APC20S: Intro to Applied & Pre-calculus Mathematics

Outline 2020
Welcome to Grade 10 Math!
Teacher: Ms. D’Antonio Email: rachel.dantonio@7oaks.org Room: 115

Textbook: Foundations and Pre-calculus Mathematics 10, Pearson

For each class you must have: pencil/pen, scientific calculator, notes booklet (supplied), binder with
extra paper, textbook

Objective

APC20S is a demanding course in which many of the concepts are a natural extension of topics covered in the
Grade 9 mathematics course. Additionally, this course integrates theoretical approaches to many of the topics to
prepare students for continuing into either Applied or Pre-calculus Math.

The Applied Mathematics pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical skills
identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require the study of theoretical calculus.

The Pre-calculus Mathematics pathway is designed to provide students with the skills identified for entry
into post-secondary programs that require the study of theoretical calculus. It is strongly recommended
that students maintain a mark of 70% or above in this course to ensure continued success in the Pre-
calculus stream of study.

7. Measurement (time permitting) wanting to come in!

Homework

Work assigned in class must be finished at home if it has not been completed during the period. Daily
assignment completion is the goal and is absolutely vital for success in mathematics. Homework checks will
occur on a regular basis. If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to find out what you missed so you can
complete it and receive marks for it.
All assignments and notes will be posted at 115math.weebly.com
