The main goals of mathematics education are to prepare you to:

  • solve problems
  • communicate and reason mathematically
  • make connections between mathematics and its applications
  • become mathematically literate
  • appreciate and value mathematics
  • make informed decisions as contributors to society

Credits: The following Math courses are 5 credits.

Prerequisites:

  • 50% minimum is required to progress to the next level in a sequence
  • Learn more | see Appendix B for details about transfers between course sequences


Diploma Pth | -1 and -2 Course Sequences

Math 10C

  • involves topics such as measurement, powers, irrational numbers, functions and
    relations, and trigonometry
  • focuses on algebraic skills and reasoning
  • provides several choices after you successfully complete it and move to 20-level
    courses

Math 20-1, 30-1

  • investigate the relationships between relations and functions, and engage in
    trigonometric topics
  • develop abstract reasoning and visualization in a problem-solving environment
  • prepare you for a entrance requirements for post-secondary institutions vary; be sure to
    check their websites

Math 20-2, 30-2

  • focus on investigation into logical reasoning, relations and functions, and trigonometry
  • develop problem-solving, reasoning and communication in many ways, including a self-selected research project on a topic of interest
  • prepare for a post-secondary program that does not require calculus (entrance
    requirements for post-secondary institutions vary; be sure to check their websites)

Post-secondary Path | Requiring Calculus

Math 31

  • prerequisite or co-requisite: Math 30-1
  • introduces skills and topics inlus
  • investigates a variety of topics; focuses on the limit of a function and looks at the
    relationship between differentiation and integration

Diploma Path | -3 at the 20-level or higher
Certificate of High School Achievement Path | -3 at the 10-level

Math 10-3, 20-3, 30-3

  • engage in measurement skills, geometry, personal and business finances, and statistics
    and probability
  • emphasize practical math found in day-to-day activities
  • prepare you for entry into some apprenticeship programs, trades or the workforce after
    high school completion

Certificate of High School Achievement Path | -4 Course Sequence

Math 10-4, 20-4

  • engage in measurement skills, number concepts and probability as they would be used
    in the workplace
  • develop problem-solving and reasoning skills in a team environment
  • prepare you for the workplace or further training that may not involve post-secondary
    education
  • Important | written consent and a learning plan are required to register in each -4
