The document investigates the number of 5-pointed stars that can be formed using different numbers of points. It finds that 1 star can be formed with 5 points, 2 stars with 10 points, 3 stars with 15 points, and so on, following a linear pattern. It then presents instructions for drawing a 5-pointed star by starting at a point and alternating between the next two points until returning to the first point.

Math investigation (bounces)
This document summarizes an investigation into the path and number of bounces of a ball on a rectangular pool table represented by a dot grid. The investigation explored relationships between the number of dots in columns and rows and the resulting number of bounces and corner where the ball drops off. Several conjectures were proposed and tested, with some found to be true and others false. Key findings included formulas for determining the number of bounces based on the column and row sizes.
Assessment in mathematics
Mathematics assessment in junior high school should focus on assessing student mastery of key standards through formative assessment. Formative assessment provides feedback to students to help them improve, and guides teacher instruction, rather than just checking learning. It is important to clearly communicate learning targets to students and use multiple, ongoing measures to evaluate student understanding over time.
Math Investigation: Pythagorean Theorem
The document illustrates the Pythagorean theorem visually by showing how a larger square can be divided into four triangular regions and a smaller square that together make up the area of the largest square. It provides instructions for readers to cut out and arrange the regions themselves to see how the Pythagorean theorem works. It then suggests two investigations: drawing a right triangle with squares on the sides and showing how the regions cover the hypotenuse; and considering if the same is true if the smaller square is subdivided instead.
Logarithm Bases IA
The document explores logarithm bases and patterns in logarithmic sequences. It finds that the value of logmn(mk) can be expressed as kn. It also determines that if loga(x)=c and logb(x)=d, then logab(x) can be calculated as cdc+d, allowing the third term in sequences to be determined.
Math Profile Assessment Tool
This presentation shows how a Profile Assessment Tool can be used in math to provide a teacher with achievement as well as diagnostic information about each student's math skills.
Math investigation using metacognition
Here are two word problems with different levels of difficulty and how I would use metacognition to teach them:
Level 1 (Compare, compared quantity unknown):
- Mary has some apples. Joseph has 8 more apples than Mary. How many apples does Joseph have?
- I would have students identify the known (Mary has some apples) and unknown (how many apples Joseph has) quantities (Declarative Knowledge). Then have them derive the equation to represent the problem (Procedural Knowledge) and solve for the unknown. Finally, have them check their work (Monitoring).
Level 2 (Change, starting set and results set unknown):
- Sam originally had some oranges. He gave 4 oranges to Joseph. Now
Math investigation (STARS)
Each of the six equally spaced points on this circle has
been joined to a point that is two points away from
it in a clockwise direction. The result can be called
a [6,2] figure.
Equally spaced points on a circle can be joined by chords in various ways.
Assessment for Learning in an Elementary Math Classroom presentation
This document outlines the objectives and content of a workshop on assessment for learning in mathematics. The workshop will discuss what assessment for learning is and research in the area. It will explore assessment tasks, rubrics, and record keeping. Presentation materials will cover assessment strategies including setting learning targets, examples of strong/weak work, descriptive feedback, self-assessment, focusing on one quality at a time, revision, and self-reflection. The overall goal is for learners to implement a new assessment strategy in their math class within 4 weeks.

Math Investigation "Be There or Be Square"
This document summarizes a math investigation conducted by four students. They used the RUCSAC method to solve the problem, which involved reading the question, understanding it, choosing a method (thinking), solving it by looking at the question and thinking, and answering it by taking the odd factors out of the provided numbers. They checked each other's work and listed the odd factors from 1 to 25 as the answer.
Math IA
The document summarizes a student's IB Mathematical Studies Internal Assessment project investigating whether shoe size correlates with forearm length. Data on shoe size and forearm length was collected from 50 students and analyzed using statistical tests. A strong positive correlation of 0.9976 was found between increasing shoe size and forearm length. While sizes were not exactly equal, the difference was found to not be statistically significant, supporting the hypothesis that shoe size correlates with forearm length.
Ib math studies internal assessment final draft
The document analyzes the relationship between SAT scores and family income of test takers worldwide based on data from the College Board in 2007. The author conducts a mathematical investigation including generating scatter plots, calculating the least squares regression line and correlation coefficient, and performing a chi-squared test. The results show a strong positive linear correlation between SAT scores and family income, indicating family income has a significant impact on SAT scores. However, the study has limitations as it only includes those who reported income and may not capture all SAT test takers.
Assessment tools
This document discusses different types of teacher-made assessment tools, including objective and essay tests. It provides details on various types of objective tests such as simple recall tests, completion tests, true-false tests, and constant alternative tests. Guidelines are provided for constructing different types of objective test items, with examples given for each type. The objective tests are designed to test factual knowledge through short answers that can be quickly scored.
Graphic organizers
Graphic/advance organizers are visual tools that help organize information to facilitate learning. They appeal to multiple learning styles and can provoke more interest than text alone. Research shows that graphic organizers are effective when used appropriately at different stages of instruction across subject areas. Key factors in their effectiveness include grade level, instructional context, ease of use, and point of implementation in the learning process. When used correctly, graphic organizers provide benefits to both students and teachers in organizing and assessing understanding of concepts.

- 2. 5-p0inted st By: Nancy B. Madarang
- 3. How many 5 pointed stars can you form in 5 points? 10 points? 15 points? 20 points? 25 points? 30 points? N points? Investigate.
- 12. 5points = 1 pc 5pointed star
- 14. 10 points = 2pcs of 5 pointed star
- 16. 15 points = 3pcs of 5 pointed star
- 18. 20 points = 4pcs of 5 pointed star
- 20. 25 points = 5pcs of 5 pointed star
- 22. 30 points = 6pcs of 5 pointed star
- 23. Number of points number of 5 pointed stars 5 1 10 2 15 3 20 4 25 5 30 6 . . . .
- 24. Conjecture:
- 26. To draw a 5-pointed star pay attention to the following steps: 1. Choose any starting point. 3. For the next point follow step # 2. Until you form a 5-pointed star. Note: any point should have only two segments to connect.
