Course Overview:
This course enables students to consolidate their understanding of key mathematical concepts
through hands-on activities and to extend their problem solving experiences in a variety of
applications. Students will solve problems using proportional reasoning and the trigonometry of
right triangles; investigate applications of piecewise linear functions; solve and apply systems of
linear equations; and solve problems involving quadratic functions. The effective use of
technology in learning and in solving problems will be a focus of this course.
Curriculum Strands and Overall Expectations:
Quadratic Relations of the form y = ax2 + bx + c
By the end of this course, students will:
• manipulate algebraic expressions, as needed to understand quadratic relations;
• identify characteristics of quadratic relations;
• solve problems by interpreting graphs of quadratic relations.
Modelling Linear Relations
By the end of this course, students will:
• manipulate and solve algebraic equations, as needed to solve problems;
• graph a line and write the equation of a line from given information;
• solve systems of two linear equations, and solve related problems that arise from
realistic situations.
Measurement and Trigonometry
By the end of this course, students will:
• use their knowledge of ratio and proportion to investigate similar triangles and solve
problems related to similarity;
• solve problems involving right triangles, using the primary trigonometric ratios and the
Pythagorean theorem;
• solve problems involving the surface areas and volumes of three-dimensional figures,
and use the imperial and metric systems of measurement.

Missed/Late/Incomplete Assignments
It is the student’s responsibility to address missed, late, or incomplete assignments. Students are
expected to complete assignments and to adhere to assignment deadlines as follows:
Due Date
A due date is set by the
teacher.
10% Penalty Zone
1 school day late – 3%
2 school days late – 6%
3 school days late – 10%
Maximum penalty of 10%
Closure Date
Once the closure date has
passed, work is considered
incomplete and a mark of
zero applies.
