Mathematics 10 is an academic course offer= ed primarily for those intending to enter university or other post-secondary institutions. This will require regular attendan= ce, regular completion of assigned work, and consistent effort. Math 10 is an outcomes-based cours= e that continues to build on the Math skills established in Math 9. It is essential for students to ha= ve a reasonably strong background of basic math skills to be successful in this course. Students who passed Math 9 with a 75% or higher should probably take this course. Students who passed Math 9 with a = mark between 60% and 75% should realize that they may be missing some background content for this course and will need to spend additional time in study and review if they are to be successful in obtaining this credit. Problem solving, applicatio= ns, and technology will be used complete the outcomes.

Journals will only be accepted on = the due date as they are a check of regularly assigned homework.

QU= IZZES/TESTS: If you are absent for a quiz/test, you should be prepared to write a make-up quiz/test at lunch on the day you return if an acceptable written excuse= is provided. If an acceptable excuse is not provided, then that quiz/test w= ill count as zero. Your dates are known well in advance, so please avoid making appointments on quiz/test days, if possible.
