COURSE NAME: Grade 11 Functions; University
COURSE CODE: MCR3U
LOCATION: John McCrae Secondary School, 103 Malvern Dr, Nepean ROOM 324
DATE & TIME: Thursday, July 2 to Friday, July 24 2013 8:30 a.m. to 3:35 p.m.
TEACHER: Brynn Rees
COURSE OVERVIEW: This course introduces the mathematical concept of the function by extending
students experiences with linear and quadratic relations. Students will investigate properties of discrete
and continuous functions, including trigonometric and exponential functions; represent functions
numerically, algebraically, and graphically; solve problems involving applications of functions; investigate
inverse functions; and develop facility in determining equivalent algebraic expressions. Students will
reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.
Prerequisite: Principles of Mathematics, Grade 10, Academic
