MFM1P1
COURSE NAME / Applied Mathematics / GRADE / 9COURSE CODE / MFM1P1 / CREDIT VALUE / 1.0
TEACHER / Mr. Krasnewych / DEPARTMENT / Mathematics
PREREQUISITE / None
COURSE DESCRIPTION: / This course enables students to develop an understanding of mathematical concepts related to introductory algebra, proportional reasoning, and measurement and geometry through investigation, the effective use of technology, and hands-on activities. Students will investigate real-life examples to develop various representations of linear relations, 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.
OVERALL EXPECTATIONS: /

Mathematics Department Policies
Absences: Daily attendance and punctuality are essential if you are to receive maximum benefit from this course. If you are absent from class, you are responsible for the work, tests and assignments missed. When you return to class after an absence, you must present a note to explain the absence (date, reason and signature). If you will be away from class for an extended period of time, please inform your subject teacher and ask for school work during your absence.
Homework: Homework will be assigned on a regular basis. Its consistent completion is an indication of your willingness to accept responsibility, to set priorities, and to manage your time effectively.
Assignments: If work is handed in late, your teacher may inform you that the work will be delayed in its return. If the work is handed in after the assignment is already returned, or if the work is completed at such a time that it is no longer relevant, your teacher may refuse to accept it.
Missed Tests: You will be notified of major tests in advance. If you cannot avoid missing a test, please inform your teacher in advance. For an unexpected absence, you must leave a message for your teacher in the Mathematics Department at (416) 395-3240 Ext. 20080, and then see your teacher to make an alternate arrangement in the morning on the day you return. Without prior or same day notice to your subject teacher, you may not be allowed to rewrite the test(s) you have missed. Your teacher will request a doctor’s note for your absence in case of illness before allowing you to rewrite the test(s).
