Course Outline

This course has been designed by the Saskatchwan Ministry of Education. All of the material we will cover is a reflection of and takes the direction of the Foundations of Mathematics Foundations and Pre-Calculus 10 course. Below I have listed the units we will cover as well as the outcome from the curriculum. Before we begin each unit I will post and email home a Unit Newsletter which better explains each outcome.

Unit One: Measurement
 * Demonstrate understanding of SI and imprial units of measurement including
 * linear measurement
 * surface area of spheres, and right cones, cylinders, prisms, and pyramids
 * volume of spheres, and right cones, cylinders, prisms, and pyramids
 * relationships between and within measurement systems.

[|unit one newsletter.docx] Unit Two: Trigonometry
 * Develop and apply the primary trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine,tangent) to solve problems that involve right triangles.

Unit Three: Factors and Products
 * Demonstrate understanding of the multiplication and factoring of polynomial expressions (concretely, pictorially and symbolically) including:
 * multiplying of monomials,binomials and trinomials
 * common factors
 * trinomial factoring
 * relating multiplication and factoring of polynomials

Unit Four: Roots and Powers
 * Demonstate understanding of irrational numbers in both radical (including mixed radical) and exponent forms through:
 * representing
 * identifying
 * simplifying
 * ordering
 * relating to rational numbers
 * applying the exponent laws

Unit Five: Relations and Functions Unit Six: Linear Functions
 * Expand and apply understanding of relations and functions including:
 * relating data, graphs and situations
 * analyzing and interpreting
 * distinguishing between relations and functions
 * Demonstrate understanding of linear relations including:
 * representing in words, ordered pairs, tables of values, graphs, function notation, and equations
 * Demonstrate with and without the use of technology, understanding of slope with respect to:
 * line segments and lines
 * rate of change
 * ratio of rise to run
 * parallel lines
 * perpendicular lines

Unit Seven: Systems of Linear Equations
 * Demonstrate understanding of the writing and application of equations of linear relations, given:
 * a graph of a relation
 * a point that satisfies a relation and the slope of the relation
 * two distinct points that satisfies the relation and the equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to the relation
 * Solve problems that involve systems of linear equations in two variables, graphically and algebraically
