Unit One : : Exponents, radicals Irrational numbers and scientific notations
Key Concept: Form Related concept: Quantity ,representation Global context: Scientific and technical innovation ( How humans use their understanding of scientific Principles) Inquiry statement: quantities in our life can be represented in different forms Factual Conceptual Knowledge Procedural knowledge Knowledge Exponent Quantities are represented on the Recognizing and classifying numbers in different number systems, Expression number line to help in calculations. including recurring decimals , Integer , Exponents are useful for Converting repeating decimals into their fraction equivalent using Irrational representing very large or very small patterns or algebraic reasoning Radical , numbers. Using rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the Rational , Square roots can be rational or size of irrational numbers Scientific irrational. Locating irrational numbers approximately on a number line notation , Some properties of real number hold diagram Estimate, for all irrational numbers. Estimating the value of expressions involving roots Cube root, Essential Questions Applying the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent Square root When are exponents used and why numerical expressions are they important? Simplifying numerical expressions What is the meaning of negative Using square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to exponents? equations of the form x2 = p and x = p, where p is a positive rational How do I simplify and evaluate number algebraic expressions involving Evaluating square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of integer exponents and square roots? small perfect cubes How are power, base, and exponent Using scientific notation to express very large or very small related to multiplication? numbers Why is it useful for me to know the Comparing and interpreting scientific notation quantities in the square root of a number? context of a situation Why is it useful for me to know how Performing operations with numbers expressed in scientific to express quantities in scientific notation notation? Solving real world problems MYP objectives Knowing and understanding - select and apply the appropriate exponents, radicals Irrational numbers and scientific notations when solving problems in both familiar and unfamiliar situations in a variety of contexts. Communicating: - use appropriate exponents, radicals Irrational numbers and scientific notations terminology and forms in both oral and written explanations - move between different forms of exponents, radicals Irrational numbers and scientific notations representation - communicate complete and coherent mathematical lines of reasoning and organize information using a logical structure. Applying mathematics in real-life contexts: (students are given the opportunity to investigate about the deal of gas between Jordan and Israel, applying and using the concept of exponents to find the answer , represent the situation using diagrams or tables . - identify relevant elements of authentic exponents, radicals Irrational numbers and scientific notations real-life problems - select and apply appropriate rational numbers strategies successfully when solving authentic real-life problems - explain the degree of accuracy of the rational numbers solution and explain whether a solution makes sense in exploring the importance of scientific notation and how it is used by scientists to compare and interpret quantities Assessment ATL IB learner profile * Students will explore the importance 1. SOCIAL SKILLS / Collaboration skills Thinkers of scientific notation and how it is used Manage and resolve conflict and work collaboratively in teams Inquirer by scientists to compare and interpret Exercise leadership and take on a variety of roles within groups Knowledgeable quantities (C, D) 2. Thinking skills / Critical thinking skills *End of unit test (A) Interpret data , Draw reasonable conclusions and generalizations
