Prerequisite: Successful completion of Workplace Math 10 or Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10.
This course is designed to provide students with the practical mathematical understanding and skills that are necessary for entry into most trades and direct entry into the workforce. Learning outcomes include measurement, geometry, number, algebra and statistics. This course is for students who are planning on entering Trades programs once they are finished high school. It does not meet the entrance requirements for most post secondary institutions, except BCIT and TRU Trades programs. It does, however, fulfill the Math 11 requirement for graduation.
Note: Students can take more than one Math 11 course for credit.
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.
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 (with a final grade of greater than 60%)
This course is designed for college or university bound students who are taking programs that DO NOT require 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 Foundation of Mathematics 12 in order to maximize their chances of university acceptance. This course is academically rigorous and its learning outcomes include measurement, geometry, logical reasoning, statistics, and relations and functions. Students should expect to put in a one hour minimum of daily review in order to guarantee success at this level.
Note: Students can take more than one Math 11 course for credit.
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.*
Prerequisite: A final grade of 73% or greater in Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 is recommended for success.
This course is designed for college or university bound students who are taking programs that DO require 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. This course is very academically rigorous and its learning outcomes include algebra and number, trigonometry, and relations and functions. Students should expect to put in a one hour minimum of daily review in order to guarantee success at this level.
Note: Students can take more than one Math 11 course for credit.
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.*
This course is designed for college or university bound students who are taking programs that DO NOT have a mathematics requirement and for students with an interest in history and the humanities. Therefore, it is important that students are aware of the prerequisites of their anticipated post secondary programs. This course is intended for students who enjoy the humanities - English, history and social studies but may not excel in mathematics. Although any Math 11 is a minimum requirement for graduation, students who enrol in this course who are pursuing university level sciences should also take Precalculus Mathematics 11. Students should expect to complete non-traditional math assignments, such as group discussions, essays and projects.
Note: Students can take more than one Math 11 course for credit.
Prerequisite: Apprenticeship and Workplace Math 11
This course is designed to provide students with the practical mathematical understanding and skills necessary for entry into most trades and direct entry into the workforce. Learning outcomes include measurement, geometry, algebra, statistics and probability. This course is for students who are planning on entering Trades programs once they are finished high school. It does not meet the entrance requirements for most post secondary institutions, except BCIT and TRU Trades programs.
Note: Students can take more than one Math 12 course for credit.
Prerequisite: Foundations of Math 11
This pathway is designed for college and university bound students who are taking programs that do not require Calculus. Therefore, it is important that students are aware of the prerequisites of their anticipated post secondary programs. This course is academically rigorous and its learning outcomes include financial mathematics, logical reasoning, probability, set theory and relations and functions. Students should expect to put in one hour minimum of daily review and form their own study groups outside of class time to ensure success at this level.
Strong marks in this course will open doors in a wide variety of post secondary programs.
Note: Students can take more than one Math 12 course for credit.
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus 11
This pathway is designed for college and university bound students who are taking programs that DO require Calculus. Therefore, it is important that students are aware of the prerequisites of their anticipated post secondary programs. This course is very academically rigorous and its learning outcomes include trigonometry, combinatorics and relations and functions. Students should expect to put in one hour minimum of daily review and form their own study groups outside of class time to ensure success at this level. Strong marks in this course will open doors in a wide variety of post secondary programs.
Note: Students can take more than one Math 12 course for credit.
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus 12 or at least 73% in Pre-Calculus 11
This course is designed to prepare students for first year university calculus. It is intended for students interested in expanding their mathematical skill and knowledge, especially those going into the Sciences, Engineering or Commerce in university. Topics include limits, derivatives and integral calculus. This course is recommended for all students entering Sciences, Engineering and Commerce.
Note: Students can take more than one Math 12 course for credit.
