Math 10C (5 credits)

Mathematics 10 Common is designed for students who have passed Grade 9 mathematics. Major topics include: measurement, trigonometry, polynomials, linear functions, function notation, systems of equations. Each topic area requires the development of a conceptual knowledge base and skill set which will be necessary regardless of whether students choose to continue in Math 20-1 or Math 20-2.

Math 20-1, 30-1 (5 credits each)

These courses are for students who plan to enter post-secondary programs that require calculus, such as mathematics, engineering, and science. Students in this pathway will study quadratic functions and equations, trigonometry, radical and rational expressions, sequences and series. Students in Math 30-1 will study trigonometry, relations and functions, permutations, combinations and binomial theorem.

High School Math Course Sequences: Comprehensive Explanation

Math 31– Calculus (5 credits)

The Math 31 course is designed to introduce students to the mathematical methods of calculus. The majority of students taking Math 31 plan to attend post-secondary studies with a focus on math, sciences, or engineering.

Math 10-3, 20-3, 30-3 (5 credits each)

This skill-building pathway is designed to prepare students for everyday challenges you face in life. Learn how to get the best deals when you go shopping, redecorate a room in your house, budget for your dream vacation and so much more. This course is also ideal for students wishing to enter the trades. This pathway will help prepare students for apprenticeship exams. Math 10-3 and Math 20-3 meet the minimum math required for an Alberta High School Diploma.

Math 20-2, 30-2 (5 credits each)

The 20-2 and 30-2 courses are for students who plan to enter post-secondary studies that will not require calculus, such as nursing, education, arts fine arts, music, and physical education programs. Students in this pathway will study deductive and inductive reasoning, statistics, trigonometry and algebra. Students in Math 30-2 will study logical reasoning, probability, relations and functions.

Both the -1 and -2 Math course sequences can be used to apply for the Alexander Rutherford Scholarship for High School Achievement.

Competencies and Current Programs of Study: MATH

Competencies are combinations of attitudes, skills, and knowledge that students develop and apply for successful learning, living, and working. In school, competencies help students achieve learning outcomes and transfer their learning to new situations. Alberta's curriculum promotes the development of eight competencies, which are a streamlined expression of the competencies identified in the Ministerial Order on Student Learning (#001/2013). The following are examples that describe home competencies may be expressed within the context of Alberta's current Kindergarten to Grade 12 Math programs of study.
