Grade 10 – Cultural, Social & Technical (CST) Math

Overview:
Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed your summer and are ready for grade 10 CST Math! We are going
to have a BUSY year. This course is jammed-packed & is a GRADUATION REQUIREMENT! To do
well in the course, you will need to develop your problem solving skills by practicing solving questions,
and lots of them!

Course Outline:
Content
Term 1 Functions & Systems
Term 2 Analytical Geometry
Triangles – Isometric & Similar
Midterm Review
Term 3 Triangles – Trigonometry
Stats
Year-End Review

Course Evaluation:
You will be evaluated in two different areas.
Competency 1 Competency 2
Solves a Situational Problem Uses Math Reasoning
(30%) (70%)
Criteria:  Understanding the problem  Knowing what steps to do
 Solving steps correctly  Applying & solving steps correctly
 Having & validating appropriate  Justifying work
steps & answer  Organization
 Making generalizations or conclusions
(conjecture)
 Proving or disproving

Breakdown: Situational Problems: 100% Tests: 60%

(1-2 per term) Quizzes: 20%
Assignments: 20%

Mid-Year Evaluation There will be C1 & C2 midterm exams during the week of Feb 1 st - 5th 2016 that
Situation (Midterm): will be considered in your term mark.

Final Evaluation There will be a 2-hour C1 final situational problem (exam) and a 3-hour C2 final
Situation (Exam): Ministry exam during June. The C2 exam is scheduled on June 2016.
The C1 exam will be worth 40% of the year’s C1 mark. Therefore each term’s
C1 mark will be worth 20% to make up the remaining 60%. The C1 exam mark
will appear separately on the report card & will be calculated within the final
summary mark.
The C2 exam will be worth 50% of the year’s C2 mark. The C2 exam is a
Ministry exam & will therefore also be moderated. The remaining 50% of the
year C2 mark will come from the C2 term marks (term 1 = 10%, term 2= 10%
and term 3 = 30% as determined by the Ministry). The C2 exam mark will
appear separately on the MELS report card & will be calculated within the final
summary result.

Class Routines:
5 min: Recap 5 min: Recap
30 – 40 min: Lesson OR 60 min: Work Period
25 min: Practice Problems & Homework 5 min: Take Up

Materials Needed:
Please bring the following materials to every class.
 3 – ring binder  Pens or Pencils  Lots of Paper (lined, graph)
 School Agenda  Eraser  Calculator (non-programmable)
 Ruler  Highlighter  Completed work
 Dividers (5)  Colored pencils

Absence from Class:

You are responsible for catching up on class notes and completing any homework, assignments, quizzes
or tests for which you were absent. Any missed work not completed will result in a mark of zero. If you
are aware of your absence in advance, please let me know.

Missing a Test or Quiz:

Tests must be written on the scheduled day. Dates will be given at the start of each chapter (3 – 6
weeks in advance). If you know ahead of time that you will be away for a test, alternative arrangements
must be made with me before the test date. If an unexpected absence from a test occurs, a parental
note indicating the reason for missing the test or medical note may be required. In such cases,
missed tests must be written on Wednesdays after school. If your absence cannot be justified by a
note or if you do not make up the test during the appointed time, a mark of zero will be assigned.

Lates:
1- Lates to class will be recorded. Chronic lates will result in detention time, a phone call home or a
visit to the office.
2- Late assignments will be penalized 10% per class.

Homework & Assigned Work:

Success in this course is very much linked to practice! Therefore, homework will be mandatory and
assigned for every class. You will often be given time in class to start assigned work. If you are on task,
you should be able to complete the work in class. Work completion will be checked & completion marks
will be assigned & will contribute to your term mark & attitude to study. Uncompleted work will result in a
zero. Chronic incomplete homework may result in “extra help” time at lunch, a phone call home or a
Wed afternoon.

Extra Help:
This course will be VERY BUSY and we will move quickly. If you are experiencing difficulties, missed a
concept, or require clarification PLEASE come see me or a classmate ASAP for extra help. Schedule to
be posted.

 Systems
Steps for Solving a System of Equations

1. Identify that it is a system of equations problem.

a. Same variables under different situation
b. Have two unknowns (2 variables)
c. Have two rules/equations (both linear)
d. Trying to find when they are the same (same x & y coordinates)
e. Find where two lines cross
2. Identify your variables
3. Create equations
4. Select method by looking at the form of the equations:
Both y = ax + b use comparison
Both ax + by = c use addition
One y=ax + b and one ax+by = c use substitution
5. Solve for first variable
Comparison - y1 = y2
Addition- multiply equations so one variable cancels out
when they are added together
Substitution- replace y in ax+by=c with “ax+b” in first equation.
6. Substitute value of first variable into one equation to solve for second
variable.
7. Check using the OTHER equation
8. Answer the question!

