Level One Tasks
Level one tasks are basic building
blocks for students. These include
but are not limited to percentages,
graph interpretation, and specific vocabulary and concepts relevant to
increasing their comfort level with math and statistics.
Level one tasks will enable students
to:
a) Demonstrate knowledge of mathematical terminology and apply this in related human services material.
b)
Demonstrate quantitative reasoning via the ability to interpret data and
graphs relevant to the field of human services.
c)
Verbally articulate an understanding of the meaning of graphs and other
mathematic representations vital to their understanding of research and
probability.
d) Participate in
group and tasks cooperatively
e) Demonstrate ability to create
graphs according to rubric discussed in class.
During
the Introduction to Chemical Dependency course, students are provided tremendous
amounts of research and data that they can not read well, and rarely understand.
There are basic concepts that they may have forgotten that could be
illuminated in class activities that express the concepts in a more graphic or
tactile way.
A
mathematical-bio is collected the first day of class, so that the instructor has
a base line for reviewing any changes in how each student perceives and reacts
to the concepts and skills involved in mathematical calculations and
interpretation.
