Havergal's Uncalendar, 2021-22 Academic Year

MDM4U – Mathematics of Data Management, Grade 12, University Preparation 1 CREDIT This course can be divided into three overarching sections. In the first section, you will be introduced to counting techniques and fundamental probability calculations. You will investigate and answer such questions as: “in how many ways can you arrange 10 flowers on a window ledge?” and “what is the probability that when you arrange 10 flowers on a window ledge, the red and white geraniums are next to each other?” In the second section of this course, you will develop formulae to determine various probability distributions. A sample problem would be: “when forming a five-person committee from a group of eight males and nine females, what is the probability of each scenario with respect to the number of females chosen for the committee?” In the third section of the course, you will investigate relationships between data using one- and two-variable statistical analysis techniques. A sample investigation would be: “is there a relationship between the amount of sleep a person gets and their time on a reaction test?” While hands-on activities and investigations using technology are embedded within each unit of study, a major component of this course involves a culminating project in which you will choose a topic for investigation and present your findings with statistical analysis. Students entering their Grade 11 year who have demonstrated exceptional performance in Grade 10 in MPM2D Principles of Mathematics and ENG2D English may apply to take this course MDM4U one year earlier, i.e., at the same time as MCR3U instead of after MCR3U Prerequisite: MCR3U – Functions, Grade 11, University Preparation or MCF3M – Functions and Applications, Grade 11, University/College Preparation There is an e-Learning option, MDM4Ue.

MDM4UP – Mathematics of Data Management, Grade 12, University Preparation (Advanced Placement Statistics) 1 CREDIT The purpose of the AP course in statistics is to introduce students to the big ideas and methods for collecting, analyzing and making conclusions from data. The mathematics is fairly straight-forward and statistical functions on the graphing calculator do most of the calculations. Emphasis is placed on proper interpretation of results. Most questions take the form of a word problem that must be interpreted carefully so that an appropriate statistical technique is applied and appropriate conclusions may be made. There are four general topics: data analysis, experimental design, distributions and statistical inference. It is important to study statistics as we are presented with data and statistical information in many aspects of life, including poll results, ratings and medical studies. Statistics is used in a wide range of areas including business, government, health sciences, environment and physical sciences. A solid understanding of statistics will enable students to make sound, data-based predictions, decisions and conclusions in their careers and everyday lives. This course prepares students to write the AP Statistics standardized exam in May. Due to the amount of content covered, this course is fast-paced. The course is taught similar to that of a first-year university course. Many colleges and universities (especially in the United States) will offer a math credit to students who score well on the College Board’s AP Statistics exam. Students entering their Grade 11 year who have demonstrated exceptional performance in Grade 10 in MPM2D Principles of Mathematics and ENG2D English may apply to take this course MDM4U one year earlier, i.e., at the same time as MCR3U instead of after MCR3U Prerequisite: MCR3U – Functions, Grade 11, University Preparation
