MFM2P – Foundations of Mathematics Unit 1 - Introduction

Grade 10 Mathematics (Applied)

Welcome to the Grade 10 Foundations of Mathematics, MFM 2P. This full-credit course is part of the new Ontario Secondary School curriculum. This course enables students to develop and understanding of the mathematical concepts related to introductory algebra, proportional reasoning, and measurement and geometry through investigation and the effective use of technology. Students will investigate real-life examples to develop various representations of linear relationships, and will determine the connections between the representations. They will also explore certain relationships that emerge from the measurement of three-dimensional figures and two-dimensional shapes. Students will consolidate their mathematical skills as they solve problems and communicate their thinking.

Materials

This course is self-contained and does not require a textbook. You will require lined paper, graph paper, a ruler, a scientific calculator and a writing utensil.

Expectations

The overall expectations you will cover in the lesson are listed on the first page of each lesson.

Lesson Description

Each lesson contains one or more concepts with each being followed by support questions. At the end of the lesson the key questions covering all concepts in the lesson are assigned and will be submitted for evaluation.

Evaluation

In each lesson, there are support questions and key questions. You will be evaluated on your answers to the key questions in each lesson, the mid-term exam and the final exam.

Support Questions

These questions will help you understand the ideas and master the skills in each lesson. They will also help you improve the way you communicate your ideas. The support questions will prepare you for the key questions.

MFM2P – Foundations of Mathematics Unit 1 - Introduction

Write your answers to the support questions in your notebook. Do not submit these answer for evaluation. You can check your answers against the suggested answers that are given at the end of each unit.

Key Questions The key questions evaluate your achievement of the expectations for the lesson. Your answers will show how well you have understood the ideas and mastered the skills. They will also show how well you communicate your ideas. You must try all the key questions and complete most of them successfully in order to pass each unit. Write your answers to the key questions on your own paper and submit them for evaluation at the end of each unit. Make sure each lesson number and question is clearly labeled on your submitted work. Mid-term and Final Examination In this course there is a mid-term and final exam. These exams will incorporate the four learning categories knowledge and understanding, application, communication, and thinking and inquiry.

Similar Triangles

Similar triangles are triangles that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.

For a two triangles to be considered similar either one of two properties must apply.

This is the standard notation used for showing two triangles are similar to one another ΔABC ≈ ΔXYZ. The order of the first three letters in not important, but what is important is that each of the first three letters corresponds with its matching letter from the other triangle.

Pythagorean Theorem The Pythagorean Theorem is one method used to calculate an unknown side of a right angle triangle if the other two side are known.

Since the formula for the area of a square is then to find the length of the a side of a square we square root the value of the area.

Trigonometry: The Tangent Ratio

The Tangent ratio can also be used calculate an unknown angle or and unknown side in a right triangle. To find the either of these unknowns the adjacent side and opposite sides are used from an angle of reference. Example Suppose we use ∠A as the angle of reference then:

Tangent always used the opposite and adjacent sides of a right triangle. Tangent Opposite Adjacent: TOA When ∠ A is an acute angle in a right triangle, then

Tan A = side Adjacentof Length
