Overview

• A.G.O.S is a mathematics curriculum that covers four main topics: Operations, Algebra, Statistics and Geometry over a period of one year ( three terms).
• A.G.O.S focuses on having a student centered class by engaging them in order to develop a positive sense of numbers and see themselves as mathematically competent.
• Students will be able to make logical decisions based on mathematical principles while ensuring quality and consistency, they will be able to use mathematics to make sense of the world.
• This curriculum allows students to apply their knowledge into local and global topics as they develop their own conceptual understanding.

Introduction

Statistics

Algebra

Geometry

Operations

Analyzing, describing, and inferring conclusions based on quantitative data is mentioned in this branch of applied mathematics

A mathematical study of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids, as well as their properties and relationships.

Mathematical operations carried out on different types of numbers (whole, integers, and rational numbers)

Numbers and quantities are represented in formulas and equations by letters and other symbols.

Mission Statement

• The proposed curriculum will result in:

• Enhanced educational attainment
• Students being equipped with the necessary tools needed to navigate real life and the labour market.
• Increased spirit of entrepreneurship
• Ensuring high levels of national participation in the private sector workforce.

• The Ministry of Education is committed to developing a knowledge based educational system that is designed for being:

• Globally competitive.
• Inclusive for all age groups.
• Meeting labour market demands.
• Placing the country among the top countries in the world in income per capita.

Educational Objectives (1-2)

Values and attitudes

Objectives

By the end of this academic year: Students will be able to:

• Compute and perform arithmetic operations with whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers.
• Create expressions and construct linear equations / inequalities in different life situations.
• Explore and classify geometric figures in two dimensions and relate area and perimeter to real – world problems.
• Integrate statistical understanding to analyze mathematical data in statistical figures.

1. Make sense of real-life problems.
2. Acquire general knowledge about mathematical operations.
3. Improve daily decision-making skills.
4. Enhance leadership skills
5. Boost critical thinking
6. Merge in group work.

Teaching Methodology

Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think, (Albert Einstein)

Assessment

Student progress can be monitored and improved through continuous and meaningful assessments and checkpoints in the AGOS curriculum.

Why AGOS?

Reflection

All curriculums aim to enhance and improve students' skills, and learning modes. They achieve the same goals and outcomes at the end, but they do so in different ways, using different approaches, teaching methods, etc.

• We learned to take students' perceptions into consideration in curriculum design, lesson plans, and teaching methods. Putting ourselves in students' shoes and thinking like them helped us to understand different students' learning styles, needs, and preferences. We learned different teaching methodologies that can be applied in a student centered class preparing a well-developed generation with all the 21st century skills.

To create a successful curriculum, we needed to make sure of the consistency of learning and teaching across each element of our design. Our design process focused on building students' new skills based on prior knowledge, and on acquiring the new skills through practical application and not just theory to guarantee vertical alignment.

• Main challenge our group members faced was a lack of teaching experience and subject knowledge. During the design process of curriculum, experience plays a crucial role in connecting what is studied in lectures and what is experienced in the real world. They are mutually supportive as Immanuel Kant said: "Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play."
