CfE LEVEL 4 MATHEMATICS (from August 2012)

The Curriculum for Excellence Level 4 course in maths continues on from the Level 3 course covered in S1 and start of S2, covering the Learning Outcomes at Level 4 and allowing for progression, depth and differentiation. Through S2 and the start of S3, pupils should follow the same topics to appropriate depths, depending on their ability. Wherever possible, topics should be introduced through an active learning / investigative teaching approach. AIMS

The aims of the Level 4 course are to develop the four capacities of CfE – successful learners, effective contributors, responsible citizens and confident individuals through:

• developing powers of logical thinking. • helping pupils cope with the mathematical demands of other school subjects and of

everyday life. • reinforcing and developing fundamental concepts and skills relating to numeracy,

measurement, shape and relationships. • developing a body of mathematical knowledge, including standard vocabulary and notation. • developing practical skills, including an appreciation of the need for accuracy and clarity

of expression. • developing resourcefulness in applying knowledge and skills in problem solving and

experiences. • providing a firm grounding, appropriate to each pupil's ability, for the work of future

courses. MAIN RESOURCES

SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

Basic Numeracy Skills -

These are an important part of the course. The requirements are listed in the sections on Whole Numbers , Decimals and Fraction & Percentages. They should be taught and practised on a regular basis throughout the year. A useful resource for this is 10 Quick Questions. Enquiry Skills and Problem Solving

Developing resourcefulness in problem solving and investigating is an important aim of this course. Active learning and investigative teaching approaches allow pupils to share ideas and develop their problem solving abilities and skills at an appropriate pace. Literacy

Literacy and communication is a skill which lends itself to some unique applications in maths, where a concise mathematical language and notation is fundamental for progress. Pupils should be made aware of both the general and the specific development of literacy skills. Listening and Talking (LIT301-8, LIT 401-8) This is developed through encouraging pupils to make relevant contributions to class discussions and group work. Teachers take time to ensure that pupils are listened to and their contributions valued. Asking pupils to rephrase questions in their own words is an excellent way to develop and assess a pupil’s understanding of a task. In listening to or watching others, pupils are encouraged to identify key statements and facts, make notes, develop thinking skills and recall information. They can then, in turn, explain processes and show their understanding in summing up ideas using relevant mathematical language. Reading (LIT 311-18, LIT 411-18) Pupils are encouraged to source relevant materials for independent learning e.g. textbook, website, support sessions, to identify key statements and facts and to organise them into their own words. Pupils are taught to extract and analyse information from tables and graphs. Writing (LIT320-29, LIT 420 -29) Communication of answers in maths is developed through setting out clear logical thinking, step by step working and by proper mathematical notation. Specialist vocabulary is encouraged in written explanations, as is well set out and labelled graphs / diagrams.

Health and Wellbeing

Ensuring the Health and Wellbeing of pupils is paramount and, as with other skills, pupils should be made aware of how and when these skills are developed in and through Maths. Examples of how these are addressed in maths are: Relationships (HWB3-44,5 HWB4-44,5) – through group work, “think,pair,share”, peer assessment, collaborative learning, positive learning atmosphere Planning for choices and change (HWB 3-19, HWB4-19) – through target setting, self assessment, progress sheets, work done on careers involving maths, money management, extra support sessions Social Wellbeing (HWB309-14 HWB 409-14) – high expectations of respect & behaviour, clear consequences of unacceptable behaviour, praise and rewards used to encourage pupils, pupils encouraged to actively participate in class, wider school life, maths competitions etc. Pupils’ work displayed on website Physical Wellbeing (HWB315-18, HWB 415-18) Maths in context of health, diet, fitness, awareness of general safety issues e.g fire procedures, classroom / corridor behaviour Mental and Emotional Wellbeing (HWB 301-8, HWB 401 -8) Availability/ approachableness of staff, use of guidance referrals, positive classroom atmosphere, active learning, challenging activities, group work Posters are displayed on classroom walls to inform pupils of how they are developing their

Literacy skills and H&W skills in maths.

HOMEWORK and ASSESSMENT

Regular homework, at least once a fortnight, should be issued to pupils and monitored. Homework may be in the form of revision questions of topics already covered, ideas to investigate as an introduction to a new topic, tasks on mymaths, problem solving etc. Constructive feedback on the HW tasks should be given to pupils, either from teacher marking, self or peer marking. Self assessment booklets should be used to encourage pupils to take responsibility for their learning and to be aware of their next steps to success. Homework tasks and the Self Assessment exercises should be signed by a parent so they are aware of the work expected and the standard of work pupils are completing.

Assessment of L.O.s covered should be done at appropriate times in each block using the mini assessments. Results for these should be recorded in the database and evidence of success of the L.O.s filed in the pupils’ folders. In March of S2, pupils will sit a more formal assessment of the work covered to date comprising of two papers Paper 1: Approx 45 mins, non calculator, with questions accessible to most pupils (aiming for Nat 4) Paper 2: Approx 45 mins, with calculator. Pupils will sit either an extension paper (aiming for Nat 5) or a simpler paper (Nat 3) Results of these tests along with the mini assessments will inform S2 reports (April) and be used to channel pupils into suitable courses in S3/4

MTH 4-13c

I can use a given formula to generate points lying on a straight line, plot them to create a graphical representation then use this to answer related questions.

MTH 4-13d This unit represents an informal approach to the idea of graphs of straight lines, as a development of the “finding the formula” work in unit A3. Concept of gradient should be introduced. Pupils should be able to: REVIEW

• Plot points from a table of values for points where x = a, y = b, y = x, y = –x • Recognise equations of lines of the above forms.

and the equation of the line, for lines of the form y = mx. • Repeat for tables of values of formulae like y = 3x + 2. Use a variety of contexts and work

with positive gradients only. Some contexts will only work with positive co-ordinates, others will extend into other quadrants.

• TAKE TIME TO DEVELOP THIS CAREFULLY!

• Find the equation of a line from a graph or table of values – link this with finding a formula from a pattern.

EXTENSION

• Investigate graphs of the form y = mx + c, including negative values of m. • (The idea is to establish that c gives the y-intercept and m gives the gradient.)

MTH 4-17a

This topic lends itself to a practical approach, which may include drawing and measuring the angle made by tangents to the radius at the point of contact and the angle produced by connecting the end points of a diameter to any point on the circumference. Pupils should be able to: REVIEW

• Know meaning of radius, diameter, circumference • Be able to use a protractor accurately • Is familiar with triangle properties ( sum of angles in triangle = 180o)

MAIN CONTENT:

• Know that the radius forms a right angle at the point of contact with the tangent • Know that the angle formed in a semi - circle is a right angle • Use the above facts appropriately to solve related problems • Using : Circle properties Pythagoras SOHCAHTOA

EXTENSION:

• Can give a proof of the angle in a semi-circle theorem • Can investigate relationship between angles formed at the centre/ circumference of circles

etc … from • ‘6 Angle in circle theorems’ Heylings P 81 – P92

Pupils can connect both ends of a diameter to ANY point on the circumference of the circle and measure the resulting angle. Pupils can draw any tangent to a circle and produce a radius at the point of contact to check that the resulting angle is 90o
