good evening love them to the mathematics portion of the open house here Staten Island Technical High School, sir Jamie a really young joined by Miss Heidi chew as well as soon as presenters Michael Cavalieri and siphon G here to answer any questions you may have for going to start with this short video that'll give you some of the basics and then we're going to open up the floor for a distant all questions so let's start with the tracks so there are tracks here there will be some crossover and I'll explain them as we go so the first track is no Regents crack nuts here that means that your student did not take the algebra Regents in 8th grade if that is the case they will coming in 9th grade and they will take algebra here at Tech after that they will follow the normal region sequence for New York state which will be geometry and Algebra 2 all of them and Regents examination if your student does not want to accelerate after algebra 2 meeting jump over pre-calc they will take pre-calc and that would be all so in this case at Tech we require the students to take four years of math should your student want to jump The Accelerated track at this point they will have the option of taking AP Calculus so there are two levels of AP calc there's a b and b c equivalent to about one semester of college BC is about to the other track that we have is the Region's track your student if so Free Fall by algebra two because they have a little bit more they have a few more options as to what they can do with their extra a year so in 11th grade they can jump to pre-calc followed by either senior calc which is calculus but it is not tied to an AP exam so students and Senior calc do get some idea of what to expect in calculus a lot of the sea material is covered but because it is not tied to an exam it's a little bit slower in the students do more Hands-On activities than they would do in AP calc where they are tied to an AP exam if they choose to take AP calc it is college level it is tired of the exam and they will have the choice of a b or BC they may also decide app Algebra 2 to jump to again and accelerated track which would put them in BC Calculus BC calculus is double. And it again covers two semesters of college calculus this would allow them then in 12th grade to take what it called multivariable calculus which is getting into what is called calc 3 in college do multivalued very calculus here is not any kind of AP course it's like a survey class just to give them an idea of what to expect so apab and VCR that will give them a potential college credit everything else will not so some of the stuff we do here is not just sitting in the classroom taking notes the old-fashioned way we like to get the kids actually involved and excited about they're doing so all of our teachers are very into incorporating project-based learning we have a Makerspace in on the first floor teachers bring students to actually create models of things that they're learning about you can see that in some of the pictures so just hear us ask her did a golf course with her students we also have the students doing stuff like going outside here there on the tennis courts creating real-life problems from there they were able to calculate equations and figure out sir aspects of their parabolas hear another problem project this one was a parabola selfie the student decided to be very much then found a travel in an interesting place and then did the accompanying math and up here you see some mandalas that was all done using compasses using geometry to create those beautiful pieces of art so incorporate things that will get the kids interested things that they themselves May relate to so that it's not all just sitting in the classroom and now I'm going to turn it over to our math team representatives are student representatives and they're going to tell us a little bit about math team and then we will answer questions after that
