Get help with Mathematics at Work 12
Most tutoring makes you sit through material you already know. MapleMind flips that: pick the exact skill that's causing trouble — any of the 22 below — and the tutor teaches just that one, step by step, as many times as it takes. Ask questions in plain words, any time of day, in English, French, or 12 other languages.

How MapleMind teaches Mathematics at Work 12 — every unit, lesson, and skill
Every skill below runs as a short session: a plain-words lesson, a worked example, solving it together, then a five-question skill check that earns up to three stars. Guided Mode keeps it teaching instead of answer-handing — turning it off needs a parent's password.
Unit 1GeometryOfficial strand · Strand G
The sine and cosine laws, properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons, and transformations of 2-D shapes and 3-D objects — all in construction, industrial, and artistic contexts.
The sine law and cosine law
- The sine lawG01 — Solve problems using the sine law in construction, industrial, and artistic applications where a diagram is given, excluding the ambiguous case.
- The cosine lawG01 — Solve problems using the cosine law in construction, industrial, and artistic applications where a diagram is given.
Properties of polygons
- Properties of triangles and quadrilateralsG02 — Describe and illustrate the properties of triangles (including isosceles and equilateral) and quadrilaterals in terms of angle measures, side lengths, diagonals, and angles of intersection.
- Properties of regular polygonsG02 — Describe and illustrate the properties of regular polygons, including equal sides and equal interior angles, and explain why a property does or does not apply to a given polygon.
- Applying polygon propertiesG02 — Identify and solve contextual problems that apply the properties of polygons in construction, industrial, commercial, domestic, and artistic contexts.
Transformations
- Single transformationsG03 — Identify a single transformation (translation, rotation, or reflection) from an original shape and its image, and draw the image resulting from a given single transformation.
- Combinations of transformationsG03 — Draw the image of a shape from a combination of successive transformations and create designs using translations, rotations, and reflections across the coordinate grid.
- Dilations and similarityG03 — Determine and draw a dilation of a 2-D shape or 3-D object, explain how the original and its image are proportional using similarity, and solve a contextual transformation problem.
The official wording — 3 outcomes in this unit
- G01
solve problems by using the sine law and cosine law, excluding the ambiguous case
- G02
solve problems that involve triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons
- G03
demonstrate an understanding of transformations on a 2-D shape or a 3-D object, including translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations
Unit 2NumberOfficial strand · Strand N
Logical puzzles and games, and the financial decision of acquiring a vehicle by buying, leasing, or leasing to buy.
Logical puzzles and games
- Strategies for logical puzzles and gamesN01 — Analyze puzzles and games that involve logical reasoning, choosing and verifying strategies such as looking for a pattern, making a systematic list, eliminating possibilities, or working backwards.
Acquiring a vehicle
- Options for acquiring a vehicleN02 — Describe and explain the options for buying, leasing, and leasing to buy a vehicle, including how each affects ownership and cost.
- Solving vehicle-acquisition problemsN02 — Solve, with or without technology, problems that involve the purchase, lease, or lease-to-purchase of a vehicle, comparing total costs.
- Justifying a vehicle decisionN02 — Justify a decision to buy, lease, or lease to buy a vehicle based on factors such as personal finances, intended use, maintenance, warranties, mileage, and insurance.
The official wording — 2 outcomes in this unit
- N01
analyze puzzles and games that involve logical reasoning, using problem-solving strategies
- N02
solve problems that involve the acquisition of a vehicle by buying, leasing, or leasing to buy
Unit 3AlgebraOfficial strand · Strand A
Understanding linear relations by recognizing patterns, graphing, building tables, writing equations, interpolating and extrapolating, and solving problems.
Linear relations
- Recognizing patterns and trends in linear relationsA01 — Identify the characteristics of a linear relation shown as a graph, table, number pattern, or equation, and sort relations into linear and non-linear.
- Tables of values and equationsA01 — Write an equation for a linear context, including direct and partial variation, and create a table of values from a given linear equation.
- Graphing linear relationsA01 — Sketch the graph of a linear relation from a table of values and decide whether the points should be connected based on the context.
- Interpolating and extrapolatingA01 — Solve contextual problems that require interpolating between or extrapolating beyond the data of a linear relation, including applying a linear formula.
- Scatterplots and trendsA01 — Create a scatterplot for a data set, describe its trend, sort scatterplots as linear, non-linear, or no trend, and match contexts to their graphs.
The official wording — 1 outcome in this unit
- A01
