- defines key terms
MathWorks 10 focuses on mathematics that you will use in the
workplace, especially if you are planning to apprentice for a trade,
take a college course, or enter the workplace directly after
graduation from secondary school. Several of the chapters focus
on consumer and business mathematics. Others concentrate on
mathematics that will be essential knowledge for specific trades
and occupations.
The textbook contains seven chapters, each focused on a
particular topic:
- unit pricing and currency exchange
- earning an income
- linear and area measurements
- temperature, mass and volume measurements
- angles and parallel lines
- similar figures
- trigonometry
Each chapter contains the following features:
- Chapter Introduction
- Chapter Project
- Math on the Job
- Explore the Math
- Discuss the Ideas
- Activities
- Build Your Skills
- Puzzle It Out
- The Roots of Math
- Reflect on Your Learning/Practice Your New Skills
- Hints
- Definitions
- Mental Math and Estimation
- Answer Key

tools to assist you or to enhance your work.
The Program of Studies for Mathematics 10-3 (2010) is divided
into four major topics:
- Measurement
- Geometry
- Number
- Algebra
Extra Help
I am available for extra help before, during, and after the
regular school day. If a student would like extra help, the it is to
be made by appointment.
It is the RESPONSIBILITY of the student to request extra help.
This is your education and you need to be a
key player in your success!!
On occasion, it will be an ACADEMIC REQUIREMENT for
students to come for extra help/make up work/missing
assignments.
This is an EXPECTATION of the
Mathematics 10-3 classroom.
I will do my best to “work around” other time commitments
e.g.: after school job, but ultimately students will need to
rearrange their personal schedules.
Keys to Success:
1) Regular Attendance
- this means attending class ON TIME, EVERYDAY!!!!
- being PREPARED with the necessary materials (pencil/pen,
eraser, calculator, textbook, workbook, paper, binder, ruler, etc..
as required)
2) Awake and Alert and READY TO LEARN!!!!
- please make sure that you are well rested and have eaten a
healthy meal/snack before coming to class
- this also means that you need to be prepared to stay in the
classroom for the entire 80 minutes; learning!
- you will be required to work on assignments until the class is
dismissed
- if you require refreshments, you are allowed a water bottle
(with water only) in class
- breaks are for going to the bathroom, snacks, and getting ready
for the next class – please use the time wisely
- you will NOT be permitted to leave the classroom for the
above mentioned reasons (unless absolutely necessary e.g.:
Medical reasons, illness, etc..)
Failure to be prepared for class both mentally and physically
will result in removal from the classroom.
3) Communication with home
- I will try my best to keep the web page updated with
assignments and exams.
- Parents are welcome and encouraged to phone and/or email with
concerns or questions. Parent teacher interviews occur twice a
year (November and March).
- I will be phoning home on occasion to update parents regarding
academics and behavior; good and bad!
- Several times each semester, I will be sending home with
students an update in regards to assignments, marks and missing
assignments.
4) Redos and Missing Assignments
- Students have the opportunity to “redo” and/or finish missing
assignments as agreed upon by the teacher and student.
- Deadline for redos and missing assignments is two weeks prior
to each official report card.
