Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
This will be a basic fundamental Calculus course that will introduce students to differentiation techniques necessary for pursuing the following programs: 
1) AB Calculus
2) Calculus 1
3) Advanced Level Mathematics
4) Additional Mathematics 
5) IB Mathematics


Topics include:
1) Differentiation from First Principles or definition of Derivatives
2) Basic differentiation rules for algebraic functions. (Part 1)
3) Basic differentiation rules-Product and Quotient Rule for algebraic functions-(Part 2)
4) Differentiation of Trigonometrical Functions
5) Differentiation of Inverse Trigonometrical Functions
6) Differentiation Using Chain Rule
7) Differentiation of Logarithm and Exponential Functions
Each lesson will be facilitated with the use of several instructional aids that include but not limited to:

1) Problem Attic-This will be used to formulate all question for all tests and quizzes-This is a test bank with over 280,000 high-quality questions from NY Regents and other states’ released tests, curriculum guides, academic competitions, SBAC, PARCC, NAEP, TIMSS, PISA, and more.  All subjects, all grades, all in one place.  Also, Problem-Attic will be used for differentiated instruction, blended/self-paced learning, warm-ups, and exit tickets, flashcards, games, slideshows, and even problem-of-the-day calendars.

2) Google Classroom- This will be used to store all assignments and instructional slides-Also, all announcements will be stored here.

3) Ti-84-Calculator/Emulator and Desmos-Students will be required to download or own a Ti-84 Calculator-The Ti-Calculator and 
    Desmos and will be used for complex mathematical simulation/computation and enhanced data visualizations.

4) Delta-Math-This is an online learning platform that offers an interactive experience to learners. Here students will complete math 
    problems that further enhance their critical thinking skills.


5) Quizziz and Quizlet- Quizziz and Quizlet are the world-leading interactive platforms that will be used to create gamified quizzes, lessons, presentations, and flashcards for students. Thus helping with the retention of the content taught.

Finally for students to get the most of this learning experience they should have done Precalculus or a similar course.

Learning Goals

Students will learn the basic differentiation techniques that will create a solid foundation to continue learning Calculus or Advanced Mathematics.

Other Details

Supply List
TI84 Calculator or emulator-All material will be provided in class.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
North Carolina Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
Master's Degree in Mathematics from University of The West Indies
My name is Dwight Dunn and I have been teaching for approximately 17 years. I have taught at varying levels which include the following: High Schools, Community Colleges, and Universities. Primarily I teach the following courses: Personal Finance and Investing, PreAlgebra, Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, SAT & ACT Math, and Calculus.
My Credentials include the following: Masters of Science in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Bachelor of Science in Math and Biology, and a Diploma in Accounts and Economics.

Teaching Philosophy:

As a teacher of mathematics, I embrace that the only way to learn mathematics is to do it and understand the rationale behind each step in each problem. By frequently associating oneself to multiple algorithms that surround a specific concept is the only way to perfect those skills needed to gain mastery.  On the contrary, the process of reading examples and proofs in textbooks and from lecture notes is valuable but real learning comes through one's own efforts at solving mathematical problems. This is attained quite frequently by class assignments, but also by in-class discussions and exercises. I view my role as a facilitator for this process. That involves giving students the framework that will cultivate learning in a way that they can explore ideas on their own thus being their own master of the learning process. Thus constant stimulation and nurturing will be given to students that will aid in their development which may take the form of facts given, techniques, differentiated instructions, and encouragement. 
My goals in teaching are not just to promote learning of the subject matter. I also try to help the students learn to think critically and logically, learn problem-solving methods and techniques, and improve writing skills (writing clearly and concisely, explaining step-by-step processes, providing valid reasons for logical arguments).  I try to help students see the course material in a holistic context by requiring them to synthesize the various concepts of the course by applying them together. In addition, I try to let students realize the interrelatedness of math to other disciplines and how certain techniques learned can be used in a daily setting. One such example that I strongly believe is that our physical world is mainly created with mathematics and it is similar to a computer-generated world that relies on algorithms for everything in that simulated world to take place.  So finally I have adopted the Motto of The Mico University College Jamaica (The oldest teacher training institution in the Western Hemisphere).  Motto “ DO IT WITH THY MIGHT”

Finally, I am an avid soccer player that loves the beach all day every day.
