Math 10 Courses

The Pathways Explained

Workplace Pathway: designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for entry into some post-secondary trades and technical schools and for direct entry into the workforce.

Foundations Pathway: 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 or entry into post-secondary trades and technical schools.

Future Plans may include social sciences, fine arts, humanities, and trades.

Pre-Calculus Pathway: designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs that require the study of theoretical calculus.

Future Plans may include Science, health fields, engineering, commerce, and trades.

Apprenticeship Mathematics Pathway: provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical-thinking skills is designed to provide students with workplace, trades and transitions programs, and to prepare students for the Accuplacer.

foundations and pre-calculus 10 MFMP-10

A grade of Developing in Math 9 is recommended.

The following big ideas will be covered in Foundations and Pre-Calc 10:

Proportional comparisons can be made among right triangles, using trigonometry.
The meaning of each operation, including powers, extends to algebraic expressions.
Rate of change is an essential attribute of linear relations, and as meaning in the different representations, including equations.
Operations between polynomial expressions are connected and allow us to make meaning through abstract thinking.
Analyzing simulations and data allows us to notice trends and relationships.

The following big ideas will be covered in Workplace Math 10:

Proportional comparisons can be made among right triangles, using trigonometry.
Understanding operations helps when working with formulae and unit conversions.
Many relationships can be modelled and interpreted using graphs.
Varying the transversal allows us to notice angle relationships.
Analyzing simulations and data allows us to notice trends and relationships.

Workplace Pathway: designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for entry into some trades and technical schools and for direct entry into the workforce.

Certain trades require additional theoretical education in mathematics and may require students to take the Foundations/Pre-Calculus pathway. Check with a school counsellor or the TNT coordinator for details regarding which math is required for a particular trade.
