Mathematics Common Math 10 (FMP 10) 4 credits Prerequisite: Math 9 Units of Study Measurement Systems There is a required Provincial Exam at the end of the course worth 20% of the final mark. Common Math 10 Honours (FMP 10) 4 credits (Foundations of Mathematics & Pre-calculus 10) Prerequisite: an “A” in MA 9 or a “C+” in MA 9H Common Math 10 Honours takes the concepts of Common Math 10 and expands them and focuses more on the application of the material covered. The curriculum is the same as Common Math 10 but the emphasis is on enrichment by adding material that complements the topics. Students taking Common Math 10H will be prepared for any of the new grade 11 math courses. Common Math 10H students write the same final exam as the regular Common Math 10 students but receive a 5% bump on their class mark each term. There is a required Provincial Exam at the end of the course worth 20% of the final mark. Apprenticeship Math 10 (AWM 10) 4 credits (Apprenticeship & Workplace Math 10) Prerequisite: Math 9 Units of Study Units of Measurement – SI and Imperial (Conversions) There is a required Provincial Exam at the end of the course worth 20% of the final mark. Principles of Math 11 (MA 11) 4 credits Prerequisite: MA 10 (C+ or better strongly recommended) This course is for students who wish to pursue a math, business or science related field of study. Principles of Math 11 is a challenging course, which emphasizes symbol manipulation, a variety of problem solving techniques, and more sophisticated concepts required for further studies in mathematics. This course fulfills the basic math requirement for graduation and is a prerequisite for Principles of Math 12, which is required for studies in Calculus. Topics in the course include polynomials, algebraic systems, rational and irrational expressions, relations and functions, trigonometry, geometry, and data analysis.
Principles of Math11 Honours (MA 11) Prerequisite: “A” in Ma 10, “C+” in Ma 10H 4 credits Math 11H expands the topics covered in Math 11 to focus more on the preparation for Math 12 and Calculus. The course is supplemented with Math 12 material and a unit that introduces Calculus to students. A 5% bump is added to the class mark and the final exam is the same as the 11P course with an additional honours section.
Essentials of Mathematics11 (EMA 11) Prerequisite: Ma 10 or EMA 10 4 credits The course emphasizes the practical applications of learning and the skills needed in the workplace. This course does meet the graduation requirement for Math. The Essentials of Mathematics curriculum is intended to provide a practical, contextual focus that will enable students to develop their mathematical knowledge, skills and attitudes in the context of their lives and possible careers. The student should carefully investigate the Math prerequisites for their particular post secondary goals and discuss these with their counsellor. Mathematics 12 (MA 12) 4 credits Prerequisite: "B" in Pr. MA 11 strongly recommended. Although Math 12 is not required for University or College entrance, it is essential for students wishing to pursue further education in science or technology. This course requires a thorough understanding of Math 11. There is very little review of the prerequisite concepts. A student should have at least a “B” in Math 11 to be successful in Math 12. The topics covered in Math 12 include: Polynomial functions Trigonometric Identities Circular functions Geometric proofs Logarithms Conics Trigonometry Theory Combinatorics Trigonometric Proofs Transformations Sequences and Series Problem Solving There is an optional Provincial Exam at the end of this course worth 40% of the final mark.
Calculus 12 (CALC 12) 4 credits Prerequisite: Math 11 (“B” or better) or Math 12 (“C+” or better). Math 12 can be taken during first semester, as Calculus 12 will be offered in second semester. Calculus 12 would be of interest to students planning further education in such areas as Science, Engineering, Technology and Business. Traditionally, first year university Calculus courses have been extremely challenging, especially to students with little Calculus background. This course will provide students with a basic understanding of limits, derivatives, and integrals. Applications and problem solving will be emphasized throughout the course. This course will also provide students with an understanding of the historical development of Calculus and of the people who contributed to this development. Strong Math skills, good work habits and an ability to deal with abstract concepts are essential. **Note: This is not AP Calculus 12 and is offered in second semester only. AP Calculus 12 (APCAL 12) 4 credits Prerequisite: Math 11 (“B” or better) or Math 12 (“C+” or better). Usually Math 12 is taken in the first semester with Calculus 12 in second semester. Advanced Placement Calculus gives the students the opportunity to pursue college-level studies while still in secondary school and to receive advanced placement credit on entering college. It is based on the belief that college-level courses can be successfully taught to motivate and to provide enrichment for mathematically able secondary school students. The course is intended for students who have thorough knowledge of college preparatory mathematics, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry and analytic geometry. Calculus 12 consists of a full academic year of work in elementary and transcendental functions, differential and integral calculus with its methods and applications. |
