Course
Description
This course enables students to develop an understanding of mathematical
concepts related to algebra, analytic geometry, and measurement and geometry
through investigation, the effective use of technology, and abstract
reasoning. Students will investigate relationships, which they will then
generalize as equations of lines, and will determine the connections
between different representations of a linear relation. They will also
explore relationships that emerge from the measurement of three-dimensional
figures and two-dimensional shapes. Students will reason mathematically and
communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.
Prerequisite: None.

Academic Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty includes practices such as plagiarism, cheating on
tests, examinations and assignments. Academic dishonesty may result in the
suspension of online privileges.
Plagiarism
When you borrow another writer's words and/ or ideas and include them in
your work, you must acknowledge this whether it is a direct quotation or a
restatement of an idea. Failure to do so is a form of academic dishonesty
known as plagiarism and will result in a mark of zero for the work
submitted.
Late Policy
All assignments have been given a due date. Please review "Module
Titles and Assignment Due Dates" in this document. If you know that
you will not be able to meet a given due date, contact your teacher in
advance of the final deadline to request an extension. Once the final
deadline has arrived, extensions will be granted for extenuating
circumstances only.
Reporting
Students will receive two formal reports. One will be issued mid-semester
and the other after the final examination.
