Ascension of Our Lord
Secondary School
Course Code: MAT2L1
Course Name: Locally Developed Compulsory Credit
Level: Grade 10 Essentials Math
This course enables students to consolidate their understanding of key mathematical concepts and to expand their
mathematical knowledge through hands-on activities in problem-solving situations. Students will solve problems using a
variety of methods for calculation; consolidate the meaning and use of proportionality through applications; use
patterning strategies to solve simple problems; collect and analyze data that will result in linear relationships; investigate
measurement aspects of two-dimensional figures and three-dimensional objects; and explore geometric relationships.
This course prepares students for the Grade 11 Mathematics course, Mathematics for Everyday Life- Workplace
Preparation.
Overall Course Expectations:

Summative Assessment will be administered towards the end of
the course and will be weighted at 30% of the final mark. These
tasks are specifically itemized below.
Evaluation Policies
1. Student marks will be determined by evaluating process & product according to 4 categories (see
below) & 4 levels of the Achievement Chart as found in the Ministry Policy document for
Mathematics.
Evaluation Structure:
Knowledge/Understanding
30%
Application
30%
Communication
20%
Thinking/Inquiry
20%
Term Evaluations = 70% of the final mark. Final Evaluation (CPT)= 30% of the final
mark.
2. Feedback will also be provided for student learning skills. Working independently, teamwork,
organization, work habits/homework, and initiative are assessed apart from student achievement in
the four categories outlined above and will conform to the coding:
E – Excellent
G – Good
S – Satisfactory
N - Needs Improvement
3. Assignments submitted after the due date established by the teacher will receive a penalty in
accord with our Board Assessment & Evaluation Policy Document as outlined in the student agenda.
4. Should a student miss an evaluation due to a legitimate absence, in accord with our Board A&E
Policy Document, the student and teacher will make arrangements to address the missed
evaluation in a timely manner. In the cases of extended vacation or prolonged absence,
consultation with the appropriate administrator is required.
5. In the event that the student does not make up the missed evaluation(s), a zero may be assigned.
If it is determined that the evaluation(s) has/have been missed as a result of a skip/truancy or
has/have been plagiarized, a zero may be assigned.
6. For all other cases of absence and/or missed evaluations (including absence during the final
examination period), please refer to our Board A&E Policy as outlined in the student agenda.
May God bless your efforts this semester!
