Long-Range Plan – Math 10C Fall 2023

Duration: 4 Months

Rationale
This long-range plan was developed with guidance from my Teacher Mentor and made to be
consistent with the way this course is run throughout the LCI math department. The Math 10
Common curricular outcomes were split into 7 units, each having a few quizzes and ending with
a unit exam. These quizzes are graded and initially summative assessments but may become
formative if the student does better on the unit exam. There is a formal assessment happening
every few days to give students consistent and frequent feedback and opportunities to improve
in the areas where they may have been struggling. As well, at the end of each unit there are
two class periods set aside for review. This means in these classes we can go over the quizzes,
what was covered in the unit, and the expectations for the exam. In case of changes in the
schedule these periods set aside at the end allow for wiggle room if needed so we can continue
mostly on track.

The units were sequenced so that the first unit is trigonometry. This is because it is not too
difficult a unit algebraically, it has many visual applications, and is a consistent topic between all
three of the math streams. If a student is struggling with this unit, since it is also a unit in 10-3,
it might be a good idea to consider moving into that stream for math. After that we move into
units covering exponents, radicals, and polynomials. After that is the heart of Math 10C, linear
algebra relating to functions, graphs, equations, and systems of equations. The final unit is
measurement, which is the one unit that is not built upon in future -1 or -2 classes but has
many obvious real-world applications.

Students will be given practice questions after each lesson and opportunity to work on them in
class with the guidance of the teacher. These questions are not checked or marked, and it is the
student’s responsibility to complete them for practice. Math is a subject that requires
repetition for mastery, so students are assigned a set of questions for practice and are given
time in class and access to the teacher so they can get in the practice and help they may need.
