Course Code: MATH 21102 Subject: Basic Mathematics 2

Type of Course: ☑ Basic □Additional □Elective Course □Major Subject □Activities............... 3 Period/Week/Semester Credit: 1.5 Subject Teacher: Casey McMichael Mathayom: 1 Semester: 2 Academic Year: 2016 Course Description In this course students will study mathematics through investigation, discovery, understanding and applications of logical reasoning, polynomial manipulation, number forms and networks. Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers. Know that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them by rational numbers. Work with radicals and integer exponents. Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems. Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations. Understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations. Analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations. Draw, construct and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them. Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume. Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving volume of cylinders, cones and spheres. Goals/ Expected Learning Outcomes

- Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. - Reason abstractly and quantitatively. - Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. - Model with mathematics. - Use appropriate tools strategically. - Attend to precision. - Look for and make use of structure.

We'll work through some of the Units 1-2 (eight readings) during semester one and some of Units 3-4 (8 readings) during semester two. The goal is to maximize academic language proficiency. In addition there are compulsory teacher worksheets and activities to supplement the students’ learning.

1. Listening

a. Short extracts and mini-dialogues to introduce and practice new language. b. Words and sentences for close listening and to model pronunciation. c. Listen and read sections to further develop students’ confidence. d. Teacher prepared listening dictation on selected use of vocabulary.

2. Speaking

a. Tasks that provide a regular opportunity for extended and prepared speaking based around realistic topics and situations b. Practice of grammar through class exercises and activities c. Topics and reading texts in each unit provide opportunities for follow-up discussion d. Regular integrated work on pronunciation

3. Reading

a. Wide range of reading material in the Student Book, including factual/scientific texts, stories, quizzes, forms, notes and emails b. Extended texts which lead to grammar work and language analysis c. Texts which provide a model or stimulus for tasks and a model for writing activities. d. Reading strategies and development of critical reading and analysis.

4. Writing

a. Writing sections which focus on writing e-mails and letters, composing narratives and reviews, drafting and redrafting

Goals/ Expected Learning Outcomes The students will be able to read, understand, discuss, and write about the informational texts and classic and contemporary literature covered in class. Students will learn new academic vocabulary and demonstrate mastery of skills.

The English Program for Talented Students

Course Code: ENG20202 Subject: The English Language for Life Skill 2

Type of Course: □Basic ☑Additional □Elective Course □Major Subject □Activities............. 2 Period/Week/Semester Credit: 1.0 Subject Teacher: Kyle Dreher Matayom: 1 Semester: 2 Academic Year: 2016 Course Description

In this course students will study: M.1 Additional English is an introductory course in Critical Reading and Creative Writing. Although all

four skills will be developed, the focus of this course will be on reading and writing. For reading, students will be exposed to articles from a wide variety of sources including newspapers, the Internet, short stories, poetry, and children’s novels. Most will be authentic texts equivalent to those taught in Britain and North America. Each student will also be expected to read supplementary material by the end of the year.

For writing, students will be instructed in writing both factual and opinion compositions, as well as fiction and poetry. These will take the form of letters, articles for a newspaper or magazines, and narrative stories. Specific points to be covered will include paragraph writing (introductory, transitional and concluding sentences) and the use of a progressively expanded vocabulary.

Goals/ Expected Learning Outcomes

The students will be able to: To enable students to reach native speaker reading and writing ability To consolidate the grammar taught in the Core Course (Eng. 21101) To develop the students’ ability to write cohesive sentence structures To enhance the students’ critical thinking abilities To increase students’ abilities to guess new words from their context, and use newly acquired vocabulary in their writing Teaching Schedule / Contents/ Learning Activities
