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.
