Grade 11, Workplace Preparation
A4. Mathematics,Science,and Technological Literacy
THE ONTARIO CURRICULUM, GRADES 11 AND 12 | Technological Education
By the end of this course, students will:
A4.1 demonstrate a working knowledge of various mathematical formulas (e.g., related to trigonom- etry, geometry, force/power) and applications (e.g., tap drill sizing, calculating machine speeds and feeds, indexing) that are commonly used in manufacturing;
A4.2 use mathematical calculations to solve man- ufacturing problems (e.g., use algebraic equations; calculate perimeters, volumes, areas), using appro- priate resources (e.g., tables, charts);
A4.3 apply mathematical concepts (e.g., linear systems, angle calculations, integers, orders of operations, decimals and fractions) and skills in performing a variety of tasks required within the context of manufacturing design and pro- duction (e.g., percent/decimal/fraction conversions, US customary/British imperial and metric unit conversions);
A4.4 identify the properties (e.g., magnetic, physical, mechanical, thermal, electrical) of natural and manufactured solid materials;
A4.5 describe how the physical properties of
solid materials (e.g., density, appearance, porosity, surface texture) create advantages or disadvan- tages that affect their suitability for use in manufacturing;
A4.6 describe how the mechanical properties of solid materials (e.g., hardness, ductility, elasticity, brittleness, compression, fatigue, shear, tensility) create advantages or disadvantages that affect their suitability for use in manufacturing;
A4.7 demonstrate effective use of technological lit- eracy and communication skills to interpret and communicate information related to manufac- turing technology (e.g., in technical manuals, reports, presentations).
