years to vocation.
COURSE OUTLINE
Department: Math / Business/ Computer
Course:
Principles of Mathematics, 9
Course Code: MPM1D1
Course Description:
This course enables students to develop an understanding of mathematical concepts related to algebra, analytic
geometry, and measurement and geometry through investigation, the effective use of technology, and abstract
reasoning. Students will investigate relationships, which they will then generalize as equations of lines, and will
determine the connections between different representations of a linear relation. They will also explore relationships
that emerge from the measurement of three-dimensional figures and two-dimensional shapes. Students will reason
mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.
