Math 10C Course Outline
Objectives
Math is something that does not stop when we leave school. It permeates most
things you do in life, from purchasing things to making things. This course will try
it get you to think through problems and provide tools you can use to solve them
with, assuming you wish to.
Course Outline
Math 10C will consist of the following 4 major strands, mainly split into 22 classes each. The time frame may change a bit depending on the class:
Measurement
•Trigonometry
•Measurement Systems
•Surface Area and Volume
Algebra and Numbers
•Exponents and Radicals
•Polynomials
Relations and Functions
•Linear Relations and Functions
•Linear Equations and Graphs
Systems of Equations

Homework & Assignments
You can expect homework on most nights unless you use your time very wisely
in class. Homework assignments are the most effective way to study for quizzes
and exams. Homework should be taken seriously.
If you miss class, it is YOUR responsibility to find out what was missed during
your absence. Homework will increase your chances of doing well in this course.
To re-emphasize, if you missed a class, you are REQUIRED to complete the
assignment that you have missed or a mark of zero will be recorded for that
assignment missed. You will be afforded opportunities to make up the missed
work, but if you do not get it done when given the opportunity, the mark will be
recorded as a ZERO.
Expectations
• Students are expected to attend all classes and repeated absences can
hurt your marks.
• If you do not wish to participate in your learning, please have the courtesy
not to disrupt some one else’s learning.
• Be respectful of all and life will be great in class.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES:
Student evaluation will include assessment for learning as well as assessment of
learning. This will provide students with an opportunity for feedback, thus
encouraging students to address weaker areas and be better prepared for major
evaluations.
Evaluation is on a cumulative basis and it is important that student work be kept
up-to-date. Students are expected to complete all assignments, to keep notes
up-to-date and to review the objectives covered in class. Assignments are a
daily event. As much class time as possible will be provided for work, but
students should be prepared to spend additional time completing assignments as
well as preparing for quizzes and exams.
At Beiseker Community School, it is our belief that a student's grade should
demonstrate and reflect the student’s knowledge. To this end, we will do our
best to avoid assigning a mark of zero on a task or assignment. However, if after
attempts such as: phone calls home, email home, Powerschool notification,
study hall referral, tutorials, adapted programming, administrative referral,
etc, have been attended to and the student has still not complied, then an
incomplete or failing grade may be applied. Students excusably absent from
class are expected to catch up in a timely manner.
