2025/2026 Course Selection is open February 10, 2025 until March 3, 2025

MATHEMATICS

Students must complete a 20-level mathematics course in order to graduate. Check out the pathways graphic and the course descriptions below.

Two Advanced Placement options are offered at the 30-level; you can review them below, or on the Advanced Placement page under Specialized Programs (tab above).

Math outside the classroom...

The math department also runs a math club, and students are able to enter math contests throughout the year.

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 counselor, prior to determining which pathway is right for you.

Workplace and Apprenticeship Mathematics (MWA10)

What you need to know:

covers financial literacy, measurement, trigonometry, consumer math, proportional reasoning
develops critical thinking skills that lend themselves to trades and/or tech fields

Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus (MFP10)

What you need to know:

covers measurement, trigonometry, exponents, polynomials, factoring, irrational numbers, relations, functions
foundation to entry to majority of post-secondary programs
