Probability Contract: Chapter 11 - FCPS



Teacher Resource Page

Algebra I Learning Contract:

Term 1- “Data Analysis” Unit

Based On: Glencoe Mathematics: Algebra 1

Essential Curriculum Indicators

MA.ALG.15.10 Use the measures of central tendency and variability (mean, median, mode,

range, interquartile range, quartile) to make informed conclusions

MA.ALG.20.05 Make informed decisions and predictions based upon the result of simulations

and data from research

MA.ALG.20.10 Make predictions by finding and using a line of best fit and by using a given

curve of best fit

MA.ALG.20.15 Communicate the use and misuse of statistics

Teacher Directions for Implementing Learning Contract

1) Pre-assess students on indicators for the “Data Analysis” Unit.

2) Identify and document students who have demonstrated “mastery” on each indicator/section. Recommendation: Mastery = 85%.

3) Copy and prepare a contract for each compacted student. On learning activities chart, indicate section(s) where the student has demonstrated mastery. Reminder: Compacted students will be excused from large group instruction for these sections. During this time, students will complete the alternative learning activities as indicated in the chart.

4) Based on the areas of student mastery, prepare copies of enrichment materials from the Glencoe teacher resource kits.

5) Since compacted students have demonstrated mastery on specific indicators, they should be excused from the class work and homework related to teacher-directed instruction on those indicators. Instead, grades for compacted students should be based on the alternative learning activities.

Management Tips

• Store worksheets and/or stapled packets in labeled folders for each section.

• Copy on cardstock and/or laminate the worksheets that may be reused.

• The Science and Math Labs require the preparation of materials and workspace. Consider recruiting a resource teacher, mentor or other responsible volunteer to work with compacted students for these investigations.
