OCDSB SUMMER SCHOOL

Math
COURSE NAME: Grade 11 Functions; University
COURSE CODE: MCR3U
LOCATION: John McCrae Secondary School, 103 Malvern Dr, Nepean ROOM 324
DATE & TIME: Thursday, July 2 to Friday, July 24 2013 8:30 a.m. to 3:35 p.m.
TEACHER: Brynn Rees
COURSE OVERVIEW: 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.
Prerequisite: Principles of Mathematics, Grade 10, Academic
Course Strands & Overall Expectations:
A. CHARACTERISTICS OF FUNCTIONS
A1. demonstrate an understanding of functions, their representations, and their inverses, and make
connections between the algebraic and graphical representations of functions using transformations;
A2. determine the zeros and the maximum or minimum of a quadratic function, and solve problems
involving quadratic functions, including problems arising from real-world applications;
A3. demonstrate an understanding of equivalence as it relates to simplifying polynomial, radical, and
rational expressions.
B. EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS
B1. evaluate powers with rational exponents, simplify expressions containing exponents, and describe
properties of exponential functions represented in a variety of ways;
B2. make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of exponential
functions;
B3. identify and represent exponential functions, and solve problems involving exponential functions,
including problems arising from real-world applications.
C. DISCRETE FUNCTIONS
C1. demonstrate an understanding of recursive sequences, represent recursive sequences in a variety of
ways, and make connections to Pascals triangle;
C2. demonstrate an understanding of the relationships involved in arithmetic and geometric sequences
and series, and solve related problems;
C3. make connections between sequences, series, and nancial applications, and solve problems
involving compound interest and ordinary annuities.
D. TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS
D1. determine the values of the trigonometric ratios for angles less than 360; prove simple trigonometric
identities; and solve problems using the primary trigonometric ratios, the sine law, and the cosine law;
D2. demonstrate an understanding of periodic relationships and sinusoidal functions, and make
connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of sinusoidal functions;
D3. identify and represent sinusoidal functions, and solve problems involving sinusoidal functions,
including problems arising from real-world applications.

ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION:

The report card grade represents a students achievement of the overall curriculum expectations, as
demonstrated to that point in time. Determining a report card grade will involve the teachers professional
judgement and interpretation of all available evidence (student products, observations, as well as
conversations) and should reflect the students most consistent level of achievement, with special
consideration given to more recent evidence.
Students will be evaluated using levels as outlined below:
Level 4
Level 3
Level 2
Level 1
R

Sophisticated and thorough achievement of expectations (80 100%)

Achieved the expectations (70 79%)
Approaching the expectations (60 69%)
Limited understanding of concepts (50 59%)
Remedial- additional learning required before expectation is met (below 50%)

The final grade will be based on:
