Course Code:
Level:
MFM2P1 - Mathematics
Grade 10, Applied
This course enables students to consolidate their understanding of linear relations and extend their problem-solving and
algebraic skills through investigation, the effective use of technology, and hands-on activities. Students will develop and graph
equations in analytic geometry; solve and apply linear systems, using real-life examples; and explore and interpret graphs of
quadratic relations. Students will investigate similar triangles, the trigonometry of right triangles, and the measurement of
three-dimensional figures. Students will consolidate their mathematical skills as they solve problems and communicate their
thinking.
Overall Course Expectations:
Measurement and Trigonometry

investigate similar triangles and solve problems related to similarity;

solve problems involving right triangles, using primary trigonometric ratios and the
Pythagorean theorem;

solve problems involving the surface area and volume of three-dimensional figures and use the
imperial and metric system of measurement.
Modelling Linear Relations

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.
Quadratic Relations

manipulate algebraic expressions, as needed to understand quadratic relations;

identify characteristics of quadratic relations;

solve problems by interpreting graphs of quadratic relations.
Efforts will be made to meet the individual learning needs of students to promote student success
with respect to meeting these expectations.

The course will use a variety of resources. The
primary textbook Mathematics: Applying the
Concepts 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 $75.00.

Summative Assessment will be administered towards the end of
the course and will include a summative task worth 10% of
the final grade and a final examination worth 20% of the
final grade. (All timelines 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.
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!
