Secondary Functions and Applications
School MCF3M1
Course Description/Rationale/Overview:
This course introduces basic features of the function by extending students’ experiences with quadratic relations. It focuses on
quadratic, trigonometric, and exponential functions and their use in modelling real-world situations. Students will represent
functions numerically, graphically, and algebraically; simplify expressions; solve equations; and solve problems relating to
applications. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.

Late Assignments
Materials/textbook/equipment Late assignments must be accompanied with a note signed by a parent or guardian
stating the reason for late submission. The note must list the due date of the
Textbook (supplied): assignment and the actual date of submission.
Functions and Applications 11 Marks will be deducted for late assignments, up to and including the full value
Nelson of the assignment. [Growing Success: Assessment, Evaluation, and Reporting

Missed Tests
Calculator Arrangements for missed tests for valid reasons must be made ahead of time if
known in advance, or the teacher must be contacted on the day of the test by
Notebook and materials for note-taking phone (395-3210 ext. 20080) in case of illness or other unexpected absence. The
student should be prepared to write the test immediately upon return to school.
