MBF 3C1: FOUNDATIONS FOR COLLEGE MATHEMATICS,
COLLEGE, GRADE 11

Description:

This course enables students to broaden their understanding of mathematics as a problem solving tool in the real world. Students will extend their understanding of quadratic relations; investigate situations involving exponential growth; solve problems involving compound interest; solve financial problems connected with vehicle ownership; develop their ability to reason by collecting, analysing, and evaluating data involving one variable; connect probability and statistics; and solve problems in geometry and trigonometry. Students will consolidate their mathematical skills as they solve problems and communicate their thinking.

Overall Expectations

Mathematical Models

make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of quadratic relations, and use the connections to solve problems;
demonstrate an understanding of exponents, and make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of exponential relations;
describe and represent exponential relations, and solve problems involving exponential relations arising from real-world applications.

Personal Finance

compare simple and compound interest, relate compound interest to exponential growth, and solve problems involving compound interest;
compare services available from financial institutions, and solve problems involving the cost of making purchases on credit;
interpret information about owning and operating a vehicle, and solve problems involving the associated costs.

Geometry & Trigonometry

represent, in a variety of ways, two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional figures arising from real-world applications, and solve design problems;
solve problems involving trigonometry in acute triangles using the sine law and the cosine law, including problems arising from real-world applications.

Data Management

solve problems involving one-variable data by collecting, organizing, analysing, and evaluating data;
determine and represent probability, and identify and interpret its applications.
