SOI Inquiry questions by Terry Linton https://padlet.com/terrylinton/HKSOI Add your SOI's in the comments suggest any improvements to the SOI's. en-us 2017-11-10 01:24:48 UTC 2026-03-18 14:46:24 UTC hello@padlet.com Quadratics MYP3 Unit terrylinton https://padlet.com/terrylinton/HKSOI/wish/205554796 SOI: Relationship helps depict the change through modelling.

Factual:
  • What is the definition of model?
  • What is Quadratic Relationship？
  • What is difference between Quadratic Relationship and Linear Relationship?

  • How can we use a model to show change in a situation?

Conceptual:
  • How do the turning points take effect in a Quadratic relationship?

Debatable:
  • Can the Quadratic Relationship always be modelled correctly?

Factual: What is the relationship between experimental probability and  theoretical probability?

Conceptual: Why is a game fair or unfair?

Debatable: Is there such a thing as luck?
Should you play an unfair game

Factual: What does it mean to model a relationship? 
Conceptual: How do we make connections of models to real life?
 Debatable: Is it always useful to apply a model and why?

Factual: 
 What logical methods can be used to complete each stage of a statistical data investigation?

 Conceptual:  
 How can we use the various representations of data and averages to justify decisions? 

 Debatable:
Do data provide answers to global problems? Can one person's decision make a difference?

Factual:
How are the angle relationships affected when parallel lines are cut by a transversal? 
Conceptual:
How can we model an architectural structure using angles?
Debatable: 
Can someone build an architectural structure successfully without a knowledge of geometry? ]]> 2018-02-24 01:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/terrylinton/HKSOI/wish/234939801 Year 7 Statistics unit (MYP1) https://padlet.com/terrylinton/HKSOI/wish/234947290 Personal and communal identities about students in Year 7 can be communicated through justified representation.

Factual:
How do we find the mean/median/mode/range?
How do we draw a bar chart/pie chart/pictogram?

Conceptual:
Why do we find measures of location/dispersion?
Why do we use alternative graphical representations of data?

Debatable:
Does the mean (etc) give a more appropriate measure of location than the median (etc)?
Does a bar chart show the information more effectively than a pie chart?

Factual
What is the difference between a linear and non linear relationship?

What happens when variables are changed in quadratic function?

Conceptual

Factual: How do we measure the area of polygons? What units can we use for length and area? What is a net? What is the difference between area and perimeter? How can we represent size on paper? 

Conceptual: What is area? How are the formulas for space inside a shape derived? Can size be represented on paper? How can you describe a shape? How can the form of a shape be represented on paper? Can different shapes have the same area? If the sides of a shape are doubled, does the area also double?

Debatable: Are regular shapes more aesthetically pleasing? Can everything be broken down into a few basic shapes? ]]> 2018-02-24 05:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/terrylinton/HKSOI/wish/234951361
