Mathematics Foundations 9 / Mathématiques 9
This course is the continuation of the grade 8 Mathematics Foundations course. The central focus of this course is problem solving to understand mathematical concepts and skills.
Essential Mathematics 10 / Mathématiques au quotidien 10
This course is intended for students whose postsecondary planning does not include a focus on mathematics and science-related fields. This course emphasizes consumer applications, problem solving, decision making and spatial sense.
Intro to Applied and Pre-Calculus Mathematics 10 /
Introduction aux mathématiques appliquées et pré-calcul 10
This course is intended for students considering post-secondary studies that require a math prerequisite. This course provides students with the mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills that are required for specific postsecondary programs.
Essential Mathematics 11 + 12 / Mathématiques au quotidien 11 + 12
This stream is for students who are not intending to pursue further math-related studies after graduation. These courses meet the requirements for high school graduation and for general admission at any Manitoban university.
Applied Mathematics 11 + 12 / Mathématiques appliquées 11 + 12
This stream stresses applications of mathematics and uses graphing calculators, computers and other smart devices to support learning. Students will build on foundations learned in the Intro to Applied and Pre-Calculus 10 course by placing theory in a real-world context.
Pre-Calculus Mathematics 11 + 12 / Mathématiques pré-calcul 11 + 12
This advanced stream is for students intending to pursue post-secondary studies that will require the study of theoretical calculus or other higher-level math courses.
Advanced Mathematics/Calculus 12
This course is highly recommended for students who are particularly interested in mathematics and intend to specialize in math related fields such as calculus at university.
