MYP Geometry

UPDATE: Attached BELOW is the note guide for the next MYP Unit (unit 5). Since school is closed right before we review and test, please keep up on Area, Surface Area, and Volume of solids. These are found in chapters 10 and 11 in your textbooks. Unit 5 covers 8-3, 8-4, 8-5, 10-5, and 10-8.

*If you need your textbook, Mrs. Olson plans on being at RHS from 9:30 to 10:30 Monday so her doors are open to retrieve those items.

What is the MYP Programme?

Why group scores into 0, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8 instead of ONLY relying on 0-100%?

See the following presentation over flaws with 0-100% grading (starting at slide 12): https://www.ibo.org/contentassets/ef4f3c159e21444a9727ef9b7555681c/saturday-11-15am---grading-and-reporting-in-the-ib---kelly-sirginnis.pdf

Rick Wormeli is a great teacher who uploads quick YouTube videos explaining key concepts of good teaching. These may not be in every classroom and are not IB specific, but they help frame the philosophy of why behind IB and why we are changing some things at RHS.

• Standards Based Grading (Similar but not the exact same as IB scoring): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4QVcghKsGY
• Formative Assessment (Ex: homework, progress checks) and Summative Assessment (Ex: quizzes and tests over multiple concpets): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4QVcghKsGY
• Redos and Retakes: (part 1 - 9 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM-3PFfIfvI (part 2 - 9 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgxvzEc0rvs
• Homework (and how it makes a grade biased): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMJ-vEl4WB8
