Description:
This course lays the foundation for further work with algebra, relations and functions. The concepts and skills around factoring, square and cube roots, irrational numbers, powers, and the multiplication of polynomial expressions are explored and practiced. The relationships between numbers in data and graphical form are interpreted and explained with reference to concrete situations. Linear relationships are explored in detail – slope, ways to represent linear relationships, characteristics when graphed, algebraic and functional notation, calculations of distance and midpoint, and methods of solving systems of equations. This is a required course for all students and is a pre-requisite for the Foundations of Mathematics and the Pre-Calculus pathways.

Description:
This course is the first of two courses designed for entry into many trades and technical programs, and for direct entry into the work force. Concepts of right triangles, trigonometry, and angles of elevation and depression are applied to contextual problems. Scale models and drawings of 2-D and 3-D objects are constructed from various views and perspectives. Students are challenged to solve problems that involve numerical reasoning. Costs and benefits of renting and leasing and buying are explored, investment portfolios analyzed and personal budgets developed. Students manipulate and apply formulas in a variety of ways and solve problems using proportional reasoning and unit analysis.
Students have a choice of this course or
Foundations of Mathematics 11
to complete graduation requirements. This is a pre-requisite for
Financial and Workplace Mathematics 12
.

Prerequisite:
Prerequisite(Title):
Prerequisite(ID):
Description:
This course is designed for entry into post-secondary programs in Science, Engineering and Business. Students develop trigonometric reasoning by demonstrating an understanding of angles in standard position, develop and apply the equation of the unit circle, and graph and analyze the trigonometric functions sine, cosine and tangent. Students solve problems using the six trigonometric ratios, prove trigonometric identities, and solve first and second degree trigonometric equations. Students will develop algebraic and graphical reasoning through the study of relations and functions, applying compositions transformations and inverses. Students will also graph and analyze exponential and logarithmic functions.

Prerequisite(Title):
Prerequisite(ID):
Description:
This course, followed by later courses in Pre-Calculus and Calculus, is designed for entry into post-secondary programs requiring Pre-Calculus. Students demonstrate an understanding of absolute value of real numbers, and solve problems that involve radicals, radical expressions, and radical equations. Students determine equivalent forms, simplify rational expressions, and solve problems that involve rational equations. They develop an understanding of angles in standard position (0°to360°) and solve problems for these angles using the three primary trigonometric ratios. Polynomial expressions are factored and absolute value functions and quadratic functions are analyzed and graphed. Students solve problems that involve quadratic equations and solve, algebraically and graphically, problems that involve systems of linear-quadratic and quadratic-quadratic equations in two variables. They also solve problems that involve linear and quadratic inequalities in two variables, and quadratic inequalities in one variable.
