1. Course outline

– Use the following table to organize the topics to be taught in the course. If you need to include topics that cover other requirements you have to teach (for

example, national syllabus), make sure that you do so in an integrated way, but also differentiate them using italics. Add as many rows as you need.

– This document should not be a day-by-day accounting of each unit. It is an outline showing how you will distribute the topics and the time to ensure that students are prepared to comply with the requirements of the subject.

– This outline should show how you will develop the teaching of the subject. It should reflect the individual nature of the course in your classroom and should not just be a “copy and paste” from the subject guide.

– If you will teach both higher and standard level, make sure that this is clearly identified in your outline.

Over the two year span of this course, the project will be moderated by the teacher using IB criterions. The criterion for the project ;

• Introduction,

• Information / Measurement,

• Mathematical Processes,

• Interpretation of result,

• Validity

• Structure and communication,

• Notation and terminology Will be integrated throughout the two years. At each criterion phase, the teacher will use the allotted time from the timeline to review for high quality work being submitted and will be provide high quality feed with next steps. Students will be introduced to the internal assessment in May in which they will be introduced to the cretarion, academic honesty, look at sample projects and choose a topic. In may, students will be given time to do research and work on their project. Students will have time to work on and turn in a first draft of their Internal Assessment in year 1. In year 2, Students will be reintroduced to the Internal Assessment and criterion. At this time students will be allowed to change or expand on their first draft of their Internal Assessment from year 1. The teacher will conduct a final consultation on completion of next steps previously provided. The expectation for submittal will be based on the high quality work. Research time will be given during January and February. The final report will be due late February.

You are expected to explore links between the topics of your subject and TOK. As an example of how you would do this, choose one topic from your course outline that would allow your students to make links with TOK. Describe how you would plan the lesson.

Topic Link with TOK (including description of lesson plan)

Proof by mathematical induction.

The basic methods of proof are introduced: deduction and induction. Let’s find their differences, area, and reliability. Nature of mathematics It is sometimes said that mathematical reasoning is a process of logical deduction. If this is true, and If the conclusion of a proof must always be implied by (contained in) its premises, how can there ever be new mathematical knowledge? What mathematicians mean mathematical proof, and how it differs from the good reasons in other areas of knowledge? • What is the role of empirical evidence and inductive reasoning to establish the mathematical requirements? •Are all mathematical statements true or false? •May the mathematical statement be true before it was shown? Mathematics and the knower Are there any aspects of mathematics which one can choose, whether believe or not believe? How do we choose the axioms which are the ground of mathematics? Is this an act of faith? Do the terms “beauty” or “elegance” have/play a role in mathematical thought? Which method of proof is the method of mathematical induction? Why?

4. Approaches to learning

Every IB course should contribute to the development of students’ approaches to learning skills. As an example of how you would do this, choose one topic from your outline that would allow your students to specifically develop one or more of these skill categories (thinking, communication, social, self-management or research).

Topic Contribution to the development of students’ approaches to learning skills (including one or more skill category)

The sum of infinite geometric series

We will particularly study geometric sequences and series since these are the subject of most bank contracts (investments, loans, mortgages). Students will chose an amout of money at an reasonable interest rate and investigate how much interest they can earn yearly, half-yearly, quarterly or monthly. They will also calculate real value of an investment with an interest rate and an inflation rate.

5. International mindedness

Every IB course should contribute to the development of international-mindedness in students. As an example of how you would do this, choose one topic from your outline that would allow your students to analyse it from different cultural perspectives. Briefly explain the reason for your choice and what resources you will use to achieve this goal.

Topic Contribution to the development of international mindedness (including resources you will use)

World Problem Solving problems on the topics of ecology, for example, to calculate the amount of paper consumed in the production of math textbooks for our class, the number of timber and forest area. What methods of reforestation do you know? Calculate the time period needed to restore the destroyed forest area.

Topic Contribution to the development of the attribute(s) of the IB learner profile

method mathematical induction

One of the main tasks of the school course mathematics studying is forming an idea/a notion of mathematics as a science, learning its methods. The inductive conclusions are of great importance in experimental sciences. Mathematics often demands an evidence of formulated suppositions. The method of mathematical induction is a universal, often the only instrument of demonstration for the arithmetic of natural numbers. Mathematical creation develops students as knowledgeable, inquirers and thinkers. Studying this topic these attributes of the IB learner profile will be developed. During the lessons the history and premises of the development of this method, its advantages and disadvantages will be presented. The foundations for mathematical research are the deductive and the inductive methods. The deductive method of reasoning is following from general to individual , it means the reasoning which starts with general result, and ends with an individual result . The induction is used during transition from individual results to general result, e.g. it’s a method, contrary to the deductive method . Students analyze the evidence of studied theorems, correlate to the methods of evidence, study the method in itself. They do the specially chosen tasks, then they try to investigate: why some of the statements, which were proved with the method of mathematical induction, are false? What is the reason? In which case can the method of mathematical induction be used or can’t be used?
