Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Think-pair-share, Talk for Learning, Building on what others say. Learning Experience: Learners work in pairs to describe the shape of the graphs of a quadratic function and provide real life instances and uses. Activity 1: Shape of Quadratic functions Learners in pairs and recollect the shape of quadratic functions and state examples in real life objects or situations. Example - Kicking a ball upwards - Arc bridges - Satellite dishes Teaching and Learning Resources: - SHS Curriculum, Graph boards, mathematical set, ICT tools Assessment (3.2.1.AS.1). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 1 Recall.
