Alberta math, Grades 9–12
The official outcomes for each course, straight from Alberta's program of studies, and which Not Cooked unit teaches each one.
Math 10-3
Practical mathematics for work and everyday life: measurement, geometry, trigonometry, purchasing and income.
Measurement
General outcome: Develop spatial sense through direct and indirect measurement.
- M1
Demonstrate an understanding of the Système International (SI) by: describing the relationships of the units for length, area, volume, capacity, mass and temperature; applying strategies to convert SI units to imperial units.
- M2
Demonstrate an understanding of the imperial system by: describing the relationships of the units for length, area, volume, capacity, mass and temperature; comparing the American and British imperial units for capacity; applying strategies to convert imperial units to SI units.
- M3
Solve and verify problems that involve SI and imperial linear measurements, including decimal and fractional measurements.
- M4
Solve problems that involve SI and imperial area measurements of regular, composite and irregular 2-D shapes and 3-D objects, including decimal and fractional measurements, and verify the solutions.
Geometry
General outcome: Develop spatial sense.
- G1
Analyze puzzles and games that involve spatial reasoning, using problem-solving strategies.
- G2
Demonstrate an understanding of the Pythagorean theorem by: identifying situations that involve right triangles; verifying the formula; applying the formula; solving problems.
- G3
Demonstrate an understanding of similarity of convex polygons, including regular and irregular polygons.
- G4
Demonstrate an understanding of primary trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent) by: applying similarity to right triangles; generalizing patterns from similar right triangles; applying the primary trigonometric ratios; solving problems.
- G5
Solve problems that involve parallel, perpendicular and transversal lines, and pairs of angles formed between them.
- G6
Demonstrate an understanding of angles, including acute, right, obtuse, straight and reflex, by: drawing; replicating and constructing; bisecting; solving problems.
Number
General outcome: Develop number sense and critical thinking skills.
- N1
Solve problems that involve unit pricing and currency exchange, using proportional reasoning.
- N2
Demonstrate an understanding of income, including: wages; salary; contracts; commissions; piecework to calculate gross pay and net pay.
Algebra
General outcome: Develop algebraic reasoning.
- A1
Solve problems that require the manipulation and application of formulas related to: perimeter; area; the Pythagorean theorem; primary trigonometric ratios; income.
