This course relates math to everyday life and the workplace. This is for students looking for a math course that meets their numeracy level. This course should only be taken after consulting with a math teacher or guidance counsellor first.
Possible pathway after: MPM2D or MEL3E
MCR3U1/5 - Grade 11 Functions (University)
This course introduces the mathematical concept of the function by extending students’ experiences with linear and quadratic relations. Students will investigate properties of discrete and continuous functions, including trigonometric and exponential functions; represent functions numerically, algebraically, and graphically; solve problems involving applications of functions; investigate inverse functions; and develop facility in determining equivalent algebraic expressions. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.
MCF3M1/5 - Grade 11 Functions & Applications (Mixed)
This course introduces basic features of the function by extending students’ experiences with quadratic relations. It focuses on quadratic, trigonometric, and exponential functions and their use in modeling real-world situations. Students will represent functions numerically, graphically, and algebraically; simplify expressions; solve equations; and solve problems relating to applications. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.
MBF3C1/5 - Grade 11 Foundations for College Mathematics (College)
This course enables students to broaden their understanding of mathematics as a problem solving tool in the real world. Students will extend their understanding of quadratic relations; investigate situations involving exponential growth; solve problems involving compound interest; solve financial problems connected with vehicle ownership; develop their ability to reason by collecting, analysing, and evaluating data involving one variable; connect probability and statistics; and solve problems in geometry and trigonometry. Students will consolidate their mathematical skills as they solve problems and communicate their thinking.
MEL3E - Grade 11 Workplace Level Math
This course relates math to everyday life and the workplace. This is for students looking for a math course that meets their numeracy level. This course could be a possible final math course, in order to graduate. This course should only be taken after consulting with a math teacher or guidance counsellor first.
Possible pathway after: MEL4E

MEL4E - Grade 12 Math for Work & Everyday Life
Prerequisite: MEL3E
This course could be a possible final math course, in order to graduate, for those who would like to extend their skills beyond MEL3E.
Note: this course cannot be used as part of a student’ s top 6 gr 12 U/M courses for university entrance.
MDM4U1 - Grade 12 Mathematics of Data Management (University)
Prerequisite: MCF3M1 or MCR3U1 (recommended)
This course broadens students’ understanding of mathematics as it relates to managing information. Students will apply methods for organizing large amounts of information; apply counting techniques, probability, and statistics in modelling and solving problems; and carry out a culminating project that integrates the expectations of the course and encourages perseverance and independence. Students planning to pursue university programs in business, the social sciences, or the humanities will find this course of particular interest.
MAP4C1 - Grade 12 Foundations for College Mathematics (College)
Prerequisite: MBF3C
This course equips students with the mathematical knowledge and skills they will need in many college programs. Students will use statistical methods to analyze problems; solve problems involving the application of principles of geometry and measurement to the design and construction of physical models; solve problems involving trigonometry in triangles; and consolidate their skills in analyzing and interpreting mathematical models.
MHF4U1 - Grade 12 Advanced Functions (University)
Prerequisite: MCR3U1
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.
MCV4U1 - Grade 12 Calculus & Vectors (University)
Prerequisite: MCR3U1
Corequisite: MHF4U1 (take MHF4U1 Sem 1 and MCV4U1 Sem 2)
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the homework/workload increase from grade to grade?
Most students will notice an increase in difficulty as you progress through the various grades, as the curriculum becomes more rigorous. Consequently, students must dedicate additional time and effort. The critical thinking required at the senior grade levels increases dramatically. You are given class time to do work, use it wisely.
How do I know which course I should take in Grade 11?
Based on the idea that Math is a cumulative subject (see above question), if math is your strength then you will lean towards the University level courses. You need at least one grade 11 credit in math in order to get your high school diploma. If Math is a real struggle for you, then you may want to consider taking a College level or Mixed level course in grade 11.
How do I know which course(s) I should take in Grade 12?
That depends on what your goals are after you're done high school and what prerequisites you have for the grade 12 courses. You'll also want to look at what course(s) are required for the program(s) you are applying for. If you only need one grade 12 math course, choose between MDM4U1 and MHF4U1 (read course descriptions and decide on what interests you more). If you are planning to take MCV4U1, we typically have students take MHF4U1 in the first semester and then MCV4U1 in the second semester as you will be prepared for it that way.
What resources can I use to improve my math skills? Is there any extra work I can do?
The homework we assign is sufficient for you to learn the skills being taught in each course, there is really no need for you to find other resources, please prioritize the work that is assigned to you in class. If you have trouble with your homework, ask your teacher questions! You are given ample time in class to work on your homework whenever possible, so if you are having trouble make sure to ask. You may also want to consider signing up for a peer tutor through our school peer tutoring program.
How do I know which course code to use for French Immersion Math?
Some of our courses are offered in French. If you are taking a French immersion math course, the last number in the code will be a 5 instead of 1. For example, the course code for Grade 10 Math in French is MPM2D5 but in English it is MPM2D1.
