Important Notice: At ISN we value the input of our learning partners, these expectations will be constantly updated to include learning partner ideas into the curriculum.
Expectations:
UNIT 1: Algebra
(a) Learning partners will continue to review and expand on their knowledge of Expressions, Equations and Inequalities. They will:
(i) Revise first term material including basic multiplication and division, order of operations, and simplifying algebraic expressions
(ii) Construct and solve linear equations with several methods, including trial and improvement, flow diagrams, distribution, combining like terms, and balancing both sides of an equation
(iii) Evaluate quadratic and cubic expressions and use a graphing calculator to view transformations of these functions
(iv) Comprehend inequality signs, including and use to represent the solution set on a number line
(b) Learning partners will continue to review and expand on their knowledge of Graphing. They will:
(i) Review plotting ordered pairs on the Cartesian coordinate plane
(ii) Construct tables of values to plot graphs of functions
(iii) Utilize slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, to graph straight lines
(iv) Find the gradient, or slope, of a straight-line graph
(v) Identify if a slope is positive, negative, horizontal (0), or vertical (undefined)
(vi) Interpret graphs of linear functions from real-world situations and plot equations with a graphing calculator
(c) Learning partners will continue to review and expand on their knowledge of Sequences. They will:
(i) Recognise when two quantities are directly proportional
(ii) Comprehend number patterns, including term-to-term and position-to-term rules
UNIT 2: Geometry
(a) Learning partners will continue to review and expand on their knowledge of Shapes and Angle Properties. They will:
(i) Measure and construct angles using a protractor
(ii) Identify acute, obtuse, and right angles
(iii) Understand supplementary and complementary angles, and use to find missing angle measures
(iv) Identify parallel and perpendicular lines
(v) Use angle properties of equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles, as well as acute, obtuse, and right triangles
(vi) Prove that the exterior angles of any polygon sum to 360o
(vii) Use the formula (n – 2)180 to find the sum of the angles of any polygon
(viii) Know the terms for all polygons up to 12 sides, including a triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, septagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon, and dodecagon
(b) Learning partners will continue to review and expand on their knowledge of Space. They will:
(i) Calculate area and perimeter for 2D shapes, including quadrilaterals, and triangles
(ii) Understand how π was discovered
(iii) Identify the radius, diameter, circumference and area for circles
(iv) Calculate surface area and volume for cuboids, cylinders, and prisms
(v) Construct numerous shapes using a compass and straight edge
(vi) Transform 2D shapes with rotations, reflections, translations, and enlargements
(vii) Construct nets of 3D shapes, such as a cuboid, tetrahedron, prism, and pyramid
(c) Learning partners will continue to review and expand on their knowledge of Measures. They will:
(i) Convert one metric unit to another
(ii) Convert currencies to other currencies
(iii) Calculate basic problems in finance with simple interest and discount
