Secondary Math 3H (Period 5)

In Secondary Math 3H, we will focus on conceptualizing, analyzing, and identifying relationships between functions as well as using mathematical language and notation correctly. This course builds on concepts learned in Secondary Math 2H, by extending linear algebra and coordinate geometry concepts to other functions and systems of equations. Students will develop proficiency in analyzing and solving quadratic functions, including those with complex solutions. Students will investigate absolute value, radical, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions algebraically, numerically, and graphically. Students will extend their algebraic skills to compute with rational expressions and rational exponents. Students will analyze statistical data and apply concepts of probability using permutations and combinations. The material in this class will help you improve your critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, prepare for college entrance examinations, and will give you a solid foundation for future math classes. I firmly believe that all students are capable of succeeding in this class, but success requires participation, dedication, and organization. It is important that students ask questions, take notes, complete all assignments, and participate in class activities.
