Student Assessment in Math SL1
I will be using a variety of assessment strategies, whether it
be the regular tests, quizzes, and homework assignments, or other creative
manners through with can demonstrate your mastery of skills/concepts (i.e. model
building, producing videos/movies, teaching peers, etc ...) Your evaluation
throughout the course will be comprised of following components:
Major Assessments Major assessments are usually the summative tests that take place at the end of each major unit and evaluate students' understanding of a wide range of concepts learned over a period of several weeks. Furthermore, one paper is assigned each semester so that the students gain experience in mathematical investigation and modeling tasks. |

Minor Assessments Minor assessments usually take the form of quizzes and assignments that focus on a small number of concepts learned over the previous few classes. They allow the teacher the opportunity to provide valuable feedback to the students on the accuracy of their solutions and their comprehension of the material. |

Homework Homework tasks are designed to practice concepts learned in recent lessons. Since mistakes are considered to be an important part of the learning process, homework tasks are graded on completion and effort rather than the accuracy of the work. |

A cumulative final exam is given to assess mastery of all topics studied over the course of the semester. NOTE: As Grade 11 IB students, you don't have a Semester 1 Exam!!! |
