Secondary 4 Mathematics Cultural, Social, Technical COURSE SYLLABUS 2011 - 2012

Teacher: Miss T. Ausman Room: Lab C ; Extra help hours: by appointment on Days 2,4,6 Homework Homepage: http://missausmanshomework.blogspot.com In this math course, we will be continuing with your knowledge from mathematics 404 (CST or TS). The following subjects will be covered over the duration of this school year in the terms indicated: Term 1. Linear Relations, Inequalities, and Functions: Linear Relations, Inequalities, Shading on the Half Plane, Different types of functions and how to manipulate them, Domain and Range Term 2. Triangles and Congruent/Similar Figures: right triangles, trigonometry, congruent and similar figures, metric relations Term 3. Statistics and Probability: Probability of Random Experiments, events, odds, factorial, statistics and correlation; and Full-year review module to prepare you for the final exam

In July, 2011, The Ministry of Education, Sport and Leisure (MELS) introduced new Frameworks of Learning for the Math CST course. They are listed below. As well, the final exam will be weighted, as will the terms. The final exam is now a uniform exam (mandatorily included in the final grade). Exam weighting is TBA. You will be evaluated on the following two criteria in this course in each term. Solves a Situational Problem 30% Uses Mathematical Reasoning 70%

Course and Term Weightings are as follows:

Term One Term Two Term Three Competency 1 6% 6% 18% Solves a Situational Problem Competency 2 14% 14% 42% Uses Mathematical Reasoning Total 20% 20% 60% Your final exam will be weighted 50% against your final course mark to reflect your overall mark for Mathematics 404 CST.

Class Procedures:

I have very few explicit rules in my class, except to say that we all must respect one another. My foremost request is that you do not talk while I am speaking whether it is during attendance or when I am at the front of the room speaking to you. It is terribly rude and makes the class long and difficult if I have to stop and ask everyone to be quiet all the time. I do permit you to bring water to drink. Your responsibilities include bringing paper and pencil to class, every class. You need your math binder and all of your texts and homework. I will be providing notebooks and memory aid paper which will be part of an in-class file. You will take all notes in this notebook and it remains in class. You may sign out your notebook to take it home to study and you must return it to the class the next day. Far too many students have terrible binders, poor note-taking and no memory aid (or one developed at the last minute). I will help you pass this course using strict strategies for your own personal organization. You will not be permitted to go to your locker, as per school rules. As well, you must hand in all assignments on time. While I am somewhat flexible about late assignments due to illness or other excused absences, I expect you to see me the day you return from illness, whether we have math that day or not, to get your missed work. You need to be caught up at all times because I will not accept a pile of late assignments or unfinished quizzes/exams at the end of term.

GOOD LUCK THIS YEAR! I AM SURE WE WILL HAVE AN ENJOYABLE TIME IN SECONDARY 4 MATH!
