Grade 11 Applied Mathematics

Course Overview

Grade 11 Applied Mathematics learners will develop a spatial sense and a proportional reasoning involving the application of rates and scale diagrams, and they will demonstrate an understanding of the relationships among scale factors, areas, surface areas, and volumes of similar shapes and objects. They will develop a spatial sense as they derive proofs that involve the properties of angles and triangles, and they will apply the cosine law and the sine law. Learners will develop logical reasoning as they analyze and prove conjectures using inductive and deductive reasoning, and as they analyze puzzles and games that involve spatial reasoning. They will develop statistical reasoning involving the concepts of normal distribution and interpreting statistical data. Learners will develop algebraic and graphical reasoning through the study of relations involving systems of linear inequalities and demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics of quadratic functions. They will develop an appreciation of the role of mathematics in society by researching and giving a presentation on a mathematical historical event or an area of interest that involves mathematics.

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.

Learning Outcomes

General Learning Outcome: Develop spatial sense and proportional reasoning.

  • 11A.M.1. Solve problems that involve the application of rates.
    [CN, PS, R, T]

  • 11A.M.2. Solve problems that involve scale diagrams, using proportional reasoning.
    [CN, PS, R, T, V]

  • 11A.M.3. Demonstrate an understanding of the relationships among scale factors, areas, surface areas, and volumes of similar 2-D shapes and 3-D objects.
    [C, CN, PS, R, T, V]

General Learning Outcome: Develop spatial sense.

  • 11A.G.1. Derive proofs that involve the properties of angles and triangles.
    [CN, R, T, V]

    It is intended that deductive reasoning be limited to direct proof.
  • 11A.G.2. Solve problems that involve the properties of angles and triangles.
    [CN, PS, T, V]

  • 11A.G.3. Solve problems that involve the cosine law and the sine law, including the ambiguous case.
    [CN, PS, R, T]

General Learning Outcome: Develop logical reasoning.

  • 11A.L.1. Analyze and prove conjectures, using inductive and deductive reasoning, to solve problems.
    [C, CN, PS, R, T]

    It is intended that this learning outcome be integrated throughout the course.
  • 11A.L.2. Analyze puzzles and games that involve spatial reasoning, using problem-solving strategies.
    [CN, PS, R, T, V]

    It is intended that this learning outcome be integrated throughout the course by using sliding, rotation, construction, deconstruction, and similar puzzles and games.

General Learning Outcome: Develop statistical reasoning.

  • 11A.S.1. Demonstrate an understanding of normal distribution, including

    • standard deviation
    • z-scores

    [CN, PS, T, V]

  • 11A.S.2. Interpret statistical data, using

    • confidence intervals
    • confidence levels
    • margin of error

    [C, CN, R, T]

    It is intended that the focus of this learning outcome be on interpretation of data rather than on statistical calculations.

General Learning Outcome: Develop algebraic and graphical reasoning through the study of relations.

  • 11A.R.1. Model and solve problems that involve systems of linear inequalities in two variables.
    [CN, PS, T, V]

  • 11A.R.2. Demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics of quadratic functions, including

    • vertex
    • intercepts
    • domain and range
    • axis of symmetry

    [CN, PS, T, V]

    It is intended that completion of the square not be required.

General Learning Outcome: Develop an appreciation of the role of mathematics in society.

  • 11A.RP.1. Research and give a presentation on a historical event or an area of interest that involves mathematics.
    [C, CN, ME, PS, R, T, V]