Triangles

Steps for Solving a Similar Triangles Question

1. Identify it as a similar triangles question.

- may state that the triangles are similar
- may be asked to find a missing side length (or possibly an angle)
- may have a diagram showing triangles that appear to be similar

2. Prove that you have similar triangles

- if information isn’t given, you will need apply one of the theorems of similarity
(SSS, SAS, or AA)

59
3. Find the ratio of the sides (k factor) by dividing the length of a side from the larger
triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the smaller triangle.

4. Multiply or divide a known side length of one triangle by the ratio of the sides (k) to
determine the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle.

5. Check to make sure your answer makes sense. i.e. the sides of the larger triangle
should always be bigger than the matching sides of the smaller triangle. If your
answer doesn’t make sense, then you multiplied by the ratio when you should have
divided or vice versa.

- if no, use sine law a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
(need a side-angle pairing, plus another side or angle)

3. Label your triangle:

a. Right triangle – label with opposite,
adjacent and hypotenuse

b. For all other triangles – label the vertices

with capital letters, and the opposite sides
with the lower case of the same letters

4. Determine the formula to use by asking: “What information do I have and what
information do I want?”

5. Write down your formula and fill in your information

6. Solve for the unknown (pay attention to your algebra)

7. If finding an angle, use the sin-1, cos-1 or tan-1 along with the ratio of the sides that you
have.

Steps for Estimating the Correlation Coefficient

1. Identify that it’s a correlation question:

a. Told it’s a correlation
b. Given a scatter plot
c. Asked if there is a connection between 2 variables
d. Given a 2-variable distribution table

2. Draw your scatter plot. Pay attention to which variable is the x and which is the y.

82
 3. Draw your line of best fit. Should have about half of the points above and half below.

4. Draw the smallest rectangle possible around the points ensuring that it includes all
points (exclude any outliers). Keep 2 sides perpendicular to the lines of best fit and 2
sides parallel.

5. Measure the length and width of the rectangle.

6. Use the formula for estimating the correlation coefficient. Assign a positive
correlation if there is a positive rate of change and a negative correlation if there is a
negative rate of change.

7. Interpret your correlation coefficient (is it + or - , is it strong, moderate or weak).

Steps for Solving a Mean Deviation Question

1. Identify that it is a mean deviation problem:

a. Asked to find the mean deviation
b. Given mean deviation and asked to work backwards

2. Calculate the mean

3. Find the difference between each of the individual scores and the mean. Make all of
the differences positive (absolute value).

4. Take the mean (average) of the differences from step 3 by adding them up and
dividing by the total number of data.

83
 5. The resulting number is the mean deviation (how far away from the mean that the
values are on average).

6. Check your answer (do it again)! Especially if it is a short answer or multiple choice
question!

7. Answer the question.

Steps for Answering a Regression Line Question

8. Identify that it’s a regression line question:

a. Asked to find a regression line
b. Asked to make a prediction (estimate)/ find an unknown value
c. Given a scatter plot
d. Given a 2-variable distribution table

9. Draw your scatter plot. Pay attention to which variable is the x and which is the y. Exclude
any outliers.

10. Select a method – Median – median line or Mayer line or formula

11. For median-median line:

84
 a. Divide the data into 3 equal-sized groups. First and last groups MUST have the same
number of data points.
b. Find the median (middle point) of each group (S1, S2 & S3).
c. Find the rate of change between S1 (median of the first group) and S3 (median of the third
group).
d. Find point S by taking the mean/average of the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of points
S1, S2 & S3.
e. Find the equation of the line that passes through point S and has the rate of change from
step c.

For Mayer line:

a. Divide the data into 2 equal-sized groups. If you have an odd number of points, decide
which group you think the extra point best fits.
b. Find M1 and M2, by taking the mean/average of the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of
group 1 and group 2.
c. Find the equation of the line that passes through M1 and M2.

5. Use the regression line equation to find the desired value.

2. VEHICLE CONSUMPTION
Susie is interested in purchasing a 12-cylinder pick-up truck. Given the rise in gas prices, fuel
consumption is one of her concerns.
She researched the fuel consumption of different vehicles on the web. She noticed that car
companies did not post the fuel consumption of their large trucks. They only give information on
cars with an engine size of 8 cylinders or less.
Using the information she found, Susie decides to draw a scatter plot to help her calculate the
possible fuel consumption of a vehicle. She determined that a 12-cylinder vehicle consumes a

 Situational Problem #1
Pink Tuque
Mr Singfield has hired the Pinky-Tuquie Company to make the pink “NOT IN MY SCHOOL”
tuques.

You must determine a possible set of coordinates for Point N.

PINK MATERIAL:
The tuques are made by sewing together three triangular pieces of pink material.

PIECE 1:
Piece 1 is in the shape of triangle ABC, as shown below.

PIECE 2:
Piece 2 is in the shape of triangle EFG, as shown below. Triangle EFG is similar to
triangle HIG.

PIECE 3:
Piece 3 is in the shape of triangle JKL.

