|Course Description |

|This course enables students to broaden their understanding of mathematics as a problem-solving tool in the real world. Students will extend|

|their understanding of quadratic relations; investigate situations involving exponential growth; solve problems involving compound interest;|

|solve financial problems connected with vehicle ownership; develop their ability to reason by collecting, analysing, and evaluating data |

|involving one variable; connect probability and statistics; and solve problems in geometry and trigonometry. Students will consolidate their|

|mathematical skills as they solve problems and communicate their thinking. |

|Listed in order of instructional delivery |

|Strand/Unit Titles: |Overall Expectations |

|Mathematical Models |• make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of quadratic relations,|

| |and use the connections to solve problems; |

| |• demonstrate an understanding of exponents, and make connections between the numeric, graphical, and |

| |algebraic representations of exponential relations; |

| |• describe and represent exponential relations, and solve problems involving exponential relations |

| |arising from real-world applications. |

| Personal Finance |• compare simple and compound interest, relate compound interest to exponential growth, and solve |

| |problems involving compound interest; |

| |• compare services available from financial institutions, and solve problems involving the cost of |

| |making purchases on credit; |

| |• interpret information about owning and operating a vehicle, and solve problems involving the |

| |associated costs. |

|Geometry and Trigonometry |• represent, in a variety of ways, two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional figures arising from |

| |real-world applications, and solve design problems; |

| |• solve problems involving trigonometry in acute triangles using the sine law and the cosine law, |

| |including problems arising from real-world applications. |

|Data Management |• solve problems involving one-variable data by collecting, organizing, analysing, and evaluating data; |

| |• determine and represent probability, and identify and interpret its applications. |

QUIZ AND TEST POLICY

Unit tests and quizzes are a required part of the assessment and evaluation in the course. Students who are absent on the day of a test, on returning to class, must produce a letter detailing the medical reason for absence. As a result of this, ‘no mark’ will be entered for the student. This will have no effect on the student’s average. After the exam, ‘no mark’ will be replaced by the exam mark with the suitable weighting.

For example: Student, with acceptable reason for absence, misses a unit test worth 36 marks. The student’s final exam mark is 76%. Therefore, ‘no mark’ will be replaced by 36 ( 76% i.e. 27.4 to one decimal place.

When a test or quiz date is announced by the teacher, it is very important that each student check her/his schedule immediately and inform the teacher of any conflicting SCHOOL activity.

ABSENCES

Absence from class should be kept to a minimum in order to achieve at the highest level.

If a student knows in advance of an absence, he/she should ask the teacher for the relevant work.

If the absence is unexpected, the student should phone a classmate or the school (416-393-5556) to find out the missed work.

|Learning Skills Criteria |
