MFM2P Foundations of Mathematics Introduction
Grade 10 Mathematics (Applied)

Welcome to the Grade 10 Foundations of Mathematics, MFM2P. This full-credit course
is part of the new Ontario Secondary School curriculum.

This course enables students to develop and understanding of the mathematical
concepts related to introductory algebra, proportional reasoning, and measurement and
geometry through investigation and the effective use of technology. Students will
investigate real-life examples to develop various representations of linear relationships,
and will determine the connections between the representations. They will also explore
certain relationships that emerge from the measurement of three-dimensional figures
and two-dimensional shapes. Students will consolidate their mathematical skills as they
solve problems and communicate their thinking.

Materials

This course is self-contained and does not require a textbook. You will require lined
paper, graph paper, a ruler, a scientific calculator and a writing utensil.

Expectations

The overall expectations you will cover in the lesson are listed on the first page of each
lesson.

Lesson Description

Each lesson contains one or more concepts with each being followed by support
questions. At the end of the lesson the key questions covering all concepts in the
lesson are assigned and will be submitted for evaluation.

Evaluation

In each lesson, there are support questions and key questions. You will be evaluated
on your answers to the key questions in each lesson, the mid-term exam and the final
exam.

Support Questions

These questions will help you understand the ideas and master the skills in each
lesson. They will also help you improve the way you communicate your ideas. The
support questions will prepare you for the key questions.

Write your answers to the support questions in your notebook. Do not submit these
answers for evaluation. You can check your answers against the suggested answers
that are given at the end of each unit.


Key Questions

The key questions evaluate your achievement of the expectations for the lesson. Your
answers will show how well you have understood the ideas and mastered the skills.
They will also show how well you communicate your ideas.

You must try all the key questions and complete most of them successfully in order to
pass each unit. Write your answers to the key questions on your own paper and submit
them for evaluation at the end of each unit. Make sure each lesson number and
question is clearly labeled on your submitted work.

Mid-term and Final Examination

In this course there is a mid-term and final exam. These exams will incorporate the four
learning categories knowledge and understanding, application, communication, and
thinking and inquiry.

Lesson One Concepts

Similar triangle notation
Interior angle property of similar triangles
Proportionate side property of similar triangle

Similar Triangles

Similar triangles are triangles that have the same shape but not necessarily the same
size.

For a two triangles to be considered similar either one of two properties must apply.



This is the standard notation used for showing two triangles are similar to one another
ABC XYZ. The order of the first three letters in not important, but what is important
is that each of the first three letters corresponds with its matching letter from the other
triangle.
