AUTHENTIC INDEPENDENT CONNECTED CREATIVE DYNAMIC Law 40S This course is an introduction to Canadian Law and the legal system in Canada. Objectives At the end of the course the student should have some basic knowledge about the legal system in Canada and various aspects of law. Topics • The Legal System • The Charter of Rights and Freedoms • Criminal Law • Torts Law • Family Law • Electoral Process Assignments Term marks are based on homework assignments, tests and presentations. Students should be prepared to participate in class discussion. Occasionally, we may have field trips to various law related sites instead of class. Prerequisite None Applied Mathematics 40S Applied Mathematics 40S is designed for students who will require mathematics as part of their post-secondary education, but will not require calculus. The course is designed with the notion that students should take an active part in their learning process. Investigations, projects and presentations dealing with authentic situations will be a main ingredient of the course. Emphasis will be placed on data collection and problem solving using graphing calculators and spreadsheets. Students will be encouraged to hypothesize, experiment, measure, analyze, assess, discuss, write, explain, and justify their ideas. Topics • Matrix Modeling • Vectors • Personal Finance • Probability • Variability and Statistical Analysis • Design and Measurement • Applications of Periodic Functions • Sequences Prerequisite Mathematics 30S Applied (preferred) or Mathematics 30S Pre- Calculus Special Requirement A graphics calculator is mandatory for any Applied course. It is recommended that students purchase a Texas Instrument TI-83 or TI-83 Plus. Note: University faculties and technology programs have different entrance requirements of either 40S Pre-Calculus and/or 40S Applied. Please check with a dean, or the specific faculty you are interested in to ensure the proper entrance qualifications. Consumer Mathematics 40S This course is intended for students who will require no abstract mathematics in their post-secondary studies. Course work includes investigations, projects and presentations dealing with mathematics in everyday living. The final term includes portfolio work that allows the student to show they have taken an active part in their mathematical learning process. The course is accepted for general admission to universities and colleges. Topics • Personal Finance - Life Insurance, Mortgages, Purchasing a Home • Government Finances – Your government and your community • Investments – Having your money work for you. • Variation and Formula – Solving Real-World Problems. • Preparing a basic Income Tax Return • Researching a Career – Planning for Your Future • Statistics – A World of Information • Design and Measurement (optional) • Portfolio – Demonstrating Growth and Understanding in Mathematics Text Essentials of Mathematics 12. Text is supplied byThe Collegiate. Assignments Term marks will be based on homework assignments, quizzes, term tests and projects. Prerequisite Grade 11 mathematics Special requirements A scientific calculator is mandatory for the course. Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S is a very demanding and fast paced course designed for students who intend on taking calculus at a post-secondary institution. The content of the course focuses on abstract numerical concepts and places an emphasis on cumulative testing, mental mathematics, and higher level problem solving. Prerequisites Students entering Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S should have taken Pre-Calculus Mathematics 30S. The student is expected to have a good understanding of polynomials, exponents, the solution of first and second degree equations, graphing of linear, quadratic, cubic and rational functions, and trigonometry. Topics • Circular Functions • Transformations • Trigonometric Identities• Exponents and Logarithms • Permutations, Combinations, Binomial Theorem • Analyzing and Graphing Complex Functions • Geometric Sequences and Series T H E C O L L E G I A T E 2 0 1 1 – 2 0 1 2 3 9
AUTHENTIC INDEPENDENT CONNECTED CREATIVE DYNAMIC Course Descriptions (continued) Evaluation There will be daily assignments given for homework; to be successful a student must take the time to complete these assignments. Term marks, however, will be based on the result of weekly assignments, quizzes, and tests. Students will also write a mid-term and final examination. Special Requirement Students are strongly encouraged to purchase a Texas Instrument TI-83 or TI-83 Plus. Note: University faculties and technology programs have different entrance requirements of either 40S Pre-Calculus and/or 40S Applied. Please check with a dean, or the specific faculty you are interested in to ensure the proper entrance qualifications. Pre-calculus Mathematics 30S / 40S (Mature) These courses are designed for students who have had some difficulties in mathematics and who have been away from mathematics for some time. The courses meet every day during the entire school year to provide an intensive, consistent mathematics experience. The Mature Mathematics 30S course covers all the topics needed for the student to be successful in Mathematics 40S. The Mathematics 30S is taught during the Fall Session and the Mathematics 40S is taught during the Winter Session. The successful student will earn 2 credits; one for Mathematics 30S and one for Mathematics 40S in one school year. Topics: all the topics in the regular 30S and 40S curriculum are covered in this course. Evaluation will be based on tests, mid-term exams and final exams. Prerequisite: Mathematics 20S Introduction to Calculus 42U: MATH-1101/6 Accelerated students at The Collegiate have a tremendous opportunity to take Introduction to Calculus, a rigorous first year university course. Very motivated students with a strong math background are encouraged to take this course. To prepare for this course it is strongly recommended that students use the following template to plan their high school mathematics courses. Grade 10: 20S Pre-calculus (Fall/Winter Term) 30S Pre-calculus (Spring Term) Grade 11: 40S Pre-calculus (Fall/Winter Term) Grade 12: Intro to Calculus (Fall/Winter Term) Objectives • To promote student understanding of mathematical concepts through the exercise of intuition, logical deduction, and problem solving. • To increase student awareness and appreciation of the practical applications of calculus. • To equip students with a strong foundation in introductory calculus in preparation for second year calculus. Prerequisites Above average standing in Pre-Calculus 40S Topics • Limits • Derivatives • Applications of the Derivative • The Integral • Applications of the Integral • The Natural Log and Exponential Functions • Techniques of Integration • Indeterminate Forms and L’Hopital’s Rule • Improper Integrals Assignments Students are expected to solve relevant problems to increase their comprehension of calculus concepts. Introduction to Calculus is a very demanding and fast paced course, students should expect homework varying from 1 - 1.5 hours nightly. Evaluation Term tests (35%) Midterm Exam (15%) Final Exam (50%) University of Winnipeg Dual Credit Introduction to Calculus 42U is equivalent to The University of Winnipeg course MATH- 1101/6 Introduction to Calculus. This course will be registered for a first year university credit (6 credit hours) as well as for one Grade 12 credit. Music Band (Jazz) 40S Course participants will improve their knowledge of jazz and further develop their performance skills. Through a combination of study components including jazz ensemble, ‘jam’ session participation, jazz theory, ear-training and solo transaction units, project work and private or semiprivate instruction on their instrument, students will expand their knowledge of jazz. Students are required to attend a minimum of three live jazz concert performances by professional musicians as part of this course. All instructors are active and professional musicians. The Director is Janice Finlay. Pre-requisite Music Band (Jazz) 30S or a minimum of three years experience on their instrument or permission for the instructor. The ability to read music is strongly recommended. All classes take place at the Manitoba Conservatory of Music and Arts, 211 Bannatyne at Main Street. 4 0 T H E C O L L E G I A T E 2 0 1 1 – 2 0 1 2
