We offer a variety of courses from Grade 9 through 12, and up to first year university-level Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus. Please visit the sub-pages related to each grade level for more detailed information and the AP Calculus page of our site for information specific course.
The Ontario Mathematics Curriculum provides detailed learning expectations for most of our math courses.
AP Calculus AB follows a first year university-level Calculus course set by the College Board.
Please see our grade-specific subpages for detailed Course information.
Working backwards from post-secondary plans to Grade 12 and 11, students who are interested in a University program in Business, Sciences, Engineering, etc., will likely need a Grade 12U/M course for their application. Most programs in the humanities and social sciences do not require high school math for entry. Most College programs also do not require high school math. Always check with the post-secondary institution's particular requirements on their website, or on myBlueprint.
This graphic illustrates many of the possible pathways connecting Mathematics courses at Bloor Collegiate. Please consult with Guidance and Mathematics teachers for advice and further information.
The TOPS Program requires a separate application process. Please see the TOPS on Bloor website for more information.
In Grade 9, there is only one course choice. However, students in the TOPS program will be cohorted.
Grade 9 Destreamed TOPS - MTH1WP
TOPS students in grade 9 are required to choose MTH1WP.
Grade 9 Destreamed - MTH1W1
All Grade 9 students in the mainstream program are required to choose MTH1W1.
After Grade 9, students are encouraged to think about their goals in mathematics.
Grade 10 Academic TOPS - MPM2DP
TOPS students in grade 10 are required to continue in Principles of Math 10 TOPS (MPM2DP).
Prerequisite: MTH1WP
Numeracy & Algebra + Grade 10 Academic - GLD2O1+MPM2D1
New in the 2005-26 school year, we are offering GLD2O1+MPM2D1 as a package of courses. Students who want or need to improve their numeracy and algebra skills to be better prepared for the Acadmic/University pathway in math are recommeded to take Numeracy & Algebra (GLD2O1) if they achieved Level 3 or below in Grade 9 Math (MTH1W). GLD2O will be offered in Semester 1 only, to be taken before Principles of Math 10 (MPM2D1) in Semester 2.
Prerequisite: MTH1W1
Grade 10 Academic - MPM2D1
Students who are interested in a University/College pathway should choose Principles of Math 10 (MPM2D1) if they achieved about Level 4 in Grade 9 Math (MTH1W1).
Prerequisite: MTH1W1 (80%)
Grade 10 Applied - MFM2P1
Students who are interested in the College/Workplace/Apprenticeship pathway should choose Foundations of Math 10 (MFM2P).
Prerequisite: MTH1W1
After grade 10, students are encouraged to reassess their goals in mathematics with a view to post-secondary. This year, most students will earn their third compulsory math credit.
Functions 11 Pre-AP - MCR3U0
All students have the opportunity to join the AP pathway which begins with Functions 11 Pre-AP (MCR3U0). The demands of the AP curriculum are high, so we recommend that students have achieved above 80% (TOPS) or 90% (Mainstream) in Grade 10 Academic Math (MPM2D). The only reason to choose this course is because it leads to AP Calculus.
Prerequisite: MPM2DP (80%) or MPM2D1 (90%)
Note: Students in the TOPS program are not required to join the AP pathway in Math. They should choose the pathway that best suits their needs.
Note: Students who are the AP Physics C pathway should choose this course in Grade 10.
Functions 11 - MCR3U1
The mainstream University pathway begins with Functions 11 (MCR3U1). This course is quite demanding, so we recommend that students have achieved Level 4 in Grade 10 Academic (MPM2D). The main reason for choosing this course is because it is the prerequisite for the Grade 12 Math courses which are required courses for many science and engineering post-secondary programs.
Prerequisite: MPM2DP or MPM2D1 (80%).
Functions and Applications 11 - MCF3M
The mainstream University/College pathway begins with Functions and Applications 11 (MCF3M1). This is the best course for students who achieved a Level 3 in MPM2D. It can be the final math credit, or it can better prepare students for MCR3U1. It also leads to one Grade 12 U-level math, if required for post-secondary.
Prerequisite: MPM2DP, MPM2D1, or MFM2P.
Foundations for College Math 11 - MBF3C
The College/Workplace/Apprenticeship pathway in Grade 11 continues with Foundations for College 11 (MBF3C). Again, this can be the final math credit.
Prerequisite: MPM2DP, MPM2D1, or MFM2P.
By Grade 12, most students will have earned the required three (3) compulsory math credits, and therefore all courses are elective. Careful post-secondary planning will help guide students to the appropriate courses.
Advanced Functions Pre-AP - MHF4U0
The AP pathway continues with Advanced Functions 12 Pre-AP (MHF4U0). Students in the mainstream pathway can join the AP pathway in Grade 12 as well, provided they have achieved at least 90% in Grade 11 Functions (MCR3U1), since this course is very demanding and accelerated. This course is only offered in Semester 1 and should only be taken if AP Calculus is desired as it is the prerequisite for that course.
Prerequisite: MCR3U0 or MCR3U1 (90%).
Note: Students who are the AP Physics C pathway should choose this course in Grade 11.
AP Calculus and Vectors - MCV4U0
The AP pathway ends with AP Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U0). This course is almost two courses in one. The AP Calculus AB curriculum set by the College Board is covered so that students are prepared for the AP Calculus AB Exam, which is optional. Further, the Ontario curriculum includes the Vectors Strand. This course is meant only for those students who wish challenge themselves at university level math, would like to write the AP Calculus AB Exam, or would like to take AP Physics C, for which this course is a prerequisite.
Prerequisite: MHF4U0.
Note: Students who are the AP Physics C pathway should choose this course in Grade 11.
Advanced Functions - MHF4U1
The mainstream University/College pathway continues with Advanced Functions 12 (MHF4U1). This course is meant for students who either need one Grade 12 U-level math for post-secondary, or who intend to take Calculus and Vectors. This course is only offered in Semester 1.
Prerequisite: MCR3UP or MCR3U1 (80%).
Calculus and Vectors - MCV4U1
This branch of the mainstream University/College pathway ends with Calculus and Vectors 12 (MCV4U1). This course is meant for students who require this course for post-secondary applications. It is recommended that students have achieved a Level 4 in Advanced Functions.
Prerequisite: MHF4U0 or MHF4U1.
Data Management - MDM4U1
The University/College pathway branches here to Data Management 12 (MDM4U1). This course is the only Grade 12 U-level course which can be taken after MFC3M. It can be a good option for students who need only one Grade 12 U-level math course for post-secondary programs.
Prerequisite: MCR3U0, MCR3U1, or MCF3M (80%).
Data Management Enriched - MDM4U0
This enriched course is meant to challenge students in topics of mathematics quite different from the other courses.
Prerequisite: MCR3U0 or MCR3U1 (80%).
Foundations for College Math 12 - MAP4C
The College/Workplace/Apprenticeship pathway in Grade 12 ends with Foundations for College 12 (MAP4C). This course is mainly for students who require a math credit for entrance to a collge program.
Prerequisite: MCR3U or MCF3M1 or MBF3C1
