Course Code: MPM1D

General Information

This is a grade 9 course. This course is is a Mathematics course, and more information can be found at the Math, Business and Computer Science department. Prerequisites: None.

Course Description

This course enables students to develop understanding of mathematical concepts related to algebra, analytic geometry, and measurement and geometry through investigation, the effective use of technology, and abstract reasoning. Students will investigate relationships which they will then generalize as equations of lines and will determine the connections between different representations of a relationship. They will also explore relationships that emerge from the measurement of three-dimensional objects and two-dimensional shapes. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems. Successful completion of this course prepares students for Principles of Mathematics, Grade 10, Academic (MPM2D) or Foundations of Mathematics, Grade 10, Applied (MFM2P). Learning through abstract reasoning is an important aspect of this course.

By the end of this course, students will:

  • demonstrate an understanding of the exponent rules of multiplication and division, and apply them to simplify expressions;
  • manipulate numerical and polynomial expressions, and solve first-degree equations.
  • apply data-management techniques to investigate relationships between two variables;
  • demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics of a linear relation;
  • connect various representations of a linear relation.
  • determine the relationship between the form of an equation and the shape of its graph with respect to linearity and non-linearity;
  • determine, through investigation, the properties of the slope and y-intercept of a linear relation;
  • solve problems involving linear relations.
  • determine, through investigation, the optimal values of various measurements;
  • solve problems involving the measurements of two-dimensional shapes and the surface areas and volumes of three-dimensional figures;
  • verify, through investigation facilitated by dynamic geometry software, geometric properties and relationships involving two-dimensional shapes, and apply the results to solving problems.

 

 

This course is an academic course, which focuses on the general concepts of this discipline and explores related concepts as well. This course uses abstract and theoretical applications of essential concepts and incorporates pratical applications when appropriate. This emphasis on theory and abstract thinking acts as a basis for futher problem solving.
