Opintojaksoon liittyy pakollisia kotitehtäviä ja välitestejä. Arviointi tehdään opintojakson päätteeksi olevalla läpäisytestillä ja arvosanakokeella. Läpäisytestiin ja arvosanakokeeseen voi osallistua, jos opintojakson pakolliset suoritteet on hyväksytysti tehty. Läpäisytesteillä saa arvosanan 1. Korkeampi arvosana edellytttää arvosanakokeeseen osallistumista.

Arviointimenetelmä:
Opintojaksoon liittyy pakollisia kotitehtäviä ja välitestejä. Arviointi tehdään opintojakson päätteeksi olevalla läpäisytestillä ja arvosanakokeella. Läpäisytestiin ja arvosanakokeeseen voi osallistua, jos opintojakson pakolliset suoritteet on hyväksytysti tehty. Läpäisytesteillä saa arvosanan 1. Korkeampi arvosana edellytttää arvosanakokeeseen osallistumista.


Suositellaan valitsemaan myös opintojakso Mat1 Tukiopinnot, jos lukion pitkän matematiikan opintoja ei ole pohjalla.

- Drawing and interpreting graphs of functions
- Linear equations and lines
- Quadratic equations and parabolas
- Equations involving roots
- Systems of equations
- Percentages and proportions

Alternative completion methods

Mahdollisuus tenttiä kurssikokeella opintojakson alussa.

Student workload

Kontaktiopetus noin 25 h. Joillakin viikoilla voi olla etäopetusta Dynamon tilojen käytettävyydestä riippuen.
Harjoitukset kontaktituntien ulkopuolella noin 25 h
Teoriamateriaalin opiskelu, kokeisiin valmistautuminen ja kokeiden suorittaminen noin 25 h

Further information for students

Arviointimenetelmä:
Kurssin lopussa pidetään koe. Viikoittaisista kotitehtävistä saa kokeeseen lisäpisteitä.

Suositellaan valitsemaan myös opintojakso Mat1 Tukiopinnot, jos lukion pitkän matematiikan opintoja ei ole pohjalla.

Arviointimenetelmä:
Opintojaksoon liittyy pakollisia kotitehtäviä ja välitestejä. Arviointi tehdään opintojakson päätteeksi olevalla läpäisytestillä ja arvosanakokeella. Läpäisytestiin ja arvosanakokeeseen voi osallistua, jos opintojakson pakolliset suoritteet on hyväksytysti tehty. Läpäisytesteillä saa arvosanan 1. Korkeampi arvosana edellytttää arvosanakokeeseen osallistumista.
