In this course, you will develop an understanding of mathematical concepts related to introductory algebra, proportional reasoning, and measurement and geometry through investigation, the effective use of technology, and hands-on activities. You will investigate real-life examples to develop various representations of linear relations, and determine the connections between the representations. You will also explore certain relationships that emerge from the measurement of three-dimensional figures and two-dimensional shapes. You will consolidate your mathematical skills as you solve problems and communicate your thinking.
