Math
Math/Mathématiques 10C (5 credits)
Recommended Prerequisite: 60% + in Math 9
French Immersion – requires registration in FLA 10, same prerequisite
The Grades 10-12 Mathematics Program of Studies includes a combined Grade 10 course called Mathematics 10C that is the starting point for the -1 and -2 courses (see diagram above). This will allow Math 10C students to postpone choosing a mathematics course sequence until Grade 11. Math 10C also offers students a smoother transition from junior high to high school, as well as the opportunity to access more resources before making decisions about course sequences. This new math program also offers a greater transferability between sequences if their career or post-secondary goals change. The topics covered include measurement, trigonometry, polynomials, systems of equations, relations and functions, and radicals and exponents.
Math/Mathématiques 10-3 (5 credits)
Recommended Prerequisite: 40% - 60% in Math 9 or 50% from Math 20-4
French Immersion – requires registration in FLA 10, same prerequisite
A course focusing on basic mathematical understanding. Major topics that will be covered in this course include measurement, trigonometry, geometry, finance and reasoning, everyday problems, interpreting information and creating new knowledge within the context of the home, the workplace and the community. Mathematics competencies are developed through a problem-solving, experiential approach, using information and activities that directly relate to student’s current and future experiences.
Math/Mathématiques 20-1 (5 credits) Pre-Calculus
Recommended Prerequisite: 60% in Math 10 Common
French Immersion - Prerequisite: 60% in Mathematics 10 C and registration in FLA 20
This course is the most academic continuation of Math 10C. There is a continued emphasis on precise mathematical theory. The approaches are primarily algebraic and graphical. This course is designed for students whose post-secondary studies will focus in the areas of science and/or mathematics.
Math 20-2 (5 credits)
Recommended Prerequisite: 50% - 59% in Math 10C
This program is an academic math program that can be used for entrance into many non-math and science University programs and would be a better choice in some cases for improving a high school student’s GPA. Topics include Measurement, Geometry, Logical Reasoning, Statistics, Relations, Functions, and a Mathematical Research Project.
Math 20-3 (5 credits)
Recommended Prerequisite: 50% in Math 10-3 or 40% in Math 10 C
Continuation of Math 10-3. Topics Include Measurement, Geometry, Finance, Linear Algebra and Statistics. This course sequence has been developed for those students who are considering a career in the trades.
Math/Mathématiques 30-1 (5 credits)
Recommended Prerequisite: 60% in Math 20-1
French - Prerequisite 60% in Math 20-1 and registration in FLA 30
Topics include Trigonometry, Relations and Functions, Permutations, Combinations and Binomial Theorem. This course can be used to gain entry into math, science, engineering, and finance programs in university. Check program requirements to ensure requirements are fulfilled. This is a diploma course - students will write a government exam worth 30% of their final mark.
Math 30-2 (5 credits)
Recommended Prerequisite: 50% in Math 20-2 or 40% in Math 20-1
Continuation of Math 20-2. Topics include Logical Reasoning, Probability, Relations and Functions, and a Mathematical Research Project. This course can be used to gain entry into non-math and science courses in university. Check program requirements to ensure requirements are fulfilled. This is a diploma course - students will write a government exam worth 30% of their final mark.
Math 30-3 (5 credits)
Recommended Prerequisite: 50% in Math 20-3 recommended or 40% in Math 20-1 or Math 20-2
Continuation of Math 20-3. Topics include Measurement, Geometry, Algebra, Statistics, and Probability. This course sequence has been developed for those students who are considering a career in trades. There is no diploma exam for this course.
Math 31 (5 credits)
Co-requisite: Math 30-1
Math 31 teaches the mathematics of Calculus. Students apply all previously learned algebraic skills to the topics of limits, derivatives and integrals. The course is intended for students who will be entering post-secondary routes that involve mathematics and the sciences. There is no diploma exam for this course.
Knowledge & Employability Math
Math 10-4 & Math 20-4
Knowledge & Employability Mathematics courses focus on developing essential mathematics knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for everyday living at home, in the workplace and in the community. This sequence is designed for students whose needs, interests and abilities focus on basic mathematic understanding (e.g. literacy). Emphasis is on the acquisition of practical life skills and competency in using mathematics to solve everyday problems, interpret information and create new knowledge within the context of the home, the workplace and the community. Mathematics competencies are developed through a problem-solving, experiential approach, using information and activities that directly relate to student’s current and future experiences. Knowledge and Employability mathematics courses emphasize career/life skills, teamwork, communication skills and thinking processes.
Students with success in Math 10-4 or 20-4 who wish to upgrade to 10-3 or 20-3 may do if they have earned 65% or better. Please refer to the Course Sequencing chart on the previous page for guidelines.
