Department of Mathematics
St. Edmund Campion Secondary School
Course Code: MPM2D1
Course Name: Mathematics
Level:
Grade 10, Academic
This course enables students to broaden their understanding of relations, extend their skill in multi-step problem
solving, and continue to develop their abilities in abstract reasoning. Students will pursue investigations of
quadratic functions and their applications; solve and apply linear systems; investigate the trigonometry of right
and acute triangles; and develop supporting algebraic skills.
Learning through abstract reasoning is an important aspect of this course.
Overall Course Expectations:
Quadratic Functions
– solve quadratic equations;
– determine, through investigation, the relationships between the graphs and the equations of quadratic
functions;
– determine, through investigation, the basic properties of quadratic functions;
– solve problems involving quadratic functions.
Analytic Geometry
– model and solve problems involving the intersection of two straight lines;
– solve problems involving the analytic geometry concepts of line segments;
– verify geometric properties of triangles and quadrilaterals, using analytic geometry.
Trigonometry
–
–
–
develop the primary trigonometric ratios, using the properties of similar triangles;
solve trigonometric problems involving right triangles;
solve trigonometric problems involving acute triangles.
Efforts will be made to meet the individual learning needs of students to promote student success
with respect to meeting these expectations.

Summative Review & Evaluation
The course will use a variety of resources that will
include computer & graphing calculator technology,
and printed resources.
The primary textbook
MathPower 10 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.

Replacement cost for the text is $90.00.
Summative Tasks will be administered towards the end of the
course, will be weighted at 30% of the final mark, and will be
comprised of 10% Culminating Task and 20% final
examination.
All timelines as stated are approximate.
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
Application
Communication
Thinking/Inquiry
30%
30%
20%
20%
Term work = 70% of the final mark. Summative work = 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 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.
4. 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 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.
May God bless your efforts this semester!
