Explanation

Competence aims after mathematics 1P-Y for Information Technology and Media Production

The pupil is expected to be able to

  • evaluate choices related to personal finances and
    reflect

    To reflect means to examine and consider different aspects of your own and others’ actions, attitudes and ideas. We may also reflect on a subject, practical activities or our own learning. Reflection means testing out our own thoughts and attitudes to develop better insight and understanding.

    on the consequences of taking out loans and using credit cards
  • interpret

    To interpret means to construct a perception or understanding of the meaning of a phenomenon, a practical situation or an artistic expression. The understanding often builds on an analysis of individual elements and how they are linked.

    and
    use

    To use means to apply something or to carry out a task to reach a goal. To use, which is closely related to apply, is understood as to utilise or to employ, for example, a method or a tool.

    formulas related to everyday life and working life
  • interpret

    To interpret means to construct a perception or understanding of the meaning of a phenomenon, a practical situation or an artistic expression. The understanding often builds on an analysis of individual elements and how they are linked.

    and
    use

    To use means to apply something or to carry out a task to reach a goal. To use, which is closely related to apply, is understood as to utilise or to employ, for example, a method or a tool.

    compound units of measurement in practical contexts and choose suitable units of measurement
  • collect data, process large datasets, and do calculations and prepare suitable representations of these results, and
    present

    To present means to show, explain and outline a topic or a product. The way of presenting may vary, but the goal of the presentation is to make the topic or product accessible to others. To present may also mean to illustrate and to demonstrate.

    them
  • read,
    use

    To use means to apply something or to carry out a task to reach a goal. To use, which is closely related to apply, is understood as to utilise or to employ, for example, a method or a tool.

    and create spreadsheets when working with budgets, bids and cost calculations related to Information Technology and Media Production, and evaluate how different factors affect the result
  • explore

    To explore refers to experiencing and experimenting, often encouraging curiosity and sense of wonder. To explore may mean to sense, seek, discover, observe and examine. In some cases, to explore means to investigate different aspects of an issue through open and critical discussion. To explore may also mean testing or trying out and evaluating work methods, products or equipment.

    and
    use

    To use means to apply something or to carry out a task to reach a goal. To use, which is closely related to apply, is understood as to utilise or to employ, for example, a method or a tool.

    geometric shapes and proportions and
    use

    To use means to apply something or to carry out a task to reach a goal. To use, which is closely related to apply, is understood as to utilise or to employ, for example, a method or a tool.

    them in design and product development

Formative assessment

Formative assessment shall help to promote learning and develop competence in mathematics 1P-Y for Information Technology and Media Production. The pupils demonstrate and develop competence in the subject when they use mathematical concepts in communication, and 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. The pupils also demonstrate and develop their competence when they make and explore mathematical models, using mathematical methods and 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 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 reflect the overall mathematical competence of the pupil after completing mathematics 1P-Y for Information Technology and Media Production. 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, using problem solving strategies and reflecting on and arguing for solutions and models.
