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

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 beweighted, as

will the terms. The final exam is now auniform 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.

y Solves a Situational Problem 30%y Uses Mathematical Reasoning 70%

Course and Term Weightings are as follows:

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 Ihave to stop and ask everyone to be quiet all the time.

I will ask that you do not listen to iPods in my class; however, I do permit you to bring water to drink.

Your responsibilities include bringing paper and pencil to class, everyclass. 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!
