Department of Mathematics
Ascension of Our Lord Secondary School
Course Code: MBF3C1
Course Name: Mathematics
Level:
Grade 11 College
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.
PRERQUISITE: Foundations of Mathematics, Grade 10 Applied
Overall Course Expectations:
Mathematical Models:
• Make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of quadratic relations,
and use the connections to solve problems
• Demonstrate an understanding of exponents, and make connections between the numeric, graphical, and
algebraic representations of exponential relations;
• Describe and represent exponential relations, and solve problems involving exponential relations arising
from real-world applications.
Personal Finance:
• Compare simple and compound interest, relate compound interest to exponential growth, and solve
problems involving compound interest;
• Compare services available from financial institutions, and solve problems involving the cost of making
purchases on credit;
• Interpret information about owning and operating a vehicle, and solve problems involving the associated
costs.
Geometry & Trigonometry:
• Represent, in a variety of ways, two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional figures arising from realworld applications, and solve design problems;
• Solve problems involving trigonometry in acute triangles using the sine law and the cosine law, including
problems arising from real-world applications
Data Management:
•
•
Solve problems involving one-variable data by collecting, organizing, analyzing and evaluating data;
Determine and represent probability, and identify and interpret its applications.
Efforts will be made to meet the individual learning needs of students to promote student success
with respect to meeting these expectations.

Resources:
The course will use a variety of resources that will
include computer & graphing calculator technology,
and printed resources. The primary textbook will be
distributed to students during the first week of the
course. The text and all other resources assigned to
each student are the responsibility of the student. Any
damage incurred will result in payment for
replacement.
Course Introduction & Review
Unit 1: Trigonometry
Unit 2: Probability
Unit 3: One Variable Statistics
Unit 4: Quadratic Relations I

Summative Review & Evaluation
Replacement cost for the text is $75.00.
Summative Tasks will be administered towards the end of the
course, and will be weighted 10% Culminating Task and
20% Final Examination.
All timelines as stated are approximate.
Evaluation Policies
1.
Evaluation and assessment will be in accord with our school policy as outlined in the agenda.
2.
Students will be assessed & evaluated according to the work produced & skills displayed. Methods of providing feedback may
include assessing work in process & evaluating completed assignments, quizzes, tests, co-operative learning
activities, investigations and presentations.
3.
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
Application
Communication
Thinking/Inquiry
30%
30%
20%
20%
The above is reflected both in the term work (70% of the final mark) and the summative work (30% of the final mark).
Summative work consists of the Final Exam and a Culminating Activity.
4.
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
5. Assignments submitted after the due date established by the teacher will receive a penalty in accord with our
school evaluation policy as outlined in the agenda. No assignment will be accepted once a teacher has returned
marked assignments. Chronic lateness indicates poor organization skills and will result in parental contact and be
reported in the learning skills section of the report card.
6. Should a student miss an evaluation due to a legitimate absence, a note shall be provided to the teacher the day
of the student’s return to class stating the reason for the absence and the parent/guardian’s awareness that the
student has missed an evaluation. Makeup will be at the teacher’s discretion. Should such documentation
not be provided, a mark of zero will be assigned.
7. Culminating activities will be due toward the end of the course, valued at 10% of the final mark, and will
reflect course material and competencies not otherwise reflected on the final exam.
May God bless your efforts this semester!
