THE ONTARIO CURRICULUM: Mathematics

MPM1D online 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. In MPM1D online, students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.

UNIT ONE

Rational Numbers
Essential Question: What are the differences between different types of numbers?
  • In this unit, students will learn how to relate rational numbers to decimals, fractions, and integers. Students will also learn how to evaluate expressions involving rational numbers.

UNIT TWO

Powers and Polynomials
Essential Question: How do we represent polynomials in different forms using exponents?
  • In this unit, students will learn how to represent polynomials geometrically, simplify polynomial expressions using exponents and other mathematical principles, add and subtract polynomials, multiply polynomials by monomials.

UNIT THREE

Linear Relations
Essential Question: Why do we learn about lines (word problem related)?
  • In this unit, students will learn how to describe properties of linear relations, recognize whether a relation is linear or nonlinear from a table of values, a graph, an algebraic expression, or a written description. Students will also learn to create different representations of linear and nonlinear relations.

UNIT FOUR

Linear Equations
Essential Question: How do we solve linear equations using variety of strategies?
  • In this unit, students will solve linear equations using a variety of strategies. Students will rearrange linear equations and formulas and find the point of intersection of two linear relations using a graph.

UNIT FIVE

Analytic Geometry
Essential Question: Where do we use geometry in everyday life?
  • In this unit, students will find the slope of a line, find the equation of a line and find the equations of parallel and perpendicular lines.

UNIT SIX

Investigating Relationships
Essential Question: How do we describe relationships between data?
  • In this unit, students will use a scatter plot to analyze data and draw a line or curve of best fit. Students will find the equation of the line of best fit and find trends or patterns in the data and make conjectures. Students will also use graphs to describe situations like displacement over time.

UNIT SEVEN

Properties of 2-D Figures
Essential Question: How do we investigate and create different polygons?
  • In this unit, students will investigate and apply the properties of interior and exterior angles of polygons. Students will investigate and apply the properties of the diagonals of polygons and line segments created using the midpoints of sides of polygons. Students will create and test conjectures, and give supporting examples or counterexamples.

UNIT EIGHT

Measurement
Essential Question: How is optimization related to various 2-D measurements?
  • In this unit, students will learn how to find the area, surface area, and the volume of various shapes, such as trapezoids, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, and spheres. Students will also learn how to optimize area and volume.

CULMINATING PROJECT

20% of Final Grade
  • This project is one of the final evaluation of MPM1D online. This project will assess students knowledge of concepts taught in the course and is worth 20% of their final grade.

FINAL EXAM

Proctored Exam
10% of Final Grade
  • This exam is the final evaluation of MPM1D online. Students need to arrange their final exam 10 days in advance. All coursework should be completed and submitted before writing the final exam, please be advised that once the exam is written, any outstanding coursework will be given a grade of zero.
  • Please consult our Frequently Asked Questions Page or the Exam section within your course for details on exam proctoring options.

Though our physical doors remain temporarily closed, the minds of our students stay open. Summer classes are continuing to meet on their regular daily schedules, in virtual classrooms with face-to-face instruction and peer interaction.  The Blyth Academy model of small class sizes, flexible scheduling and individualized approach have enabled us to remain faithful to our standards. Our commitment to ongoing and meaningful communication between school, teachers, students and families has been critical to this effort.

Although our students have transitioned into summer mode and COVID-19 restrictions have begun to loosen, we are looking ahead to what September will hold for our campuses and families.
We want to be clear - our preference and our priority is to get students back to our campuses, but we must ensure this is done in a safe and effective way. While we await official guidance from Public Health and the Ministry of Education, a "return to school" task force has been hard at work putting concrete operational plans in place for all likely scenarios. This includes a full return to campus with safeguards, a blended model of virtual and in-campus learning and the continuation of fully virtual classrooms. All scenarios will provide robust learning and live, daily instruction and interaction with teachers and peers. 
With ten campuses across Ontario, we realize that each one of our schools is a unique space and community. We will be implementing across-the-board policies on hand washing, facility cleaning and social distancing measures. Each school is also prepared to pivot individually based on the guidance of local health authorities and to best serve students and families. 
Our recent survey showed that over 80 per cent of Blyth Academy families are eager to return to campuses, and we are hard at work to prepare for this day. As September's scenario becomes clearer and more information becomes available, we will continue to communicate.
