Grade 12 Math
In Grade 12 Math class we focus on the development of concepts of calculus and on providing the students with experiences that allow them to use its methods and applications. We use a multi-representational approach to calculus with concepts, results and problems being expressed graphically, numerically, analytically and verbally. The major topics covered in this class are: limits, differentiation and integration. Rate of change and modelling are main focus of the course and through the use of the unifying themes of derivatives, integrals, limits, approximation, and applications and modeling, the course becomes a cohesive whole rather than a collection of unrelated topics. We use a variety of teaching methodologies such as hands-on modeling activities, technology and group work. Students’ performance in this class is evaluated using a variety of assessment methods such as quizzes, exams, homework, classwork, and performance tasks.
