Mathematics

Successful completion of any one of the Math 11 or 12 courses will meet the graduation requirements. The pathways of math are different enough that students could benefit from taking more than one math course at any grade level. For example, a student may choose to complete Foundations Math 11 before taking PreCalculus 11 to strengthen core skills and build confidence. Students who enjoy mathematics may choose to take more than one math course at any grade level to broaden their mathematical knowledge and experience. All students will now be required to complete a numeracy assessment as a graduation requirement. Students may write this assessment in Grade 10, 11 or 12. They have up to three attempts to complete the assessment. 

WORKPLACE MATHEMATICS 11 (MWPM-11)

This course is designed to provide students with basic mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into the majority of trades at post-secondary and for direct entry into the workforce. Proportional reasoning, financial mathematics, data analysis and 2D-3D representations are some of the big ideas.

FOUNDATIONS OF MATH 11 AND 12 (MFOM-11/MFOM-12)

These courses are designed for post-secondary studies in programs that do not necessarily require the study of theoretical mathematics (eg; geography, arts, and humanities). Reasoning, financial literacy, statistics/probability, function modelling and optimization are a few of the big ideas.

PRE-CALCULUS 11 AND 12 (MPREC11/MPREC12)

These courses are designed for entry into post-secondary programs that require a more rigorous and theoretical approach towards mathematics (eg: science, engineering, mathematics). Functions (along with their inverses and transformations) are a major focus in pre-calculus. Trigonometry, proportional reasoning, and complex algebra are some of the other big ideas.

INTRO TO PRE-CALCULUS 11 + PRE-CALCULUS 11 (MMAFI10 + MPREC11) (Full-year)

For students who require Pre-Calculus 11 for their post-secondary requirements but need more support to succeed. This is a full-year course that will take two blocks, one in each semester. Students will review key areas of the Foundations of Math 10 curriculum and build their math skills.

CALCULUS 12 (MCALC12)

Calculus 12 is an introduction to university calculus. It covers 50% to 75% of Calculus 100, thus easing the transition to what is often perceived as the most difficult first-year university course. Students planning to take Calculus 100 in their first year of university are encouraged to take Calculus 12.
