This course builds on students’ previous experience with functions and their developing understanding of rates of change. Students will solve problems involving geometric and algebraic representations of vectors and representations of lines and planes in three dimensional space; broaden their understanding of rates of change to include the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational, and radical functions; and apply these concepts and skills to the modelling of real-world relationships. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended for students who choose to pursue careers in fields such as science, engineering, economics, and some areas of business, including those students who will be required to take a university-level calculus, linear algebra, or physics course.

Assessment and evaluation will be based on provincial curriculum expectations and will incorporate the four categories of the Provincial Achievement Chart with approximately the following weightings:
 * ASSESSMENT & EVALUATION: **

· quizzes · assignments || · problem solving · problem posing · applying mathematical models || · appropriate use of mathematical language & symbols · individual or group presentations · journals || · investigations · construction of mathematical models · problem solving ||
 * Knowledge & Understanding || Application || Communication || Thinking, Inquiry & Problem Solving ||
 * 25% || 25% || 25% || 25% ||
 * · tests

__ Term and Class work __ – 70% This mark includes work that is done through the term in class. It will consist of tests, quizzes, assignments, individual and group projects.

__ Final Evaluation __ - 30% This mark will consist of a summative project and the final exam.

· Notify your teacher in advance if you are going to be absent · On your return to class, provide proof that the absence was legitimate · Arrange to make up missed work or tests immediately upon your return · A substitute assignment may be required at the discretion of your teacher
 * ABSENCES: **

· Reviewing the day’s work, completing homework and studying the concepts taught should be done daily · More study time is needed when preparing for a test or exam
 * HOMEWORK: **