The cost of each piece of pink material is dependent on its area in cm 2, as shown in the table
below.
Area (cm2) of one piece Cost ($)
]0 – 200] 1.75
]200 – 400] 3.50

PURPLE PATCH:
The purple patch is given by rectangle MNOP.
 Line segment MP is given by
y  4x  6  0

 Point M is on the y-axis

 Point P is on the x-axis

 Point N is on line MN

 Point N’s x-coordinate must be

greater than or equal to 6 but less
than or equal to 14. The x-
coordinate must also be an integer

 The scale is in cm

The cost of the purple patch is dependent on its area in cm 2, given by the rule y  x2
4000
where x represent the area in cm2 & y represents the cost ($) per purple patch.

WHITE WRITING:
The Pinky-Tuquie Company charges per letter & per line for writing on each purple patch.

If 12 letters & 3 lines were written, it would cost $1.65. But if 5 letters & 1 line was written it
would cost $0.60.

Mr Singfield wants the writing on the purple patch to look like:

NOT IN MY
SCHOOL
LABOUR COSTS:
It costs $2 in labour cost to make each tuque.

To ensure quality, the total cost per tuque must be a minimum of $10.75. But due to budget
constraints, the total cost per tuque must be a maximum of $12.00.

What is a possible set of coordinates for Point N?

Holiday Shopping
120
You decide to do some holiday shopping, to buy presents for your friends & family. You have a
maximum of $123.50 to spend during your shopping day.

Based on your budget, determine how many Caramel Ripple Truffles & how many
Peppermint Bark Pieces you could possibly buy during your shopping day.

Ikea – Gift Wrap:

You begin your shopping day at Ikea planning to buy materials to wrap the gifts.

If you were to buy 4 rolls of ribbon & 3 rolls of wrapping paper, it would cost $17.25. Instead, if
you were to buy 1 roll of ribbon & 4 rolls of wrapping paper, it would cost $16.50.

You decide to buy 2 rolls of ribbon & 2 rolls of wrapping paper.

Taxi Transportation – Ikea to Starbucks:

After Ikea, you travel to Starbucks in Westboro. A map of the area is shown on the Cartesian plane
below, the scale is in kilometres.
You decide to take a taxi from Ikea to
Starbucks.

Ikea (point I) is located at coordinates (2, 8).

Pinecrest Road is given by the rule

3 y  6 x  12  0

3
Starbucks (point S) is located of the
4
distance between point P and point R.

The taxi takes the following route:

Ikea, along Pinecrest Road to point P, then
along Richmond Road to Starbucks (point S).

The taxi’s rate is given by the following piecewise function:

1.7 x  3.3 0  x  20 where:

c( x)   if x represents the total number of kilometres driven &
2.25 x  3.3 x  20
c(x) represents the total cost of the taxi ride

121
Starbucks – Gifts:
At Starbucks you decide to buy pounds of ground coffee & travel mugs as gifts.

The cost of ground coffee is given by the Step Function shown below:

where:
x represents the number of pounds of ground
coffee &
y represents the total cost

You decide to buy 2.5 pounds of ground coffee.

The cost of one travel mug depends on its size. This relation is given by the following quadratic
function:
where
y  0.078 x 2
x represents the number of ounces the travel mug can hold (i.e. size)
y represents the cost of one travel mug

You decide to buy one Grande travel mug that holds 16 ounces and one Tall travel mug that
holds 12 ounces.

Truffle Treasures – Gifts:

From Starbucks you walk to Truffle Treasures to buy chocolates as gifts. You decide to buy
Caramel Ripple Truffles & Peppermint Bark Pieces.

You decide to buy at least 10 chocolates in total. But you also decide that the number of
Peppermint Bark Pieces must be more than twice the number of Caramel Ripple Truffles.

Each Caramel Ripple Truffle costs $2.25.

Each Peppermint Bark Piece costs $1.75.

Based on your budget, how many Caramel Ripple Truffles & how many Peppermint Bark
Pieces you could possibly buy during your shopping day?

Situational Problem #4 – Airport Runways

Three new runways are being built at the Ottawa Airport. You must determine the total cost to build the
runways.

The Lights

The three runways form a triangle as shown in the diagram below. Segments AE, AD and ED represent
1
the runways. Point D is the midpoint of segment AC. Point E is located at a ratio of from point A to B.
2
All measurements are in kilometers.

The cost to install lights on the runways (C) depends on the total length of the three runways (r) and can
be determined using the following rule:

Cr   340r  6500

Planning Costs

The cost to develop the construction plan was originally determined to be $12,000 but has steadily
increased by 3.5% every day for 2 weeks.

The Paving

The material used to pave the surface of the runway is a mix of rubber and cement. The table below
shows the paving costs for two previous construction jobs.

Amount of rubber Amount of cement Total Cost of

(tonnes) (tonnes) Paving
Job A 5 8 $18,400
Job B 6 3 $13,500
