miketar10@gmail.com This task was used after students spent time learning properties of number systems through investigations of ancient number systems.

This task is meant as an opportunity to learn through investigation. Students are taught about points and angles before hand, but in this task they must investigate angles and sides of different polygons. Each step is meant to take 1 day and in between each of those steps the step should be taught/reviewed.
