Mathematics 10C - Course Outline

Semester 2, 2021-2022

Teachers Classroom Email

Mr. Wehnes 309 gjwehnes@cbe.ab.ca

Mathematics 10C is the starting point for the “-1” course sequence and the “-2” course sequence.
Each topic area requires that students develop a conceptual knowledge base and skill set that will
be useful to whatever course sequence they have chosen. The topics covered within a course
sequence are meant to build upon previous knowledge and to progress from simple to more
complex conceptual understandings.

Assessments throughout the semester:

For each Specific Outcome, the Unit Exams are worth a minimum of 70% of each unit.
Assignments and Quizzes will make up the remaining percentage.

The Final Mark will be calculated as follows:

 Specific Outcomes Assessments: 55%
 Multi-Outcomes Assessments (Cumulative Exams and Final Exams): 45%

The schedules for Math Tutorials in English, French, and Spanish are Monday – Thursday 8:20 –
9:00 AM in the Learning Commons.

You are responsible for catching up on any missed work. If you miss a test/quiz you are
responsible for catching up immediately. Please take advantage of tutorials and/or notes on D2L
before returning to class.
Study Tools
Extra practice: The Mathematics 10C Key Book (optional) is available for purchase at the school
for $20.

Students should read and be familiar with the following:

A students progress in the course and their post-secondary interests combined with a teacher
recommendation will be used to determine whether a student should pursue Math 20-1 or Math
20-2 next year. Students and Parents are encouraged to research the admission requirements
of their program of interest.

Next Steps and

Math 20-1 is intended for admission into post-secondary programs which require the study of
Recommendations
Calculus. A minimum mark of 70% in Math 10C is recommended for Math 20-1.

Math 20-2 is intended for admission into programs that do not require the study of Calculus.
