Article 1: About Math course
MATHEMATICS 8 incentive:
This course covers the same curriculum as the Mathematics 8 course (and part of Mathematics 9), but at a faster pace, and to a greater depth for specific topics. It is only for highly-motivated students who have a higher-than-average ability and interest in mathematics. Students will be challenged with extension activities, which may include the writing of mathematics contests and/or projects. The entire Mathematics 8 curriculum and approximately two-thirds of the Mathematics 9 curriculum will be completed by the end of this course. Students who successfully complete this course with a sufficiently high enough grade may continue onto Pre-AP Honours Mathematics 9/10. Students who pass this course without a sufficiently high enough grade should take regular Mathematics 9 in the subsequent year.
MATHEMATICS 9:
This mathematics program continues to develop the math concepts and thinking skills from Mathematics 8. The core curriculum consists of number operations, algebra, logic, measurement, geometric constructions, probability and statistics, as well as financial literacy.
MATHEMATICS 10 FOUNDATIONS OF MATHEMATICS AND PRE-CALCULUS:
This course combines mathematical knowledge with curricular competencies in problem solving, reflection, and communication skills to help students develop multiple ways to mathematics. The core curriculum consists of number operations, algebra, arithmetic sequences, linear functions, trigonometry, data analysis, and financial literacy
MATHEMATICS 11 FOUNDATIONS:
This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical thinking skills needed for post-secondary studies in the arts. Students and parents are encouraged to research the admission requirements for post-secondary programs since they vary from institution to institution and from year to year. The core curriculum consists of mathematical reasoning, angle relationships, graph analysis, applications of statistics, scale models, as well as financial literacy, and will continue to focus on the mathematical processes learned in previous mathematics courses.
PRE-AP ENRICHED MATHEMATICS 11 (PRE-CALCULUS):
This course is designed for highly motivated students who have demonstrated strong mathematical ability. All the topics of Pre-calculus 11 will be covered in a more enriched and accelerated level than in the regular Pre-calculus 11 course. Students taking this course are expected to participate in various math competitions.
MATHEMATICS 12 FOUNDATIONS:
This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical thinking skills needed for post-secondary studies in the arts. Students and parents are encouraged to research the admission requirements for post-secondary programs since they vary from institution to institution and from year to year. The core curriculum consists of geometry, functions, regression analysis, probability, combinatorics, and financial planning, and will continue to focus on the mathematical processes learned in previous mathematics courses.
MATHEMATICS 12 PRE-CALCULUS:
This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical thinking skills needed for post-secondary studies in the sciences. Students and parents are encouraged to research the admission requirements for post-secondary programs since they vary from institution to institution and from year to year. The core curriculum consists of transformations and analyses of various functions used in higher mathematics, geometric sequences and series, as well as trigonometry, and will continue to focus on the mathematical processes learned in previous mathematics courses.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT CALCULUS 12:
This course follows the College Board Advanced Placement curriculum and is the equivalent of a first-year university calculus course. Students who write the AB or BC exams in May and score 4 or better will be granted Calculus 12 AP credit. University results show that students who have taken Calculus 12 do significantly better in first year university where calculus is a required course for many programs. Main topics will include limits, differentiation, derivatives of trigonometric and logarithmic functions, curve-sketching, anti-derivatives, integration, and problems involving maximum/minimum, rate, and growth/decay. A graphics calculator (such as Texas Instrument 83 to TI-89) is highly recommended.
