MATHEMATICS COURSESingle pair of units1D/1E MATPRE-REQUISTES1B/C MAT Grade C or better.UNIT 1DMAT1. Number and algebraIn this section, students use rule of order, integers, decimals, fractions, percentages and ratios forpractical purposes. The number line is used to order and record positive and negative decimals.Students apply mathematics in making financial decisions and compare different financial offers orplans. They write word sentences algebraically, use formulae and solve simple equations.2. Space and measurementStudents calculate area and perimeters of circles and use Pythagoras’s theorem for the sides oftriangles. They describe the effects of reflecting, rotating and translating shapes in design, and enlarge,reduce and distort figures. They interpret detailed maps using coordinates, scales, compass directionsand bearings. Complex timetables and schedules require the calculation of elapsed time.3. Chance and dataStudents collect and record measurement data from fair samples, display data in tables and graphsincluding one and two way frequency tables, column graphs and histograms. They calculate relativefrequency, mean, median, mode and describe spread of data, and compare datasets. Information isread from tables, circle graphs and frequency graphs. They use mental strategies, written methods,calculators and computer technologies where appropriate.UNIT 1EMAT1. Number and algebraIn this section, students use percentages, decimals, fractions, ratios, positive and negative numbersand numbers with powers for practical purposes. They calculate simple and compound interest andrepayments for loans. They draw graphs in the four quadrants to represent real situations such as travelgraphs, and use them to describe how quantities are related. In number patterns, one and two stagerules are used and described.2. Space and measurementTrigonometry is used to calculate measurements in right triangles, and formulae and used to calculatevolume and surface area of prisms and pyramids. Networks are used to represent information.3. Chance and dataStudents simulate everyday chance events, calculate probabilities using sample spaces and predictresults using probabilities. They collect bivariate data relevant to them, display the data in tables andgraphs, and describe trends. They use mental strategies, written methods, calculators and computertechnologies where appropriate.CAREER POSSIBILITIES71
