Explanation

Competence aims after mathematics 1T-Y for Electrical Engineering and Computer Technology

The pupil is expected to be able to

  • identify variable quantities in different contexts, create formulas and

    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.

    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.

  • To explain something means to give a well-grounded explanation of a subject, an issue or something we wish to examine or implement.

     the definitions of sine, cosine and tangent,

    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.

Formative assessment

Formative assessment shall help to promote learning and develop competence in mathematics 1T-Y for Electrical Engineering and Computer Technology. The pupils demonstrate and develop competence in the subject when they find, understand and generalise mathematical relationships. The pupils also demonstrate and develop competence when they work exploratively, with a problem solving approach and through modelling by planning, carrying out and presenting subject-related work. The pupils also demonstrate and develop competence by exploring mathematical concepts, 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 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 theoretical applications.

Assessment of coursework

The grade awarded for coursework shall express the overall competence of the pupil after completing mathematics 1T-Y for Electrical Engineering and Computer Technology. The teacher shall plan and facilitate for the opportunity for the 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.
