In Grade 9 math, students were introduced to the subject of Linear Relations and Equations. In Grade 10, students are expected to use Linear Relations in a Geometric context. Slopes, y-intercepts, creating and rearranging linear equations are applied to triangles, parallelograms and minimizing distance problems in real-life scenarios.
An intuitive understanding of Linear Relations is also a requisite for success in the Grade 10 Systems of Equations Unit, where students must find the point of intersection between various lines algebraically, as well as determine the solutions to systems of equations in an applied setting. It becomes apparent that students who have a deep-rooted understanding of Linear Relations specifically will perform better than those who experienced difficulty in Grade 9 math. York Region Tutors ensure that our students have a strong foundation in Linear Relations while at the same time helping them through the novel concepts introduced in both the Systems Unit and the Analytic Geometry Unit.
Brand new topics are also introduced in Grade 10 math which tend to cause frustration for many students, including Quadratics (Part 1 & Part 2) and Trigonometry. These two units highlight the importance of our dual Tablet1/around-the-clock eHELP! forum. YRT provides students with strategies that make their approach to both units more efficient, and our eHELP! forum is crucial in answering student homework/assignment questions on days when tutoring does not take place.
