Mathematics 2P (MAT05‑04)
Competence aims and assessment
Competence aims
The pupil is expected to be able to
- explain and use percentages, percentage points and growth factors for modelling practical situations with digital tools
- explore and explain relationships between price index, relative currency value, purchasing power, salary and gross and net income
- explore strategies for solving equations, systems of equations and inequalities, and argue for one’s thought processes
- evaluate choices related to personal finances and reflect on the consequences of taking out loans and using credit cards
- analyse and present findings in datasets from local communities and media
- use and evaluate choices of suitable measures of central tendency and measures of variability in statistical data
- explore and explain how similarity, scale and the properties of geometric shapes can be used in calculations and in practical work
Formative assessment
Formative assessment shall help promote learning and develop competence in mathematics 2P. The pupils demonstrate and develop competence in the subject when they find, understand and use mathematical relationships. The pupils also demonstrate and develop competence when they work in a practical and explorative way by planning, carrying out and presenting work related to working life and society. Furthermore, the pupils demonstrate and develop competence when they evaluate statistics and choices related to personal finance, use mathematical methods and use mathematical reasoning.
The teacher shall facilitate for pupil participation and stimulate the desire to learn by allowing the pupils to explore mathematics and solve mathematical problems by reasoning, arguing and modelling. The teacher and the pupils shall engage in dialogue about their development in programming and strategies for solving problems. The pupils shall have the opportunity to try and fail. With the competence the pupils have demonstrated as the starting point, they shall have the opportunity to express what they believe they have achieved and reflect on their development in the subject. The teacher shall provide guidance on further learning and adapt the teaching to enable the pupils to use the guidance provided to develop their competence in discovering relationships between mathematics and practical applications.
Assessment of coursework
The grade awarded for coursework shall express the overall competence of the pupil after completing mathematics 2P. The teacher shall plan and facilitate for the opportunity for pupils to demonstrate their competence in different ways, including through understanding, reflection and critical thinking, and in different contexts. The teacher shall award one grade in mathematics based on the competence the pupil has demonstrated in writing, orally and digitally, by using mathematical forms of expression, problem solving strategies and reflecting on and arguing for solutions and models.
