The Ontario Mathematics Curriculum provides detailed learning expectations for many different math courses. Course Outlines pertaining to each course are linked below.
Prerequisite: MHF4U0
This course covers all of the curriculum encountered in the MCV4U course but also topics covered in a first year University Calculus course. Students have the option of writing the Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus AB exam towards the end of the course. More information on AP Calculus can be found here on our site.
Prerequisite: MHF4U0 or MHF4U1 (80%)
This course builds on students’ previous experience with functions and their developing understanding of rates of change. Students will solve problems involving geometric and algebraic representations of vectors and representations of lines and planes in three dimensional space; broaden their understanding of rates of change to include the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational, and radical functions; and apply these concepts and skills to the modelling of real-world relationships. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended for students who choose to pursue careers in fields such as science, engineering, economics, and some areas of business, including those students who will be required to take a university-level calculus, linear algebra, or physics course.
Prerequisite: MCR3U0 (80%) or MCR3U1 (90%)
This course is the prerequisite for AP Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U0). It covers all of the curriculum encountered in the MHF4U course (please see details on this page) but programming provides advanced instruction and depth into concepts, and curricula that provides opportunity for early skill acquisition and an enriched learning experience overall. The first unit of Calculus will be covered in this course.
Prerequisite: MCR3U0 or MCR3U1 (80%)
This course extends students’ experience with functions. Students will investigate the properties of polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; develop techniques for combining functions; broaden their understanding of rates of change; and develop facility in applying these concepts and skills. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended both for students taking the Calculus and Vectors course as a prerequisite for a university program and for those wishing to consolidate their understanding of mathematics before proceeding to any one of a variety of university programs.
Prerequisite: MCF3M1 (80%) or MCR3U1 or MCR3U0
This course broadens students’ understanding of mathematics as it relates to managing data. Students will apply methods for organizing and analysing large amounts of information; solve problems involving probability and statistics; and carry out a culminating investigation that integrates statistical concepts and skills. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. Students planning to enter university programs in business, the social sciences, and the humanities will find this course of particular interest.
Prerequisite: MCR3U0 or MCR3U1 (80%)
This course broadens students’ understanding of mathematics as it relates to counting techniques, probability and statistics. Students will design a game involving chance, and carry out a culminating investigation that integrates statistical concepts and skills. Students will have the opportunity to develop their problem solving skills in a new and often unfamiliar branch of mathematics. Enrichment topics include: additional probability distributions, more theoretical approaches to various theorems, and analysis of more complex real life problems and situations. This course will be useful for students planning to enter a variety of university programs such as business, the social sciences, computer science, economics and the humanities.
Prerequisite: MBF3C or MCF3M or MCR3U
This course enables students to broaden their understanding of real-world applications of mathematics. Students will analyse data using statistical methods; solve problems involving applications of geometry and trigonometry; solve financial problems connected with annuities, budgets, and renting or owning accommodation; simplify expressions; and solve equations. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems. This course prepares students for college programs in areas such as business, health sciences, and human services, and for certain skilled trades.
