Course Description:

Mathematics is one way of understanding, interpreting and describing our world. It has application in the sciences,
economics, business, engineering, medicine, the trades and daily life just to name a few areas. The main goals of
mathematics education are to prepare students to:
• solve problems and communicate and reason mathematically
• make connections between mathematics and its applications
• become mathematically literate 
and appreciate and value mathematics

Students who have met these goals will have gained an understanding and appreciation of the role of mathematics
in society, exhibit a positive attitude toward mathematics and engage with persevere in mathematical problem
solving. In order to assist students in attaining these goals, teachers will provide opportunities for students to take
risks, think independently, share and communicate their mathematical understanding and exhibit curiosity about
mathematics and the disciplines broader applications to the real world.

Grade 10 Math is a de-tracked course where students will be granted credit in one of the above courses based
upon their demonstration of the curricular outcomes. For more detailed information about specific curricular
outcomes, please refer to Program of Studies for each Math Course.

Course Materials and Resources:

Students will have access to the Mathematics 10 textbook in class, and will require a geometry set, a binder with
lined and graph paper, pencils, eraser, a metric/imperial ruler (30cm and 12 in), and several duotangs. Students
will also require an approved graphing calculator. We recommend the Texas Instrument TI-83+ or 84 and
classroom instruction will be given for this model only. Please check with your teacher for more information.
