Required Reading:
 
Suggested Reading:
 
Critical Thinking:
Critical thinking skills should be emphasized in all classroom work. Students must support their answers with explanations of how they obtained them. Moreover, students must analyze authentic (realistic) problem situations that involve key concepts of Math 10, requiring the selection of appropriate techniques to obtain solutions and estimates to determine the reasonableness of solutions.
 
Required Writing:
Arithmetic problem-solving exercises (including detailed explanations of how solutions are obtained) are more appropriate.
 
Outside Assignments:
Students are expected to spend a minimum of three hours per unit per week in class and on outside assignments, prorated for short-term classes.

Outside assignments include completing homework assignments, reading the text, studying lecture notes and studying for tests.
 
Methods of Assessment:
Methods of Assessment may include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Class Participation
  • Class Work
  • Group Projects
  • Journals
  • Oral Presentation
  • Portfolios
  • Projects
 
Open Entry/Open Exit:
No, course is not offered as open entry/open exit.
