Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic High School

Course Overview
COURSE TITLE: Principles of Mathematics Academic
COURSE CODE: MPM2D1
CREDIT VALUE: 1.0
SCHOOL YEAR: 2017-2018
TEACHERS: Mrs. K. Fischer and Ms. K. Sooley

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
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. This course helps students to meet Ontario Catholic Graduate Expectations by enabling each person to become a
reflective and creative thinker who evaluates situations and solves problems reflectively and creatively.

HOW THIS COURSE SUPPORTS THE ONTARIO CATHOLIC GRADUATE EXPECTATIONS:


Students will apply Christian values to pose and solve problems, to make logical decisions, and to become critical thinkers who share their abilities for the benefit of all in
their classroom and school community. A supportive mathematics classroom provides a caring and sensitive environment where the dignity and value of all students is
respected and affirmed as they grow in confidence in their mathematical abilities. Mathematical investigations will promote a respect for Gods Creation and an
understanding of the need to use resources wisely. Please see the Student Handbook for a listing of the Ontario Catholic Graduate Expectations.

OVERALL EXPECTATIONS:
By the end of this course, students will:
Quadratic Relations
determine the basic properties of quadratic relations;
relate transformations of the graph of y = x to the algebraic representation y = a(x h) + k;
2 2

solve quadratic equations and interpret the solutions with respect to the corresponding relations;
solve problems involving quadratic relations.

Analytic Geometry
model and solve problems involving the intersection of two straight lines;
solve problems involving the analytic geometry involving properties of lines and line segments;
verify geometric properties of triangles and quadrilaterals, using analytic geometry.

Trigonometry
use their knowledge of ratio and proportion to investigate similar triangles and solve problems related to similarity;
develop the primary trigonometric ratios, using the properties of similar triangles;
solve problems involving right triangles, using the primary trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem;
solve problems involving acute triangles using the sine law and the cosine law.

GENERAL COURSE INFORMATION:

ASSESSMENT and EVALUATION:

COURSE GRADE WEIGHTING: CATEGORY WEIGHTING:


Knowledge and Understanding 30%
Term Work 70% Thinking 20%
Final Assessment 30% Application 40%
Communication 10%

Students will be assessed using a variety of techniques: including: unit tests, quizzes, assignments, investigations and a formal final exam.

LATE/MISSED EVALUATIONS:
Students are expected to complete and/or submit all assessment and evaluation activities on the date determined by the teacher. The teacher (and/or principal when
necessary) will decide if a late activity will be accepted for evaluation purposes or only for formative assessment with no level/mark recorded for grading.

CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM:


Please see information regarding this topic in the Student Handbook.

APPROPRIATE USE OF GRAPHING CALCULATORS


Students will be provided with graphing calculators to be used at school only. In keeping with Board Policy on Telecommunications: Any malicious attempt to harm or
destroy the calculator is prohibited and may result in financial compensation and/or other disciplinary action consistent with the School Code of Behaviour, Board Policy
and/or the Education Act. Likewise, theft or loss, through negligence, of the calculator will result in a cost replacement by the student/parents of $150.00.
