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
