St. Elizabeth Catholic High SchoolCourse Information SheetCourse Title: Course Code: Prerequisite:Principles of Mathematics,Grade 10, AcademicMPM2DGrade 9 Mathematics, AcademicCOURSE DESCRIPTIONThis course enables students to broaden their understanding of relationships and extend their problemsolvingand algebraic skills through investigation, the effective use of technology, and abstract reasoning.Students will explore quadratic relations and their applications; solve and apply linear systems; verifyproperties of geometric figures using analytic geometry; and investigate the trigonometry of right and acutetriangles. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-stepproblems.The mathematical processes are to be integrated into student learning in all areas of this course.CONNECTION TO OUR CATHOLIC FAITHStudents will apply Christian values to pose and solve problems, to make logical decisions, and to becomecritical thinkers who share their abilities for the benefit of all in their classroom and school community. Asupportive mathematics classroom provides a caring and sensitive environment where the dignity and valueof all students is respected and affirmed as they grow in confidence in their mathematical abilities.Mathematical investigations will promote a respect for God’s creation and an understanding of the need touse resources wisely.StrandsQUADRATICRELATIONS OF THEFORM y = ax 2 + bx + cANALYTIC GEOMETRYTRIGONOMETRYOverall ExpectationsDetermine the basic properties of quadratic relations;Relate transformations of the graph of y = x2 to the algebraicrepresentation y = a(x – h)2 + k;Solve quadratic equations and interpret the solutions with respect tothe corresponding relations;Solve problems involving quadratic relations.Model and solve problems involving the intersection of two straightlines;Solve problems using analytic geometry involving properties of linesand line segments;Verify geometric properties of triangles and quadrilaterals, usinganalytic geometry.Use their knowledge of ratio and proportion to investigate similartriangles and solve problems related to similarity;Solve problems involving right triangles, using the primarytrigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean theorem;Solve problems involving acute triangles, using the sine law and thecosine law.
