Mathematics 10-3
Alberta · Grade 10 · Mathematics — the complete curriculum-aligned outline, taught skill by skill by MapleMind's AI tutor.
Unit 1: Measurement
General outcome: develop spatial sense through direct and indirect measurement on the job. The SI (metric) and imperial systems and the strategies that convert between them, linear measurement in decimal and fractional units, and area of regular, composite and irregular 2-D shapes and 3-D objects — always in trades and workplace contexts.
- Describing the SI (metric) units
- Converting SI units to imperial
- Describing and comparing imperial units
- Converting imperial units to SI
- Solving linear measurement problems
- Area of regular 2-D shapes and 3-D objects
- Area of composite and irregular shapes
Unit 2: Geometry
General outcome: develop spatial sense through workplace geometry. Angles (drawing, replicating, constructing, bisecting) and the pairs formed by parallel, perpendicular and transversal lines; the Pythagorean theorem and right-triangle trigonometry for ramps, framing and layout; similarity of polygons; and spatial puzzles that build problem-solving strategy.
- Drawing, replicating and constructing angles
- Bisecting angles and solving problems
- Angles from parallel, perpendicular and transversal lines
- Identifying right triangles and verifying the theorem
- Applying the Pythagorean theorem
- Similarity of convex polygons
- Developing the trig ratios from similar triangles
- Applying the primary trigonometric ratios
- Strategies for spatial puzzles and games
Unit 3: Number
General outcome: develop number sense in financial and consumer contexts. Unit pricing and currency exchange by proportional reasoning, and a full understanding of income — wages, salary, contracts, commissions and piecework — to calculate gross and net pay.
- Unit pricing and best buys
- Currency exchange
- Wages, salary, commission, piecework and gross pay
- Deductions and net pay
Unit 4: Algebra
General outcome: develop algebraic reasoning by working with the formulas the trades actually use. Manipulate and apply formulas for perimeter, area, the Pythagorean theorem, the primary trigonometric ratios and income — substituting values and rearranging to isolate the quantity a job needs.
- Applying perimeter, area and Pythagorean formulas
- Rearranging trigonometric ratio and income formulas
