Course Description:
This course enables students to develop an understanding of mathematical concepts related to introductory algebra,
proportional reasoning, and measurement and geometry through investigation, the effective use of technology, and
hands-on activities. Students will investigate real-life examples to develop various representations of linear relations,
and will determine the connections between the representations. They will also explore certain relationships that
emerge from the measurement of three-dimensional figures and two-dimensional shapes. Students will consolidate
their mathematical skills as they solve problems and communicate their thinking.
