Orchids
Gonshor: Glad to be starting a new unit.
Fuller: Looking forward to working on the new hybrid year 4 course.
Mickey: Has achieved peace in the PLC.
Marchetti: Excited about working with the data.
Discussion of changes to IMP2 to meet district and testing needs:
Fireworks moved to Year 2
Pit moved to Year 2
Skill Supplements
Curriculum map developed to fill gaps (IMP materials not a perfect fit with district curriculum)
CSAP practice booklets
Honors vs Non-honors
Estimates of differences (some variety exists from teacher to teacher)
Fireworks
Algebraic Manipulation
Honors
Tested vertex and factored forms with “a” coefficient
x-intercepts through completing the square
Derived Quadratic Formula
Non-Honors
Demonstrated vertex and factored forms with “a” coefficient (not tested)
Used Quadratic Formula
Rule of Four
Honors
Standard form to all others with and without graphing calculator
Benefits of different forms
Table symmetry for vertex
Points on graph to equation
Non-Honors
a, h, and k of vertex form found graphically
intercepts and vertex from graph and equation
standard form – c (huh?)
variables from solution (huh?)
Pit
ELOs
Normal Distribution/Standard Deviation
Curve Fitting (Rule of Four)
Measures of Central Tendency
Experimental Design (not to be tested?)
Honors
Regression/Correlation
Selection of most appropriate measure of central tendency
Variance, by hand
Data Analysis Protocol
Begun in computer lab
To be continued individually in Wiki- looking for trends for D/F males in IMP 2
