Course Objectives Summative Assessment Details

Task

1. Construct and present proofs using the End-of-Chapter Type Students are given numerical practice problems to solve, in
variety of proof techniques. Problems order, after class. These numerical problems are over-simplified
real-life problems calling for direct substitution of values into
formulae.
2. Apply different theories in solving Students have access to references, but not assistance from
mathematical problems. Take-Home Exam others. They are expected to complete the exam within a given
time limit.
3. Observe patterns, test hypotheses and Students will go to multiple boards around the room to
develop arguments on properties of the Chalk Talk brainstorm answers to a prompt/assignment, but disallow all
system of integers. talking.

4. Connect the different types of numbers

Final Examination These are given to students to evaluate the students’
knowledge and understanding about the lessons. These are
given to validate the results of their drills and practical activities.
