Apprenticeship and
Foundations Pre-Calculus

Patterns and Relations
Patterns: two-variable linear equations
Grade 8
Variables and Equations: linear equations (x+a=b, ax+b=c, ax=b, xa=b, a0, xa+b=c, a0 and
a(x+b)=c)
Patterns and Relations
Patterns: graphs of linear equations, and interpolation and extrapolation
Grade 9 Variables and Equations: linear equations (ax=b+cx, ax+b=cx+d, a(bx+c)=d(ex+f) and ax=b,
x0), single-variable
linear inequalities, operations on polynomials
Algebra: perimeter, area, Algebra: powers with integral and rational exponents,
Pythagorean Theorem, basic multiplication polynomial expressions, common factors and
trig ratios, income trinomial factoring
Grade 10 Relations and Functions: relate linear expressions, systems of
linear equations in two variables
Measurement: converting between SI and imperial units, surface
area and volume of 3-D objects
Grade 11 1. Solve problems that require Relations and Functions:
the manipulation and systems of inequalities in 2
application of formulas related variables, quadratic functions
to: Measurement: scale
Geometry: volume and diagrams
container capacity, surface Geometry: sine law and
area, slope and rate of change cosine law
Number: simple interest (I =
Prt), finance charges
2. Demonstrate an
understanding of slope as: rise
over run, as rate of change, by
solving problems
 3. Solve problems by applying
proportional reasoning and
unit analysis (e.g. given km/h
and time, determine km)
1. Demonstrate an
understanding of linear
relations by:
Statistics: graphing, creating
tables of values.
Grade 12
Algebra: recognizing patterns
and trends, writing equations,
interpolating and
extrapolating, solving
problems.
Relations and Functions:
polynomial functions,
sinusoidal functions,
exponential and logarithmic
functions
Probability: Permutations
Finance: compound interest,
cost and benefits of renting,
leasing and buying
