The Teacher's Resource Package

 

 

The INSPIRATION that shaped Complete MATH 9 came from knowing students who were struggling with math.  Many of these were lacking basic math skills.  Our workbook addresses the dilemma by presenting elementary math facts at a level the kids can understand.  The format is student friendly.   The Teacher’s Resource Package is a guide book through the Mathematics 9 course material presented in Complete MATH 9.

 

The author encourages students to accept the responsibility to learn.  Each concept is introduced simply and clearly.  Most concepts are represented graphically as well.  There are model questions and “tutor freebies” that help students to understand what is expected of them in answering questions. 

 

Material is presented one small step at a time, followed by practice exercises.  Complete MATH 9 is not like a traditional classroom text book.  It is reminiscent of primary school workbooks used in the 1950’s.  The presentation of material is not meant to be highly technical, but rather easily accessible using nothing more than their minds and a pencil.

 

When a student begins to read our book the student is immediately engaged.  Why?  Because she understands what she is reading and is able to answer the questions.  That’s encouraging! The student no longer feels like a failure in math. Now, he or she is ready to be responsible for learning the course material. 

 

 

COMPLETE MATH 9 will trigger a positive attitude toward math in your sad students.  

Those who overcome their troubles in math gain confidence in all subject areas.  

 

The Teacher's Resource Package is divided into 53 Lessons.  

Each lesson follows this outline:

The LESSON number, the Strand and topic NAME are stated at the top of each Lesson.

OBJECTIVE states the intent of the lesson.   

IN BRIEF previews the lesson material describing the essential points of the topic.   

There is a list of REQUIRED TOOLS AND SUPPLIES for the Activity and Project.

 QUICK DRILL is intended to increase numeracy.  Each Quick Drill is 10 questions at the beginning of the lesson.  The drill takes 5 to 10 minutes.  No calculators allowed!  Answers are in brackets to the right of each question.

  The ACTIVITY teaches and animates the lesson material.  Math can be fun!  The Activity provides the teacher with imaginative, interesting ways to illustrate the topic at hand.  All activities are mathematically correct.  They could assist a non-specialist in teaching this course and arouse the curiosity of the students.     

 The PROJECT provides ideas for additional group or individual activities to reinforce the lesson material.  The projects can be assessed for marks if the teacher so chooses. 

CLOSURE includes reminders for homework, studying for a test and keeping score sheets current. It also lets you know when there is a vocabulary sheet in the back for recent lessons.

 There are six SECTION TESTS.  Each test is 20 Multiple Choice Questions (1.5 marks each) and five Open-ended Questions worth 10 marks.  There is Test A and Test B for each section, Numbers, Algebra and Measurement.  The teacher may photocopy the tests.            

There is a complete ANSWER KEY for each test.  

There is an APPENDIX.  It includes a graph paper grid, Quick Drill Score Sheet, Questions Score Sheets and bits and pieces used in the Activities.
