This builds on skills and knowledge achieved in Foundations and Pre-Calculus Math 10.
This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies for programs such as social sciences, humanities, and fine arts; all which do not require the study of theoretical calculus.
Students can take this course alone or in preparation for Pre-Calculus 11
Concepts that will be explored include probability and statistical analysis including standard deviation and bell curves, quadratic functions: graphing, and solving using factoring and the quadratic equation, systems of linear inequalities: solving and graphing, reasoning methods: deductive and inductive, angle properties associated with parallel lines and regular polynomial shapes, finally trigonometry associated with the sine and cosine laws.
This course will be evaluated through individual and group work, self-assessment, assignments, projects, quizzes (independent and collaborative), tests and final exams.
Pre-Calculus 11 is a busy and challenging course. This course requires a strong foundational knowledge of the Foundations and Pre-Calculus Math 10 course. It is significantly more demanding and requires consistent effort and analytical thinking in comparison to Math 10.
This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs that require the study of theoretical calculus. This course is intended for students considering direct entry into mathematics, sciences, engineering, medicine, or commerce.
Concepts that will be explored include roots and powers, radical operations and equations, solving quadratic equations, analyzing quadratic functions, trigonometry, operations with rational expressions and solving rational equations, and financial literacy.
Students will need to devote a minimum of 45 minutes of work time outside of the classroom daily to achieve desired results in this course.
