Sir Robert Borden High School
MAP4C:Grade 12 Foundations for College MathematicsCourse Outline 2017
Teacher:Ms. Robb
Textbook:Foundations for College Mathematics 12 (Pearson)
Prerequisite:One of: MCR3U, MCF3M, or MBF3C
Evaluation:
The final mark has two components: term work (70%) and summative evaluation (30%). The summative evaluation occurs near the end of the course, and will include a final examination and may include a performance task. Attendance is mandatory for both of these evaluations
Major Topics:
-Unit 1: Trigonometry and Geometry
-Unit 2: Two-Variable Data and Statistical Literacy
-Unit 3: Graphical and Algebraic Models
-Unit 4: Annuities, Mortgages and Budgets
Expectations:Students will be expected to display a willingness to learn as evidenced byregular attendance, punctuality, consistent work habits and regular homework completion.
Students are responsible for all work assigned. If absent -> see Ms Robb’s website(wiki).
Materials:Students are expected to bring the following to every class: notebook and textbook, calculator, pencils/pens, ruler, and graph paper as required.
Group Work:Students may be required to work in small groups therefore regular attendance and punctualityareextremely important to support your peers and to do your fair share of work so you may be accurately evaluated.
Unit Test Policy:You are expected to be present on test day. If you know that you will be absent on test day, it is your responsibility to inform your teacher prior to that day.If you are absent on test day bring a note to justify your absence.
Notebooks:A three ring binder is required for this course to place all assignments, tests and handouts. A complete notebook is essential to succeed in this course.
Calculators:A scientific calculator is required. Students will be allowed to use calculators on assignments, tests and exams unless otherwise stated. Students will not be allowed to share calculators during tests or examinations
Extra Help:Students are encouraged to inform the teacher of difficulties and seek assistance when needed from their teacher. Help can be arranged on an individual basis with the teacher. In addition, the math department has regularly scheduled extra help through the M.O.B. in Room 241 after school Monday through Thursday starting at 3:30 pm.
