Department of Mathematics
St. Edmund Campion Secondary School
Course Code: MCF3M1
Course Name: Mathematics, Functions
Level:
Grade 11, University/College
This course introduces basic features of the function by extending student’s experiences with
quadratic relations. It focuses on quadratic, trigonometric, and exponential functions and their
use in modeling real-world situations. Students will represent functions numerically,
graphically, and algebraically; simplifying expressions; solve equations; and solve problems
relating to financial and trigonometric applications. Students will reason mathematically and
communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.
Overall Course Expectations:
Quadratic Functions
 Expand and simplify quadratic expressions and solve quadratic expressions.
 Determine, through investigation, the properties of quadratic functions.
 Solve and model problems involving quadratic functions.
Exponential Functions
 Explore, through investigation, the nature of exponential growth and decay, and solve
related problems.
 Solve problems involving compound interest and annuities and analyse situations that
require financial decision-making, using spreadsheets or other appropriate technology.
Trigonometric Functions
 Apply the sine law and the cosine law to solve problems involving acute triangles.
 Demonstrate an understanding of the sine function, and model periodic relationships
arising from a variety of applications using the sine function.
Efforts will be made to meet the individual learning needs of students to promote student success
with respect to meeting these expectations.

Summative Assessment & Review
The course will use a variety of resources. The
core textbook Functions and Applications 11 will
be distributed to students during 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 Assessment will be administered towards the end of
the course and will include both culminating task(s) worth
10% and a final examination worth 20% of the overall
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%

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!
