Course Overview:
This course enables students to broaden their understanding of mathematics as a problem solving
tool in the real world. Students will extend their understanding of quadratic
relations; investigate situations involving exponential growth; solve problems involving
compound interest; solve financial problems connected with vehicle ownership; develop
their ability to reason by collecting, analyzing, and evaluating data involving one variable;
connect probability and statistics; and solve problems in geometry and trigonometry.
Students will consolidate their mathematical skills as they solve problems and
communicate their thinking.
.
Curriculum Strands and Overall Expectations:
1. Mathematical Models
a. make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of quadratic
relations, and use the connections to solve problems;
b. demonstrate an understanding of exponents, and make connections between the numeric, graphical,
and algebraic representations of exponential relations;
c. describe and represent exponential relations, and solve problems involving exponential relations
arising from real-world applications
2. Personal Finance
a. compare simple and compound interest, relate compound interest to exponential growth, and solve
problems involving compound interest;
b. compare services available from financial institutions, and solve problems involving the cost of making
purchases on credit;
c. interpret information about owning and operating a vehicle, and solve problems involving the
associated cost
3. Geometry and Trigonometry
a. represent, in a variety of ways, two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional figures arising from
real-world applications, and solve design problems;
b. solve problems involving trigonometry in acute triangles using the sine law and the cosine law,
including problems arising from real-world applications.
4. Data Management
a. solve problems involving one-variable data by collecting, organizing, analysing, and evaluating data;
b. determine and represent probability, and identify and interpret its applications.

The report card also reports on five learning skills. For each learning skill the student will be
given a grade of Needs Improvement, Satisfactory, Good or Excellent.
The learning skills are:
 Responsibility
 Organization
 Independent Work
 Collaboration
 Initiative
 Self Regulation
Attendance Policies and Procedures
(pages 10-12 in the Student Agenda)
1. Absences
When you are absent:
bring a note from home
sign in at the attendance office before 8:15 a.m.
show your admit slip to each of your teachers
make arrangements with your teacher to get notes, handouts and complete any
assignments or tests you have missed
NOTE: if you do not bring a note from your parent or guardian, your absence is considered a
Skip until you provide the attendance secretary with a note.

2. Lates
Students are considered late for class if they are not in the classroom, prepared to work,
when the bell rings.
Teacher warning
First
Second Teacher assigns a consequence
Teacher contacts parent or guardian and assigns a consequence
Third
Fourth VP referral and consequence
VP contact with parent or guardian and student sent home
Fifth
Two-day suspension and VP conference with parent or guardian
Sixth
3. Skips
Absences are considered skips if students are away without permission, or, in the case of
students is 18 years of age, a reason that is not considered valid by their teacher of Viceprincipal.
1st Skip Teacher contacts parent or guardian and assigns consequence
2nd Skip Student is referred t a VP: parent or guardian is contacted and a consequence is
assigned
3rd Skip Parent or guardian is contacted and student is sent home for one day
4th Skip Parent or guardian is contacted and student is suspended for three days
Uniform Policy (as outlined on pages 13 – 15 I the Student Agenda)
When you are out of uniform go to the main office and explain your situation
You may be asked to go home and get changed and/or serve a detention or spend the day in
the office.
Assignments and Projects
**Late Assignments: Once a due date has passed, a maximum late penalty of 10% will be
deducted. The parent/guardian of any student who has missed this due date will be contacted
and the assignment closure date (final date the assignment will be accepted) will be
communicated to the parent/guardian. Any assignment not submitted by this closure date will
receive a zero. Refers to major assignments—not to any daily in-class work that is collected
for evaluation which will receive a zero if not submitted in class as requested. (e.g. by the end
of the period).
Academic Dishonesty
**Cheating (e.g. copying another student’s work or allowing another student to copy your
work, using cheat notes in whatever form in tests, plagiarism, etc.): All students involved in
cheating of any kind will receive a zero for the work or the test.
**See sections under ―Submission of Assignments‖ and ―Academic Honesty‖ in agenda book.
