Grade 11 Math options

To graduate you will need at least one Math 11 course. Math 11 and 12 courses prepare students for different post-secondary opportunities.

Math Packages

If students want to take 2 Math courses in a year, they should choose the courses as a package. This will ensure that the courses are placed into their schedule in the correct order. Students going into Grade 11 will have the following options (for full course descriptions, see lower down on this page):

Workplace/Foundations Prep 11 then Foundations 11
Foundations 11 then Pre-Calculus 11
Foundations 11 only
Pre-Calculus 11 only

Workplace Math 11 and Foundations Prep

4 credit course

This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into the majority of trades and for direct entry into the work force. Students who want more time to build their math skills and help transition into foundations math 11 as well as achieve their grade 11 math credit to graduate, would benefit from this course,

Concepts that will be explored include financial literacy, rate of change, linear relations, probability and statistics, 3D objects, angle relationships, mathematical reasoning and solving equations skills.
Students will receive credit for Math 11 Workplace and will be prepared to enter Math 11 Foundations. It is recommended that Math 11 Workplace students enroll in Math 11 Foundations second semester.
This course will be evaluated through self-assessments, assignments, quizzes (independent and collaborative), tests and final exams.

Pre-Calculus 11

4 credit course

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.
This course will be evaluated through self-assessment, assignments, quizzes (independent and collaborative), tests and a final exam.

Foundations of Math 11

4 credit course

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.
