HSPA Math 10
HSPA Prep 10 is a full-year course designed for 10th grade non-college prep students who are non-proficient on the district's standardized test and/or below a C average in AG 1as ninth graders and are in need of a basic understanding of fundamental mathematical ideas and their applications to support development of their skills for the 11th grade High School Proficiency Assessment.
The course utilizes a problem solving process to successfully move from the concrete to the abstract representation of the problem through the use of a variety of techniques.
Proficiencies included in the course are designed to enable students to be successful problem solvers in the areas of numerical operations, measurement, geometry, data analysis, probability, patterns, functions, and fundamentals of algebra.
Minimal proficiencies which must be mastered for the student to receive 5 credits for this course are:
- Students will be able to apply computation and estimation skills to problem-solving approaches and strategies within and outside mathematics.
- Students will be able to use problem solving strategies to analyze and solve real-world, mathematical problems through the selection and application of appropriate tools.
- Students will be able to apply numerical relationships and number theory concepts in real-world and mathematical problem situations.
- Students will be able to understand and apply geometric properties/relationships and the process of measurement by using physical models, two and three dimensional figures, real -world objects, and/or computer simulations.
- Students will be able to use patterns and functions to represent and solve problems.
- Students will be able to collect, represent, and interpret data in order to state and evaluate arguments that are based on data analysis, and to understand the role probability plays in interpreting such arguments.
- Students will be able to use and apply algebraic principles to solve, graph and represent expressions, equations, and inequalities algebraically and geometrically.
- Students will e able to apply the concepts and methods of discrete mathematics to model and explore a variety of practical situations.
