Math Standard Summary:
The study of mathematics is a fundamental part of a balanced education. It promotes a powerful universal language, analytical reasoning and problem-solving skills that contribute to the development of logical, abstract and critical thinking. Mathematics can help make sense of the world and allows phenomena to be described in precise terms. It also promotes careful analysis and the search for patterns and relationships, skills necessary for success both inside and outside the classroom.
MYP mathematics aims to equip all students with the knowledge, understanding and intellectual capabilities to address further courses in mathematics, as well as to prepare those students who will use mathematics in their workplaces and lives in general.
Units and topics:
|
Unit 1 - Number. What types of numbers are there?
|
Unit 3 - Geometry and Trigonometry. How accurately can we model the real world?
|
|
Unit 2 - Algebra. Where can we find patterns in real life?
|
Unit 4 - Statistics and Probability. Lies, damn lies and statistics!
|

Assessment Criteria
|
At the end of year 9, students should be able to:
|
|
A
|
Knowing and understanding
|
select appropriate mathematics when solving problems in both familiar and unfamiliar situations. Apply the selected mathematics successfully when solving problems. Solve problems correctly in a variety of contexts.
|
|
B
|
Investigating patterns
|
select and apply mathematical problem-solving techniques to discover complex patterns. Describe patterns as general rules consistent with findings. Prove, or verify and justify, general rules.
|
|
C
|
Communicating
|
use appropriate mathematical language (notation, symbols and terminology) in both oral and written explanations. Use appropriate forms of mathematical representation to present information. Move between different forms of mathematical representation. Communicate complete, coherent and concise mathematical lines of reasoning. Organize information using a logical structure.
|
|
D
|
Applying mathematics in real life contexts
|
identify relevant elements of authentic real-life situations. Select appropriate mathematical strategies when solving authentic real-life situations. Apply the selected mathematical strategies successfully to reach a solution. Justify the degree of accuracy of a solution. Justify whether a solution makes sense in the context of the authentic real-life situation.

Math Extended Summary:
Math Grade 10 Extended is a course which challenges the student to understand how topics in advanced algebra, trigonometry, and statistics work mathematically, and apply those concepts to areas outside of the classroom. Multiple solutions to equations, data analysis, and use of technology including a graphing calculator are all examples of what students will experience during this course. Student driven inquiry, exploration, and collaboration will be a focus.
Units and topics:
|
Unit 1 – Polynomial Functions
|
Unit 3 – Functions, Exponents, Logarithms
|
|
Unit 2 – Trigonometry
|
Unit 4 – Statistics
|
