Grade 10 Essential Mathematics Half Course II

Course Overview

Grade 10 Essential Mathematics learners in Half Course II will develop critical-thinking skills by analyzing puzzles and games involving spatial reasoning. 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, and they will demonstrate an understanding of transformations, angles, and lines. Learners will develop skills to make informed consumer decisions using proportional reasoning involving unit pricing and currency exchange. They will also develop spatial sense by demonstrating an understanding of transformations, angles, and lines.

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.
