How do I decide on which grade 11 math course to take?
How do I decide on which grade 11 math course to take?
Base your decision on these key factors:
Your past success and your confidence in grade 10 math
Your potential post secondary interests and pathways and their course requirements
Conversations with your grade 10 math teacher and guidance counsellor
Case #1
Case #1
For students on either a college, university, or workplace pathway who are not pursuing math or science and are looking for their last math credit to graduate.

Benefits of taking MEL3E
Benefits of taking MEL3E
Could be the last math course required for graduation
Additional time to consolidate skills from earlier grades
Smaller classes with lots of teacher interaction
Develops practical math knowledge and skills, such as taxes, deductions, interest, banking, debt, credit, owning and leasing a vehicle
Work is done mainly in class time
Can take Mathematics for Work and Everyday Life, MEL4E, in Grade 12

Benefits of taking MBF3C
Benefits of taking MBF3C
Could be the last math course required for graduation
Time provided to complete most homework in class
Designed for students on a college pathway in most programs OR students on a university pathway who do not require a math prerequisite
Reviews a lot of concepts taught in grade 10 math
Relevant life skill units and projects such as:
Buy your first car, understanding banking, credit cards, and investing
Statistics and data management
Can take Foundations for College Math, MAP4C, in grade 12
Considerations when taking MBF3C
Considerations when taking MBF3C
More evaluations than grade 10
This course only allows you to take MAP4C in grade 12
Case #3

Benefits of taking MCF3M
Benefits of taking MCF3M
More time to spend on building fundamental skills
Expands on grade 10 math skills and bridges to Functions, MCR3U
Has a financial literacy component
Builds confidence in math before taking the much harder MCR3U course (topics are similar to MCR3U but go into less depth)
Can still take Data Management, MDM4U, if a grade 12 university math course is needed.
Considerations when taking MCF3M
Considerations when taking MCF3M
This course does not allow you to take Advanced Functions, MHF4U, if required in grade 12
The course focuses on three different functions (grade 10 focused on one)
The course does involve some independent learning and homework
Case #4
Case #4
For students interested in pursuing a math or science related program on a university pathway (such as architecture, business or commerce, computer science, engineering, health sciences, math, or science)
For students interested in pursuing a math or science related program on a university pathway (such as architecture, business or commerce, computer science, engineering, health sciences, math, or science)
Benefits of taking MCR3U
Benefits of taking MCR3U
Has a financial literacy component
Prepares you for grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U)
Considerations when taking MCR3U
Considerations when taking MCR3U
The course is fast paced
A solid understanding of previous math concepts is strongly recommended, especially algebra skills
The course focuses on eight different functions (grade 10 focused on one)
Students must be able to work/learn independently
Students must keep up with daily homework
Class sizes are generally larger than 3M or 3C
A significant number of students benefit from taking MCF3M in the fall and MCR3U in the winter
