Mathematics
Patterns and Practicalities (Revised Edition) is a series of four books. These books follow the 2010 Secondary Education Curriculum for Mathematics implementation by the Department of Education. This edition of Patterns and Practicalities retains the well-liked design and approach of the original series, but has been revised to achieve the following:
- Follows the scope and sequence of topics in the 2010 mathematics curriculum;
- Includes more activities, worksheets for fun, web links, quizbee items, and performance tasks and rubrics to give students better appreciation and understanding of the content; and
- Provides the teachers more guidance in teaching mathematics within the framework of Understanding by Design (UbD).
The book series is designed to guide you to a successful and insightful exploration of algebra and its applications. It fl ows from a rethink of what algebra is that algebra is not about “letters and numbers but about fi nding patterns and relationships.
The lessons in this mathematics series are characterized by the following features:
- What Youll Learn Goals
- Connect Contextualization
- Explore Real-life situations
- Hands-on Activities Group-work
- Think About This From another perspective
- Try This Deepening
- Historical Trivia Relevant background materials
- Speaking Mathematically Familiarization with mathematical symbols and notations
- Calculator Activities Aids in using scientifi c calculators
- Reflect Personal evaluation of goals
- Exercises Activities involving comprehension check, communicating, problem-solving, and mathematical reasoning
