Course Description

This course enables students to broaden their understanding of relationships and extend their problem-solving and algebraic skills. Students will explore quadratic relations and 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.

Students choosing Grade 10 Academic Math should be students who consistently demonstrated curriculum expectations in Grade 9 Academic Math. They should be students who can grasp abstract concepts and who can understand rather than memorize a process. Students should be able to work independently, in class and on homework, and should expect an average of 60 minutes of homework or review each night.
