MATHEMATICS OF DATA MANAGEMENT
 GRADE 12 - UNIVERSITY Preparation

Ministry of Education and Training Document: The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 11 and 12: Mathematics, 2000

Course Code:                MDM4U 

Credit Value:                 1 Credit

Textbook:                      Mathematics of Data Management; Nelson-Thomson Learning; 2002

Prerequisite:                  Grade 11 Functions and Relations, or Grade 11 Functions 

DESCRIPTION (as per The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 11 and 12):

This course broadens students’ understanding of mathematics as it relates to managing information.  Students will apply methods for organizing large amounts of information; apply counting techniques, probability, and statistics in modeling and solving problems; and carry out a culminating project that integrates the expectations of the course and encourages perseverance and independence.  Students planning to pursue university programs in business, the social sciences, or the humanities will find this course of particular interest.

EXPECTATIONS:

The Grade 12 Mathematics of Data Management course of study is based on 4 strands:

1.         Organization of Data for Analysis

2.         Counting and Probability

3.         Statistics

4.         Integration of Data Management Techniques

 

This course is quite different from the traditional mathematics courses of the past.  A major strand of the course is the culminating project and presentation.  Each unit will be completed with a summative test, or case study.  As well, as the course progresses there will be interim evaluations on the progress of the culminating project.  The final mark for the course will be based on 70% of the term mark plus a 30% cumulative evaluation, which will be made up of a summative exam and the project presentation.

If a student is legitimately absent for a test or quiz, upon return to school, they must have a doctor’s note or a note from their parent or guardian stating the reason for their absence.  At that time, and at the discretion of the teacher, the student may write a makeup test. If a student does not have a valid reason for his/her absence, a mark of zero will be given.

            Definition of Legitimate Absence

ü       Illness with a doctor’s note

ü       Death in the family

ü       Medical appointment (Advance notice required)

ü       Religious reasons (Advance notice required)

ü       School authorized field trip (Advance notice required)

ü       Court appearances (Advance notice required)

Every effort will be made by the subject teacher to notify students well in advance of scheduled test dates.
