JAMES RUSE AGRICULTURAL HIGH SCHOOL
MATHEMATICS PROGRAMME YEAR 9

OBJECTIVES

The main purpose of the Year 9 course is to consolidate the pupils' algebraic and geometric skills, to introduce them to interest areas applying these and to develop problem solving strategies.

PRINCIPLES

In Year 9 it is intended that:

i) consolidation and development of algebraic and geometric skills should occur,

ii) application of techniques to probability should occur,

iii) the concept of mathematical proof be further developed in both geometry and co-ordinate geometry.

iv) the development of problem solving skills especially in the areas of mensuration and trigonometry, in geometry, in the use of graphs and in solving equations.

OUTCOMES

Students should, by the end of Year 9,

i) be competent in the algebraic techniques required in the Years 11, 12 courses,

ii) be competent in geometrical proofs to the standard specified in the Year 11-3 unit course,

iii) be motivated for further work in mathematics through their encounter with interest areas and problem solving techniques.

iv) have improved their strategies in solving of a problem in which areas of required knowledge are unspecified.

PROBLEM SOLVING:

    JROTC is not like any other High school course. JROTC it is different in many ways. Regular high school courses just teach you mostly about one subject. However jrotc teaches you about a variety of different and unique subjects. In Jrotc they teach important skills such as first aid, and speech giving. It is important for students to learn skills like that it is because you would need to know those skills for any kind of career you were going to pursue.…

    “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” Said by Steve Jobs. Being in Jrotc had taught me many things. I first joined as a sophomore. I didn't know what to expect. Since I’ve started JROTC I’ve been challenged mentally, physically, and emotionally. I have learned how to work more as a team and learn about leadership. Most things I’ve learned in JROTC I probably wouldn't have learned in my other classes. Cadets have managed to overcome many fears, tears, lifelong friendships, and unforgettable memories. Therefore, Jrotc builds character and leadership by its many activities such as conducting color guards, being apart of the chain of command, and being apart of the raider team.…

    We also covered using visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems. Week two we also did an individual assignment to help us understand geometry. Week three we covered the application of geometry using chapters 10 and 11. We analyze geometric definitions and relationships including congruency, triangle properties and triangle inequalities. Circles and arcs are another concept studied as well as proportions between parallel lines and congruent segments. This helped me to study similarity and proportions between polygons and triangle. At the end of week three I was able to specify locations using coordinate geometry, describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry and use symmetry to analyze mathematical situations. In week four we covered Identify the relevant attributes of objects when solving problems as well as applying appropriate techniques, tools, and formulas to determine measurements. In week five we synthesize the mathematics concepts addressed in this course. As a team we worked on a power point dealing with a three dimensional shape and we discussed the surface, faces, sides, volume as well as…

    Development of children’s perception of geometric content is related with environment where early age children are brought up and gain everlasting and informal knowledge. It is important to combine the knowledge with real life situations. This can be done by solving applied mathematical problems developing pupil’s independence, activity and creativity from lowest grades of elementary school. By solving applied mathematical problems pupils should be able to verbalize problems, find missing information to solve problems, make relations and be able to formulate and interpret results. When developing tasks, we focused on increasing pupils’ motivation to problem solving. We were inspired by beautiful gardens and parks as a rich source of geometrical objects. Solving the tasks, pupils also develop spatial imagination and apply already acquired knowledge on geometry. For task development pictures and photographs of modern and historical gardens and parks are inevitable. The tasks are divided according to used context: x x x x geometrical shapes in parks and gardens, symmetry in parks and gardens, mazes in parks and gardens, measure in parks and gardens.…
