Date and costs TBASTUDENT MATERIALS: You must bring the following items to class to be prepared:Pen/pencil/rulerScientific calculatorTextbookBinder and lined paperCOURSE DESCRIPTION:This course introduces the mathematical concept of the function by extending students’ experiences with linear and quadratic relations. Students will investigate properties of discrete and continuous functions, including trigonometric and exponential functions; represent functions numerically, algebraically, and graphically; solve problems involving applications of functions; investigate inverse functions; and develop facility in determining equivalent algebraic expressions. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.ASSESSMENT & EVALUATION: A final grade is recorded for every course, and a credit is granted and recorded for every course in which the student’s grade is 50% or higher. ? 70% of the grade will be based on evaluations conducted throughout the course. ? 30% of the grade will be based on a final evaluation in the form of an examination, performance, essay, and/or other method of evaluation suitable to the course content.KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDINGTHINKINGAPPLICATIONCOMMUNICATION30 %20 %30 %20 %CATEGORYDESCRIPTIONKNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDINGKnowledge of content (facts, terms, definitions);Understanding of concepts (ideas, theories, procedures, processes).THINKINGUse of planning skills (research, asking questions, setting goals);Use of processing skills (analyzing, synthesizing, evaluating);Use of critical/creative thinking processes (problem-solving).APPLICATIONApplication of knowledge and skills in familiar and new contexts;Making connections within and between various MUNICATIONExpression and organization of ideas and information;Communication for different audiences and purposes;Use of conventions (vocabulary, conventions of form, citations).The report card provides a record of the learning skills demonstrated by the student in every course. The learning skills are evaluated using a four-point scale: (E-Excellent, G-Good, S-Satisfactory, N-Needs Improvement). The separate evaluation and reporting of the learning skills in these six areas reflects their critical role in students’ achievement of the curriculum expectations. CATEGORYDESCRIPTIONRESPONSIBILITYCompletes and submits class work, homework, and assignments according to agreed-upon timelines;Takes responsibility for and manages own ANIZATIONEstablishes priorities and manages time to complete tasks and goals;Identifies, gathers, evaluates and uses information, technology and resources to complete tasks.INDEPENDENT WORKUses class time appropriately to complete tasks;Follows instructions with minimal supervision.COLLABORATIONAccepts various roles and equitable share of work in a group;Responds positively to the ideas, opinions, and traditions of others.INITIATIVE Looks for and acts on new ideas and opportunities for learning;Demonstrates a positive attitude, curiosity and interest in learning;Advocates appropriately for the rights of self and others.SELF-REGULATIONSets own individual goals and monitors progress towards them;Seeks clarification or assistance when needed;Perseveres and makes an effort when responding to challenges.LATE ASSIGNMENTS: If a student has a valid reason for an extension, they must speak with the teacher to discuss the possibility of changing the due date before the due date to set an extension date for accommodation purposes. Only one extension allowed per assignment.One day late - loss of 5% Two days late - loss of 10%, parents/guardians are contactedThree days late - loss of 15%, Four days late - loss of 20%, Five days late - loss of 25%Six days late - a mark of ZERO may be assignedPLAGIARISM: Students must only submit their own work. CUT & PASTE is NOT ALLOWED.Plagiarism is the copying of someone else’s words, ideas or work without proper citation. This might be a sentence or a paragraph copied from a book, the Internet or a friend.1st plagiarism - loss of 25%, must redo the assignment & attend a plagiarism workshop2nd plagiarism - a mark of ZERO3rd plagiarism – a mark of ZERO and a meeting with the school board to determine possible suspension, fine, and/or expulsionCHEATING: Students must not cheat during tests, assignments, or exams. 1st time caught cheating: Test, assignment, or exam will be taken and only the material prior to the question involving the cheating will be marked.2nd time caught cheating: The student will receive ZERO for the test, assignment, or exam.3rd time caught cheating: The student will receive ZERO and will go before the school board to determine possible suspension, fine, and/or expulsion.ATTENDANCE: There is a link between student attendance and academic success.You may be withdrawn from a course if you fail to attend regularly.If you are LATE to class less than 10 minutes 4 times in one month = 30-minute detention.If you are LATE to class more than 10 minutes, it is recorded as an absence. TECHNOLOGY: All students must sign an Acceptable Use Policy outing the appropriate time, place and use of technology. The Homeroom teacher will review this policy at the beginning of each semester.HOMEWORK: Homework will be assigned and will be checked regularly to ensure good understanding. Your success on tests and assignments depends on doing the homework accurately and on time. Homework is NOT optional. Parents will be contacted if homework is consistently not completed.Unit NumberUnit TitleNumber of HoursReview of Grade 10 Skills1 hoursStrand ACharacteristics of Functions21 hoursStrand AQuadratic Functions20 hoursStrand BExponential Functions14 hours Strand CFinancial Mathematics (Discrete Functions)27 hoursStrand DTrigonometric Functions27 hoursTotal Number of hours110 hours ................
