What do students learn?

At Palmer, students from grade 8-12 learn these things, number operations, algebra, logic, measurement, geometric constructions, probability and statistics, as well as financial literacy. As the grade goes up, student will be opened into a new world of Mathematics.

​

In grade 8-9, students work on these topics, number operations, algebra, logic, measurement, geometric constructions, probability and statistics, and financial literacy. Students only get an introduction of these topics in grade 8-9. 

In grade 10-12, Students will be doing the same topics as stated up top but with more advanced calculations, there will be a few new additional topics, arithmetic sequences, linear functions, trigonometry, angle relationships, graph analysis, applications of statistics, scale models and combinatorics.

​

Grade 8-9 students will express there learning through various methods that demonstrate their understanding and skills, here are a few examples:

Written Assignments

• Essays and reports help students clearly share their ideas and understanding.

• Creative writing projects let students express themselves and think more deeply.

Presentations

• Oral presentations help students share information and interact with their classmates.

• Group projects help students work together and build good communication skills.

Visual Arts

• Artwork, posters, and infographics help students show ideas in a visual way.

• Digital media projects, like videos or slideshows, encourage creativity and build technical skills.

Class Discussions

• Participating in discussions lets students share ideas and respond to each other’s opinions.

Assessments

• Quizzes and tests check how well students remember and understand the material.

• Performance tasks, like experiments or simulations, give students hands-on learning experiences.

Reflection

• Journals or learning logs help students think about how they learn and what they have learned.

• Self-assessments help students check their own progress and plan their goals for the future.

 

Grade 10-12 students will express there learning through various methods that demonstrate their understanding and skills, here are a few examples:

Grade 10-12 students express their learning through various methods that demonstrate their understanding and skills.

 Written Work:
Essays, reports, and research papers help students explain their ideas and what they have learned.

 Presentations:
Speaking in front of the class and working in groups lets students share information and work with others.

 Creative Projects:
Art, music, and multimedia work give students other ways to show what they know

Tests and Quizzes:
These check how well students remember and understand the subject/information.

 Portfolios:
Collecting work over time helps students look back and see how they have improved.

 Formative Assessments:
These are ongoing checks, like quizzes or discussions, that help teachers see how well students understand during the lesson.

 Summative Assessments:
These are end-of-unit tests or final projects that check overall learning and skills.

 Digital Tools:
Students use tools like Google Classroom and educational apps to hand in work and work together online.

 Online Portfolios:
Digital portfolios make it easy for students to share their work and think about their learning.
