Math Pathways are designed to guide students into the appropriate stream of math based on interests and goals.
**Please note that students can take multiple math courses at both the grade 11 and 12 level for credit.
MFOM-11
4 Credits
Prerequisite: It is recommended that students considering Foundations of Math 11 have a final mark of 60% or higher in Foundations & Pre-Calculus Math 10.
This pathway 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 theoretical calculus. Topics covered in this course include: geometry, measurement, logical seasoning, quadratic functions and equations, systems of inequalities, statistics and probability.
Foundations Pathway: Designed to prepare students for university to programs that do not require theoretical calculus.
Future Plans may include social sciences, fine arts, humanities, some trades.*
MPREC11
4 Credits
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 understandings 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.
Pre-Calculus Pathway: Designed to prepare students for university programs that require the study of theoretical calculus.
Future Plans may include Science, health fields, engineering, commerce, some trades.*
MWPM-11
4 Credits
Prerequisite: Math 10.
This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical thinking skills identified for entry into some trades or into the work force. Topics in WPM 11 include: geometry, measurement, algebra, financial mathematics, and interpreting graphs.
Workplace Pathway: Designed to prepare students with the mathematical knowledge and critical-thinking skills needed for entry into the majority of trades, via a technical college or trade school, as well as for direct entry into the workforce.
Future Plans may include: technical college, some trades* and direct entry into workforce.
*Certain trades require additional theoretical education in mathmatics 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.
4 Credits
Previous completion of Computers 10 recommended. During this course you will learn the fundamentals of computer programming and how to use computer programs to solve a variety of problems. You will re-discover mathematical concepts through the lens of Computer Science, providing you with a deeper understanding of many numerical methods and techniques. This course bridges the gap between the theory and application of mathematics in the context of computational problem solving.
**This course counts as the grade 11 math credit towards graduation - please check with your post secondary school of choice to see if this course is valid for entrance to the program of your choice.
MFOM-12
4 Credits
Prerequisite: Foundations of Math 11.
This pathway is designed to continue 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 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 check with the post-secondary institution for program admission requirements to determine if this course meets the admission requirements for program eligibility
MPREC12
4 Credits
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.
4 Credits
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus 12. It is recommended that students considering Calculus 12 have a final mark of 70% or higher in Pre-Calculus 12 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.
4 Credits
Previous completion of Computer Science 11 recommended. This course builds on the fundamentals established in Computer Science 11 but has a greater focus on data structures, memory management and program efficiency.
