Assistant Curriculum Leader: Credit Value: One (1) Credit
Prerequisite: MPM2D: Principles of Mathematics, Grade 10 Academic

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course introduces the mathematical concept of the function by extending students’ experiences
with linear and quadratic relations. Students will investigate properties of discrete and continuous
functions, including trigonometric and exponential functions; represent functions numerically,
algebraically, and graphically; solve problems involving applications of functions; investigate inverse
functions; and develop facility in determining equivalent algebraic expressions. Students will reason
mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.

COMMUNICATION OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

Student progress and achievement are communicated to the students on an on-going basis through:
interim progress reports, student-teacher conferences, verbal/written feedbacks, daily practices,
formative assessments, and summative evaluations.
Learning is the responsibility of the students. If students experience any kind of difficulty with their
studies, access to remedial help is available from the teacher by arrangement.
A student may contact the teacher regarding any concern or issue about progress and achievement in
person (preferably by appointment), via email: daniele.marinelli@tdsb.on.ca.

ASSESSMENT/EVALUATION
The assessment/evaluation in this course may consist of a combination of the following:
▪ Mini-Tests/Tests ▪ Notebook ▪ Projects/Presentations
▪ Assignments ▪ Culminating Activity ▪ Written Exam

Policy on Missed Tests/Quizzes and Late Assignments:

If a student is absent the day of an evaluation, then the student must provide written documentation
explaining his/her absence. In most cases, this will be in the form of a doctor’s note. An alternate
time to write the evaluation will be agreed upon by the teacher and student. Failure to produce
written documentation explaining absence will result in a mark of 0%.

Late assignments are subject to a late penalty of a up to 5% per day, up to a maximum of 10%.
