Pathways in Mathematics K - 12
Parents and students are encouraged to preview post secondary program requirements as it pertains to the future goals of individual students. Post Secondary prerequisites will impact ones pathway in Mathematics.
*Certain trades require additional theoretical education in Mathematics and may require students to take the Foundations/Pre-Calculus pathway. Check with a school counselor or the TNT coordinator for details regarding which math is required for a particular trade
Foundations of Math 11 | MFOM-11
Prerequisite: A final mark of 60% or higher in Foundations & Pre-Calculus Math 10 is recommended. This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require the study of theoretical calculus. Topics covered in this course include: geometry, measurement, logical seasoning, quadratic functions and equations, systems of inequalities, statistics and probability.
Pre-Calculus 11 | MPREC-11
Prerequisite: It is recommended that students considering Pre-Calculus 11 have a final mark of 70% or higher in Foundations & Pre-Calculus Math 10.
This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that require the study of theoretical calculus (eg: Sciences and Engineering). Topics include powers, radicals, factoring, quadratic and rational functions and equations, trigonometry, inequalities, sequences and series, and financial literacy.
Workplace Math 11 | MWPM-11
Prerequisite: Workplace Math 10
This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for entry into the majority of trades or into the workforce. Topics in WPM 11 include geometry, measurement, algebra, financial mathematics and interpreting graphs.
Foundations of Math 12 |
Pre-requisite: FOM 11
This pathway is designed to continue to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require the study of theoretical calculus (eg: Business, Arts, Social Sciences and Nursing). Topics covered in this course include: Financial mathematics, logical reasoning, relations and functions, and probability. Applied applications and research projects may be employed. Please note this course may meet requirements for some college and university programs so please check with the post-secondary institution of your choice to determine program eligibility.
Pre-Calculus 12 |
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus 11. It is recommended that students considering Pre-Calculus 12 have a final mark of 70% or higher in Pre-Calculus 11.
This course is a prerequisite for many college and university programs that require the study of theoretical calculus (eg: Sciences and Engineering). Topics include transformations, logarithms, exponentials, polynomials, rationals, trigonometry, and geometric series.
Calculus 12 |
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus 12. It is recommended that students considering Calculus 12 have a final mark of 70% or higher in Pre-Calculus 11, and are currently taking (or have already completed) Pre-Calculus 12.
This course will enable students to advance their mathematical skills to a university level. As such, Calculus 12 will introduce first-year university topics such as limits, derivatives and integrals. This course is highly recommended for students pursuing a university degree in Science, Math or Engineering.
Note: Please check Post Secondary Institution requirements prior to selecting appropriate your Math course.
