COURSE: Grade 11 Functions – University Preparation PREREQUISITE: CODE: MCR 3U1 Grade 10 Academic Math (MPM 2D1) TEXTBOOK: Functions 11 (Nelson) Cost: $100.00 You can access the textbook on-line using: http://www.nelson.com/secondarymath/functions11/sb/ Username: function11 Password: 11func COURSE OVERVIEW: 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. COURSE OUTLINE: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

PLEASE NOTE … NO food or drinks are allowed in the classroom; NO technological devices (cell phones (as a phone or as a calculator), Ipods, PSPs, walkmans, programmable calculators etc.) are allowed in the classroom. MISSED MATERIAL: It is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to make up material missed due to an illness or a school related absence. This may be accomplished by contacting a classmate, picking up missed notes, attempting the homework and then, pursuing extra help. Extra help is available by appointment with your teacher! TEXTBOOK POLICY: There is a $100 replacement fee for a lost or damaged resource book. TEST/QUIZ POLICY: Students are expected to be present for ALL math tests. 1. If a student knows in advance that he/she will be away for a test, he/she must approach the teacher with the valid reason at least two days PRIOR to the test date and make alternate arrangements. 2. If a student is absent on the day of the test, a phone call from a parent/guardian MUST be made to the school before noon on the test day. Then, it is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the teacher to make up the test. If no arrangements are made, a mark of zero will be assigned and the parents will be contacted. Note: NO test marks will be dropped and NO rewrites will be permitted. I have read and understood the above course description.
