This course will start by reviewing fundamental concepts from Mathematics 7 and 8 creating a better foundation for further mathematical study. The intent of this course is to prepare the student for Workplace Math 10.  

Note: Mathematics 9 must be successfully completed prior to taking Foundations and Pre-Calculus 10.

Students will build their skills and extend their mathematical knowledge, preparing a stronger foundation for future study in secondary mathematics. Topics include real numbers, exponents and radicals, polynomials, linear equations and finance. Critical thinking, communication and personal and social responsibility are incorporated throughout the course. The successful completion of this course will prepare students for Foundations and Pre-Calculus 10. (C+ or higher recommended).

This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical thinking skills identified for entry into the majority of trades, some fine arts programs at the post-secondary level, and ultimately the work force. Topics include financial mathematics, algebra, measurement, 3D geometry, statistics and probability, trigonometry and graphical analysis.

This course is designed for students who have been successful in Math 9. It prepares students for Foundations of Math 11 or Pre-Calculus 11. Topics of study include finance, trigonometry, polynomials, systems of linear equations, arithmetic sequences, functions and relations and exponent operations.

This is another option for students who have been successful in Math 9 and want to take Math 10 Foundations & Pre-Calculus (see course description above). The Full Year option will deliver the same curriculum but over 2 semesters. This course is designed for students who are willing to take on this challenging curriculum but would benefit from more time and some extra strategies. 

This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical thinking skills identified for entry into the majority of trades, some fine arts programs at the post-secondary level, and ultimately the work force. Topics include financial mathematics, algebra, geometry, measurement, number, and statistics and probability.

This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require the study of calculus. Topics include geometry, measurement, logical reasoning, relations and functions, linear systems, quadratic functions, trigonometry, statistics and probability.

This pathway 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 calculus. Topics include sequences and series, relations and functions, trigonometry, systems of equations and inequalities. 

This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require the study of calculus. Topics include geometry, measurement, number, logical reasoning, relations and functions, statistics and probability.

This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs that require the study of calculus. Topics include transformations of functions, analyzing and graphing various relations and functions, trigonometry, and logarithms.

Prior learning as a predictor of success: Recommended grade of “A” or a high “B” in Pre-Calculus 11 and Pre-Calculus 12, or recommendation of the Mathematics Department Chairperson.

This course is similar in content to a first-year Calculus course at the post-secondary level. It is intended for strong mathematics students who plan to take post-secondary courses in the math/science field. Students who complete this course successfully will find themselves very well prepared for first-year Calculus courses at college/university.
