LC 2012 Constructions/Theorems

Moody_mona

Hi all,
I'm just trying to sort out the theorems, constructions and corollaries etc that I need to cover with my class. I've been working off the syllabus for most of the year and popping in and out of the book as we went along.

From pg 22 of the syllabus, my higher level class will need to know Constructions 1- 22, be familiar with using Theorems 7,8,11,12,13,16,17,18,20,21 and corollary 6, and then formally prove Theorems 11,12,13 . . . . Am I reading that correctly?! Because from flicking through the book (Active Maths, HL, Strands 1 and 2), they go into a lot more detail on each of the proofs, for example pg 410 says they may be asked to formally prove theorems 4,6,9,14.

Has anyone any insight into this? I don't want to leave my class unprepared, nor do I want to waste time making them learn long formal proofs unnecessarily. Any help would be much appreciated!

I went to a strand 2 content course where the emphasis was really on the syllabus, and basically if its not on the syllabus it cant come up.

The only exception might be the choice question, where students have a choice between synthetic geometry and a question applying knowledge from JCHL and old LCHL trig course. But I cant imagine proofs would come up there... its supposed to test student understanding by applying theorems to real life situations.

For the choice I'm only covering the LC content and leaving the applied question from JC, we had a look and they werent keen!

I really just wanted to make sure I was reading it right! Thanks very much.

If you want to be a 100% sure u should doublecheck with someone from the project maths development team... Jst since there wasnt a huge response on this thread!!

Good idea, thanks again!
