This course plan is always being revised. The activities are grouped in cycles. At the end of each cycle is a one or two day evaluation. By the end of the course, each of the main ideas and strands in the course will have been studied and evaluated at least twice before the summative period.
The activities listed below vary in type and length. Some require students to work at their desks with manipulatives while others are done at the whiteboard. Any activities which seem worksheet driven are actually done at the whiteboards. At the end of most classes students have 10 minutes to journal. The daily work is posted on a class blog or padlet. The textbook used is Nelson Advanced Functions, 2009.
The table below shows our course plan with links to all of the activities and whiteboard lessons we have used over the past few years. We have referenced ones which we borrowed from open sites. The order in which we present the course changes all the time. Go to https://sites.google.com/a/ocdsb.ca/mhf4u-master-site/home for a more polished version (site will be online as of OAME 2016)
Examples of student work for many of the activities can be found at http://mhf4uoverwijk.blogspot.ca/
It is a work in progress and we welcome your feedback and ideas at janice.bernstein@ocdsb.ca
