Math 11 Courses

This course is designed to give students the necessary math skills for some post- secondary trades (see page 29) or for direct entry into the workforce. This course meets graduation requirements, but does not lead straight to university entrance.

Topics include:

• Analyzing graphs from media

• Drawing and constructing 3D objects

• Exploring games of chance

• Understanding statistical vocabulary

• Interpreting surveys

• Financial literacy (loans, credit cards, mortgages, banking, vehicle purchases, personal investments)

Materials required: multi-line scientific calculator

This course is based on many of the core skills learned in Foundations Pre-Calculus 10, and is designed for students interested in the Social Sciences, Economics, Arts, Fine Arts, and other non-scientific/mathematical post-secondary disciplines. The course contains significantly fewer theoretical math topics than Pre- Calculus 11. The focus is on understanding the course content in depth and developing communication skills around mathematics. Students with credit for this course are eligible to take Foundations 12 the following year.

This course meets graduation requirements and leads students towards some university entrance programs.

Topics include:

• Scale Models

• Angle Geometry (constructions and proofs)

• Inductive and Deductive Reasoning

• Systems of Equations

• Linear Inequalities

• Finance (investments, compound interest, buy/lease)

• Statistics

Materials: multi-line scientific calculator

This course requires a solid understanding of the skills from Foundations Pre-Calculus 10 and is designed for people interested in applying for post- secondary programs in Science, Applied Science, Commerce, and Math. The course focuses on theoretical math topics that prepare students for Calculus. Students with a credit for this course are eligible to take Pre-Calculus 12 and Calculus 12 the following year. This course meets graduation requirements and leads students towards most university entrance requirements.

This is an academic course that requires a commitment to assignments and study.

Topics include:

• Operations with Radicals

• Rational Exponents

• Solving Equations (rational, radical, quadratic, trigonometric)

• Graphing (quadratic reciprocal)

• Factoring Polynomials

• Trigonometry (sine law, cosine law, unit circle)

• Single and Two Variable Inequalities

• Finance Literacy (investments, compound interest, buy/lease)
