Alberta Mathematics 10-3 Topics
Mathematics 10-3 is designed for Alberta Grade 10 students who want to develop practical math skills for everyday life and workplace situations. The course covers a wide range of topics organized into clear units, from understanding money and measurement to geometry, trigonometry, and income.
- Proportional Reasoning and Consumer Math: Students learn to compare unit prices, identify best buys, analyze sales promotions, calculate percent changes, and solve currency exchange problems using proportional reasoning.
- SI and Imperial Measurement: Students explore the development of both the SI and imperial measurement systems, learn to convert between units, and use proportional reasoning to switch between systems.
- Perimeter, Area, and Surface Area: Students estimate and measure lengths, calculate perimeters and circumferences, solve area problems for various shapes including circles, and determine surface areas of 3-D objects.
- Pythagorean Theorem: Students verify and apply the Pythagorean theorem, check right triangles using the 3:4:5 ratio, and solve real-world problems.
- Similarity and Trigonometry: Students identify similar polygons, explore similar right triangles, and use trigonometric ratios to solve contextual problems involving indirect measurement.
- Angles and Lines: Students classify lines, identify complementary and supplementary angles, measure and bisect angles, and solve problems involving parallel and perpendicular lines.
- Income and Personal Finance: Students describe different income-earning methods, calculate gross and net pay, understand deductions, and explore how income changes affect take-home pay.
- Data and Research: Students collect and assess data, identify bias, interpret data using statistical methods, and present research findings with or without technology.
