Credit: 1

This is the foundation mathematics course for all mathematics courses that follow.  There are nine units to study to set the foundation for the mathematics courses in GRADE 10 – GRADE 12.  Students are expected to attend regularly, complete assignments daily, and come in for extra help to get necessary explanations as needed.  Assessment will include mental math, quizzes, tests, homework checks and daily activities, and a final exam.

Mathematics Grade 10 (MATY2G)

1 Credit Grade 9-10 level

This course was designed to strengthen the basic skills of students to build a firm foundation for Pre-Calculus mathematics.   Students with a Grade 9 mark of 70% or below will be required to participate in this class before continuing on to Pre-Calculus.   The course will investigate different number systems while focusing on the 4 basic math operations.  Other areas that will be reviewed are trigonometry, factoring, exponents and soling word problems.  Assessment will include mental math, daily assignments, quizzes, homework and tests.

Pre-Calculus Mathematics Grades 10, 11, 12   (PCMR2S) (PCMR3S), (PCMR4S)

Credit: 1          each level

Pre-Calculus Mathematics is a demanding course aimed at students who intend pursuing Mathematics and Science at a Post Secondary Level.  It is important that students establish a strong foundation in each level before moving on to the next level.  It is expected that students attend regularly, complete all assigned work, participate positively in classes and seek extra help when necessary.  Assessment will include mental math, homework checks, quizzes, tests, hand-in assignments/projects and final exams.  GRADE 12 Provincial Final Exam is 30% of the final mark.

Applied Mathematics GRADE 11 – GRADE 12 (APMR3S), (APMR4S)

Credit: 1          each level

Applied Mathematics is designed to give students the foundations required to tackle a wide variety of challenges encountered in business and industry.  Throughout the 2 levels students will: investigate mathematical situations and formulate results using a mathematical language, solve problems using a variety of techniques and communicate the solutions in oral and written forms, use technology to learn new mathematical contents and take responsibility for mastery of concepts and skills.  Assessment will include quizzes, tests, mental math, homework checks, term projects, journals, and final exams.  A “TI83 or TI84” calculator is mandatory for all three courses.  Cost is approximately $120.00.   GRADE 12 Provincial Final Exam is 30% of the final mark.

Consumer Mathematics GRADE 10 – GRADE 12   (COMR2S), (COMR3S), (COMR4S)

Credit: 1          each level

Consumer Mathematics is designed to give students the foundations required for daily life as a consumer and for business and industry.  In all 3 levels students will learn to value mathematics, develop confidence in their mathematical abilities, develop problem solving strategies, develop communication skills, develop proficiency in basic skills and understanding of fundamental concepts and use technology to assist in solving problems.  Assessment will include a variety of the following: quizzes, tests, homework checks, journals, portfolios, mental math, term projects, and final exams. GRADE 12 will write a Provincial Final Exam consisting of a project, portfolio/interview, and written exam for a total of 30% of the final mark.

Advanced Mathematics / Calculus  GRADE 12  (ADMR4S) / (CALR4S)

Credit: .5         each level

This course is designed to give students the foundations required for further study in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering at the university level.  Students will apply advanced problem solving techniques to a wide variety of problems.

The first half of this course explores statistics, and matrices.  The second half is an introduction to Calculus including limits, derivatives, and integrals.

Students must have completed PCMR4S prior to taking this course.
