The following big ideas will be covered in Foundations of Math 11:

Similar shapes and objects have proportional relationships that can be described, measured, and compared.
Optimization informs the decision-making process in situations involving extreme values.
Logical reasoning helps us discover and describe mathematical truths.
Statistical analysis allows us to notice, wonder about, and answer questions about variation.

This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require calculus. This may include the Humanities, Fine Arts, trades and technical programs. Therefore, it is important that students are aware of the prerequisites of their anticipated post secondary programs. Although any Math 11 is a minimum requirement for graduation, students who enrol in this course should expect to continue into Foundation of Mathematics 12 in order to maximize their chances of post-secondary institution acceptance.

Note: Students can take more than one Math 11 course for credit.

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 math 11

Completion of Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 (with a grade of 73% or greater) is recommended.

The following big ideas will be covered in Pre-Calculus Math 11:

Algebra allows us to generalize relationships through abstract thinking.
The meanings of, and connections between, operations extend to powers, radicals, and polynomials.
Quadratic relationships are prevalent in the world around us.
Trigonometry involves using proportional reasoning to solve indirect measurement problems.

This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs that require the study of calculus. Therefore, it is important that students are aware of the prerequisites of their anticipated post secondary programs. Although any Math 11 is a minimum requirement for graduation, students who enrol in this course should expect to continue into Pre-Calculus 12 in order to maximize their chances of university acceptance.

Note: Students can take more than one Math 11 course for credit.

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.

*Certain trades require additional theoretical education in mathmatics 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
