Exploring the Pythagorean Relationship
The document explores the Pythagorean relationship through an activity with cut-out squares that form three triangles. Students are asked to measure the sides and angles of the triangles, record the data in a table, and identify which triangles are right triangles based on having a 90 degree angle. For right triangles, students state the relationship between the areas of the squares and describe the relationship between the side lengths as being the Pythagorean relationship, where the area of the hypotenuse square equals the sum of the areas of the other two squares.

The document contains a list of mathematical statements about numbers, patterns and relations, shape and space, and statistics and probability. Some key statements include: when you add three consecutive numbers, your answer is a multiple of three; when you divide a whole number by a fraction, the quotient is greater than the whole number; a whole number has an odd number of factors if it is a perfect square; if the sides of a right triangle are given, the third side can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem; when you multiply two integers, the product is greater than either integer; if the price of an item is decreased by 25% and later increased by 25%, the final price will be the same as the original; the ratio
Quadratic patterns
This document discusses quadratic patterns using color tiles. Students build patterns with tiles and notice relationships between the figure number and number of tiles. They organize this into a table and write equations to represent the patterns. The key ideas are that patterns can be represented in multiple ways visually, numerically, and algebraically, and that equivalent expressions can describe the same pattern relationship.
Lesson 54
The document provides guidelines for graphing polynomial and rational functions. It discusses the key features of graphs of quadratic, cubic, quartic and quintic polynomials. It then discusses how to graph rational functions by identifying intercepts, asymptotes, discontinuities and using sign analysis to determine the positive and negative portions of the graph. An example rational function is graphed as an illustration.
Lesson 52
The inverse of a function is obtained by reflecting the graph of the original function over the line y=x. The inverse of a function f(x) is written as f^-1(x). For a function to have an inverse, it must be one-to-one, meaning each x-value only corresponds to a single y-value. To check if a function is one-to-one, apply the horizontal line test - if no horizontal line intersects the graph at more than one point, it is one-to-one and will have an inverse function.
Application of differentiation
This presentation explains how the differentiation is applied to identify increasing and decreasing functions,identifying the nature of stationary points and also finding maximum or minimum values.

Maximum and minimum
This document discusses using quadratic functions to find the minimum and maximum values without using much algebra. It shows that for the basic quadratic function y=x^2, the minimum value is found at x=0 and the minimum value is y=0. Adding a negative sign in front of x^2 inverts the graph, and the maximum value is found at x=0. Adding a constant inside the quadratic function slides the graph along the x-axis in the opposite direction of the constant.

This document contains the solutions to odd-numbered exercises from Chapter P of a calculus textbook. It provides answers and work for 43 problems involving graphing functions, finding intercepts, determining symmetries, and other skills related to functions and their graphs. The problems progress from simple linear functions to more complex expressions involving square roots, cubes, and other operations.Radical functions
1) A radical function is of the form y = f(x) = ax + b, where changing a and b affects the graph.
2) Graphing shows that if a > 0 the graph increases, if a < 0 the graph decreases, larger a makes the graph steeper, and closer to 0 makes the graph flatter.
3) The value of b is the y-intercept, and the domain is all x ≥ 0 while the range is all y above or below b depending on if the graph increases or decreases.

Making and Justifying Mathematical Decisions.pdf
In BC’s nearly-decade-old “new” curriculum, the curricular competencies describe the processes that students are expected to develop in areas of learning such as mathematics. They reflect the “Do” in the “Know-Do-Understand” model. Under the “Communicating” header falls the curricular competency “Explain and justify mathematical ideas and decisions.” Note that it contains two processes: “Explain mathematical ideas” and “Justify mathematical decisions.” I have broken it down into its separate parts in order to understand--or reveal--its meaning.
The first part is commonplace in classrooms. By now, BC math teachers—and students—understand that “Explain mathematical ideas” means more than “Show your work.” Teachers consistently ask “What did you do?” and “How do you know?” This process is about retelling, not just of steps but of thinking.
The second part happens less frequently. Think back to the last time that you observed a student make—a necessary precursor to justify—a mathematical decision. “Justify” is about defending. Like “explain,” it involves reasoning; unlike “explain,” it also involves opinion and debate.
In order to reinterpret the curricular competency “Explain and justify mathematical ideas and decisions,” I will continue to take apart its constituent part “Justify mathematical decisions” and carefully examine the term “mathematical decisions.” What, exactly, is a “mathematical decision”? Below, I will categorize answers to this question. These categories, and the provided examples, may help to suggest new opportunities for students to justify.

