TEXTBOOK
THIS COURSE enables students to broaden their understanding of relationships and
extend their problem-solving and algebraic skills through investigation, the effective use
Mathematics 10
of technology, and abstract reasoning. Students will explore quadratic relations and (Nelson)
their applications; solve and apply linear systems; verify properties of geometric figures
using analytic geometry; and investigate the trigonometry of right and acute triangles.
Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-
step problems. A detailed unit breakdown is available on the reverse side of this page.

Model and solve problems involving the intersection of two straight lines.
Analytic
Solve problems using analytic geometry involving properties of lines and line segments.
geometry
Verify geometric properties of triangles and quadrilaterals, using analytic geometry.
Determine the basic properties of quadratic relations.
Quadratic
Relate transformations of the graph of y x 2 to the algebraic representation y a x h k .

relations
Solve problems involving quadratic relations.
Use knowledge of ratio and proportion to investigate, and solve problems related to, similar
and congruent triangles.
Trigonometry of
Solve problems involving right triangles, using primary trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean
right triangles theorem.
Solve problems involving acute triangles, using the sine law and the cosine law.
Your learning skills — works independently, teamwork, organization, work habits/homework, and initiative — will be evaluated, separate from
your achievement of the expectations in the course. This evaluation will not be used when determining your final mark. Indicators for each of
the learning skills are as follows (abridged list from Growing Success, 2010):
Responsibility Completes and submits class work, homework, and assignments according to agreed-upon timelines.
Takes responsibility for and manages own behaviour
Organization Devises and follows a plan and process for completing work and tasks.
Establishes priorities and manages time to complete tasks and achievement goals.
Independent Work Uses class time appropriately to complete tasks.
Follows instructions with minimal supervision.
Collabaration Responds positively to the ideas, opinions, values, and traditions of others.
Shares information, resources, and expertise and promotes critical thinking to solve problems and
make decisions.
Initiative Demonstrates the capacity for innovation and a willingness to take risks.
Demonstrates curiosity and interest in learning.
Self-Regulation Sets own individual goals and monitors progress towards achieving them.
Seeks clarification or assistance when needed.
