COURSE OUTLINE
PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES
It is expected that students will:
·
Use a variety of methods to solve real-life, practical, technical and theoretical problems.
·
Solve problems that involve linear measurement using SI and imperial units of measure.
·
Apply proportional reasoning to problems involving conversions between SI and imperial units.
·
Solve problems (using SI and imperial units) that involve the surface area and volume of 3-D objects.
·
Develop and apply the primary trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent) to solve problems that involve right
triangles.
·
Demonstrate an understanding of factors of whole numbers by determining prime factors, GCF, LCM, square
root, cube root.
.
Demonstrate an understanding of irrational numbers by representing, identifying, simplifying & ordering
radicals.
.
Demonstrate an understanding of powers with integral and rational exponents.
.
Demonstrate an understanding of the multiplication of polynomial expressions (monomials, binomials,
trinomials), concretely, pictorially, and symbolically.
.
Demonstrate an understanding of common factors and trinomial factoring.
.
Interpret and explain the relationships among data, graphs, and real-life situations.
.
Demonstrate an understanding of relations & functions, represent linear functions using function notation.
.
Describe and represent linear relations using words, ordered pairs, table of values, graphs, equations.
.
Determine the characteristics of the graphs of linear relations (intercepts, slope, domain, range).
.
Determine the equation of a linear relation to solve problems.
.
Solve problems that involve systems of linear equations in two variables, graphically and algebraically.
