Grade 10 Essential Mathematics

Course Overview

Grade 10 Essential Mathematics learners in the full course will develop critical-thinking skills by analyzing puzzles and games involving spatial reasoning. They will develop spatial sense through direct and indirect measurement, and they will demonstrate an understanding of the Système International (SI) and the American and British imperial systems by describing the relationships for units of length, area, volume, capacity, and mass. Learners will convert units of measurements between all systems, and they will manipulate and apply formulas involving perimeter and area. They will develop spatial sense relating to triangles by demonstrating an understanding of manipulating and applying formulas related to the Pythagorean theorem and the primary trigonometric ratios, as well as an understanding of transformations, angles, and lines. Learners will demonstrate an understanding of employment earnings by calculating gross and net pay, as well as manipulating and applying formulas related to income. They will develop skills to make informed consumer decisions using proportional reasoning involving unit pricing and currency exchange.

Guiding Principles for the Design of Learning Experiences and Assessment Practices

The Guiding Principles for the Design of Learning Experiences and Assessment Practices provide guidance to all Manitoba educators as they design learning experiences and classroom assessments to strengthen, extend, and expand student learning. Planning with the learner, the context, and the curricula in mind creates opportunities for the co-construction of inclusive learning experiences and assessment practices where the diverse learning needs, abilities, and interests of each learner are met.

Assessment for and as learning involve learners in the process and support learner reflection; assessment of learning (commonly known as summative evaluation) measures final outcomes. All aspects, when done well, contribute to informed teaching and reliable judgment of learner progress.

Guiding Principles for Evaluation and Reporting

The Guiding Principles for Evaluation and Reporting are currently still under development and not yet available. When completed, a notification will be added to the Manitoba Framework for Learning “What’s New?” page on the website.
