Creating the course syllabus A detailed syllabus gives students a sense of the nature of the course, what they will be expected to do in the course, and how their performance will be assessed. In many cases, the syllabus is viewed as a contract between you and the students. A syllabus should be clear about policies and procedures related to the course. ||  || || Q Maths 9 - Chapter 6 Websites: The Futures Channel, Brainpop, Programs:Excel, FWC, Jing || || Essential Learnings for Agebra Focus goals to be adderssed: - Able to construct and read graphs to represent algebraic equations - Able to identify key elements in problems in order to reach solutions using algebraic equations - Able to communicate strtegies for working using appropiate mathematical language || || Explicit links are made to real-life appication, paticularly in the area of scientific research and environmental conservation Preparation for senior school || ||  This course aims to introduce students to the real-world applications of algebra, using a veriety of media and interactive sources.
