We will be using the BC curriculum for Math 10. The Big Ideas are
Algebra allows us to generalize relationships through abstract thinking.
The meanings of, and connections between, operations extend to powers, and polynomials.
Constant rate of change is an essential attribute of linear relations and has meaning in different representations and contexts.
Trigonometry involves using proportional reasoning to solve indirect measurement problems.
Representing and analyzing situations allows us to notice and wonder about relationships.
