Math (MTH1W)

This unit guides students in exploring the relationships between various number systems, their cultural development, and practical uses. Expanding on their knowledge of positive fractions, positive decimals, and integers, students will now venture into the realm of negative fractions and negative decimal numbers. The unit also enhances their skills in understanding percentages, ratios, rates, and proportions, linking these concepts more closely with real-world applications.

This unit delves deeper into algebra, bridging the gap between algebraic principles and numerical concepts. Students will generalize relationships using algebraic expressions and equations. They will apply their coding abilities to create dynamic representations, analyze mathematical concepts, and tackle problems in diverse contexts. The focus is on introducing different forms of linear and nonlinear relationships, laying the foundation for advanced studies in future secondary mathematics courses. Key concepts like the constant rate of change and initial values in linear relationships will be explored, equipping students to apply these ideas in solving real-world challenges.

This unit takes students on a journey from fundamental data collection and analysis to a comprehensive project. They will carry out a survey, analyze the outcomes, and actively create and evaluate a mathematical model based on the data they gather.

This unit focuses on students learning about different measurement systems and mastering the factor label method for unit conversions. They will also delve into geometric relationships, particularly examining the volume variations between pyramids and prisms, and between cones and cylinders.

In this module, students will expand their financial literacy by delving into topics like asset appreciation and depreciation. They will gain insights into how to adjust budgets based on changing financial situations. Additionally, students will examine the impact of varying interest rates, down payments, and other factors when making financial decisions. The unit encourages students to apply knowledge from different areas to solve practical financial problems.

The concluding examination will be supervised and contribute to 30% of the overall grade.
