MATH PATHWAYS
There are several pathways for students to choose from.
Post-secondary requirements vary; it is important to talk with your math teachers, and a counsellor, prior to determining which pathway is right for you.
Workplace and Apprenticeship Mathematics (MWA10)
Workplace and Apprenticeship Mathematics (MWA10)
What you need to know:
This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs in trades and technology, and for direct entry into the work force.
Topics include: measurement, trigonometry, geometry, consumer math, and proportional reasoning.
Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus (MFP10)
Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus (MFP10)
What you need to know:
This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs.
Topics include: measurement, trigonometry, exponents, polynomials, factoring, irrational numbers, and relations and functions.
Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus (Mfp10E - abci pre-ib)
Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus (Mfp10E - abci pre-ib)
What you need to know:
This course is intended for students who enjoy mathematics, who are disciplined in mathematics, and who want more challenges.
Pre-IB/Enriched math will meet provincial curriculum outcomes while fostering the principles of an IB learner.
Students who are interested in the IB program should take this course.
Students will look at mathematical concepts in detail, exploring difficult questions within each concept, as well as different applications of the concept.
Students should be able to grasp mathematical concepts and be mature, responsible learners.