Multiplication -- More Than Repeated Addition and Times Tables.pdf
Multiplication is repeated addition... but it also means so much more than that! In this workshop, you will explore several fundamental meanings of this operation (e.g., equal groups, arrays and areas, how a quantity is “stretched,” etc.) through rich tasks that address each of these meanings. Also, you will explore and discuss relationships between the “basic facts.” More importantly, you will learn how to help your students see that these relationships extend to other types of numbers that they come across in BC’s intermediate and middle years mathematics curriculum (e.g., two-digit whole numbers, fractions, decimals, integers, etc.).

The document discusses creating an inclusive community for all learners in mathematics. It emphasizes three key aspects of establishing belonging in math classrooms: interpersonal supports, curriculum, and instructional techniques. Specifically, it states that while interpersonal relationships are important, teachers must also design instructional approaches and choose tasks that provide opportunities for students to experience mathematical belonging. These include using problems that students can relate to their own lives, lowering barriers to entry, allowing multiple solution pathways, and not restricting students' thinking. The goal is for all learners to feel like accepted members of the classroom community and to have opportunities to successfully engage with meaningful mathematics.

The document discusses standards-based assessment and answers common questions about the transition from traditional grading to standards-based assessment. Some key points include:
- Standards-based assessment focuses on demonstrating evidence of learning standards rather than accumulating points, and compares student learning to proficiency levels rather than other students.
- The reasons for changing include making assessment more accurate, fair, and relevant to learning, and shifting student focus from grades to learning.
- Assessment should evaluate specific delineated learning standards rather than broad topics. Descriptors define each level of the proficiency scale from emerging to extending.
- Evidence of learning can come from products, observations, and conversations, rather than single events like tests. Tracking data over

"They'll Need It for High School"
Timed tests cause early onset of math anxiety in students according to research. Studies have shown that students experience stress on timed math tests that they do not experience on untimed tests of the same material. Even young students in 1st and 2nd grade can experience math anxiety, and their levels do not correlate with factors like grade level, reading ability, or family income. Brain imaging has revealed that students who feel panicky about math show increased activity in areas associated with fear and decreased activity in areas involved in problem solving. Timed tests require retrieving math facts from working memory, and higher math anxiety reduces the available working memory. While timed tests are used with good intentions, the evidence suggests they should be reconsidered given the widespread issues
Opening Up Math Class
The document discusses opening up math class through asking open-ended questions. It provides strategies for creating open questions, such as turning questions around, asking for similarities and differences, replacing numbers with blanks, and asking for number sentences. Open questions allow for multiple approaches and solutions. Examples show how questions can go from closed to more open, providing more freedom in problem solving.

The document encourages educators to join the MTBoS to access instructional routines, rich tasks, and testimonials about the benefits of participation. It provides hashtags to explore and discusses norms for respectful participation.
Operations Across the Grades
The document discusses operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) across different grade levels and domains. It provides examples of how the same operations can be applied conceptually and procedurally in different contexts, such as algebra, measurement, and word problems. The key point is that while the operations may look different depending on the context, the fundamental meanings remain the same.
Proportional Reasoning: Focus on Sense-Making
The document discusses proportional reasoning and focuses on sense-making. It emphasizes using multiple strategies to solve problems and communicating explanations in various ways. Proportional reasoning involves understanding multiplicative relationships, such as ratios, rates, proportions, unit prices, and percents. Representing problems with bar models and ratio tables can help make sense of these relationships.
