There are three sequences of high school mathematics, each designed to allow students to enroll in a pattern compatible with your ability and interest. The high school diploma requires that students complete a minimum of 10 credits in mathematics, 5 of which must be Mathematics 20 level. However, students planning for a career in many professions, technical fields, and trades will benefit from additional courses in mathematics.

The- 1-course sequence is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs that require the study of calculus. Topics include algebra and number; measurement; relations and functions; trigonometry; and permutations, combinations, and binomial theorem.
The- 2-course sequence is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require the study of calculus. Topics include geometry, measurement, number and logic, logical reasoning, relations and functions, statistics, and probability. Math 30-2 can be used for most post-secondary programs.
The- 3-course sequence is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into the majority of trades and for direct entry into the work force. Topics include algebra, geometry, measurement, number, statistics, and probability. Students who complete Math 30-3 meet the recommended Math credential for all trades approved by Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training.
MATHEMATICS 10 Common (Recommended Prerequisite:65% in Math9 or Math15-5. Students with a grade below 60% in Math 9 will be enrolled in Math 15-5 or Math 10-3.) Math 10C is the starting point for the-1 and-2 course sequences. Students will study the following topics: measurement, trigonometry, polynomial factoring and operations, systems of equations, and linear relations and functions. Students with a grade between 45% and 59% in Math 9 who want to take Math 10C are advised to complete Math 15.
MATHEMATICS 15 (Prerequisite: 45-59% in Math 9) Math 15 is designed to review key concepts from Math 9 and preview topics in Math 10C that are required for successful completion of Math 10 Common. Topics include trigonometry, polynomials, area and volume, equations and inequalities, relations and functions, and statistics and probabilities. Students who achieve a grade of 60% or higher are recommended to go on to Math 10 Common. Students who complete Math 15 with a grade between 50% and 59% will not go on to Math 10 Common but can go directly to Math 20-3.
MATHEMATICS 10-3 (Recommended Prerequisite: 59% or lower in Math 9) Students in Math 10-3 will follow the 20-3 and 30-3 course sequence through grades 11 and 12. Students will study: measurement (SI and Imperial), trigonometry, geometry, income, and algebraic and proportional reasoning.
MATHEMATICS 20-1(Recommended Prerequisite: 70% or higher in Math 10 Common. Students with a grade below 70% in Math 10C will be enrolled in Math 20-2.) Students in mathematics 20-1 will study: quadratic functions and equations, radical and rational expressions and equations, trigonometry, systems of equations, and sequences and series.
MATHEMATICS 20-2 (Prerequisite: 50% or higher in Math 10 Common) Students in Math 20-2 will study: measurement, trigonometry, inductive and deductive reasoning, radical expressions and equations, quadratic functions and equations, and statistics.
MATHEMATICS 20-3 (Prerequisite: 50% or higher in Math 10-3) Students in Math 20-3 will study: measurement (SI and Imperial), geometry, finance, numerical, algebraic, and proportional reasoning, and statistics.
MATHEMATICS 30-1 (Recommended Prerequisite: 65% or higher in Math 20-1. Students with a grade below 60% in Math 20-1 will be enrolled in Math 30-2.) Students in Math 30-1 will study: trigonometry, relations and functions, Permutations, Combinations and Binomial Theorem
MATHEMATICS 30-2 (Recommended Prerequisite: 65% or higher in Math 20-2. Students with a grade below 60% in Math 20-2 will be enrolled in Math 30-3.) Students in Math 30-2 will study: Logical Reasoning, Probability, Relations and Functions, Mathematics Research Project
MATHEMATICS 30-3 (Prerequisite: 50% or higher in Math 20-3) Students in Math 30-3 will study: Measurement, Geometry, Numbers, Algebra, Statistics, and Probability.
MATHEMATICS 31 (CALCULUS) (Prerequisite or co-requisite: Math 30-1) Math 31 is designed to bridge the gap between Math 30-1 and calculus courses offered by post-secondary institutions. Students interested in pursuing post-secondary studies in the areas of mathematics, science, engineering, and business will benefit from this introductory calculus course. Students in Math 31 will study the following topics: precalculus and limits, derivatives and derivative theorems, applications of derivatives, integrals, integral theorems and integral applications and an elective component.
