This course is a year-long course that begins with Numeracy 9 in Semester 1 and continues with Math 9 in Semester 2.  IT is intended for incoming Grade 8 students who are not yet ready for Math 9 but would like to build their skills in a supportive environment and complete a university-prep mathematics sequence in Grades 10-12.  Topics covered include a review of order of operations, basic algebraic techniques, integers, fractions, and graphing along with the topics covered in a traditional Math 9 class.  Students will receive a mark for Numeracy 9 and a mark for Math 9.

Students should be recommended for this program through the articulation process from middle school.

Foundation: None

Numeracy 9 is a mathematics option for students who have had significant challenges with middle school level math.  The course works to develop basic skills with whole numbers, integers, fractions, and associated concepts in the context of thematic units based on real-world problems. Upon completion of Numeracy 9, students are prepared to enter directly into Math 10 Workplace while students who achieve proficiency with integers, fractions, algebra, and graphing are prepared for Math 9.  Students who need extra support with basic math skills but would like to complete a university prep mathematics sequence (Foundations or Precalculus) should register for both Numeracy 9 and Math 9. 

Foundation: Math 8 

This course is designed to consolidate and extend topics introduced in the middle school years. Topics include operations with rational numbers, exponents, algebra, linear relations, financial planning, and statistics. At the end of this course, students will be prepared for Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 OR Workplace Mathematics 10. A Math 9 called “Numeracy 9” exists in our school. This course is designed for students who have been identified by their teachers as needing support with middle school mathematics and are not yet prepared to begin regular Math 9.  From Numeracy 9 a student can continue to Workplace Math 10 OR choose to work through Math 9 to become ready for Math 10 Foundations and Pre-Calculus.

This course is designed to provide students with a review of basic skills and an introduction to the Foundations and Pre-Calculus Math 10 course. Topics include Rational Numbers and Linear Equations, Exponents and Radicals, Polynomials and Factoring, and Graphing.  This course is a half-block non-credit course that is offered in Block 0 from 8:25-8:55 for the entire year. The first semester would focus on building their skills from grade 9 and the second semester would support them as they are actively taking the course. All enrolling students would be taking Foundations and Pre-Calculus Math 10 course in the second semester.  

Foundation: Math 9 developing and a teacher recommendation.  

This option is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into the majority of trades and for direct entry into the work force. Topics include measures of central tendency, unit conversions, measurements of 2-D and 3-D objects, trigonometry, creating and analyzing graphs, probability and financial literacy. At the end of this course students are prepared for Workplace Math 11

Foundation: Math 9 or Numeracy 9.

This option is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical-thinking skills identified for post-secondary academic studies at colleges and universities. Topics include applying trigonometric ratios to right triangles, irrational numbers, powers involving integral and rational exponents, polynomials, linear relations, systems of linear equations, function notation, and gross and net pay. At the end of the course, students are prepared for either Workplace Math 11, Foundations of Mathematics 11, or PreCalculus 11.

Foundation:  Math 9 with recommended developing or higher OR in conjunction with Math 10 Support 

This course is designed to provide students with the opportunity to learn and practice practical math and problem-solving skills that will help them be successful in their future employment and their personal life. This course is designed for students who plan to either go into the trades or directly into the workforce. Topics include measurement, probability, data analysis, finance, ratio, and scale.

Foundation: Workplace Math 10 or Foundations & Pre-Calculus Math 10.

This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require the study of theoretical calculus. This might include the Humanities, Fine Arts, some Trades, and Technical programs. The course will include such topics as measurement, relations and functions, geometry, statistics, and logical reasoning.

Foundation: Foundations & Pre-Calculus Math 10 with 60% or higher recommended.

This course is designed to provide students with mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs that require the study of theoretical calculus. This might include Mathematics, Sciences, Engineering, and Commerce. The course will include radical and rational equations, quadratic functions, and equations, the trigonometry of non-right triangles, compound interest, investments, and loans.

Foundation: Foundations & Pre-Calculus Math 10 with 70% or higher recommended.

This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require the study of theoretical calculus. This might include the Humanities, Fine Arts, some Trades, and Technical programs. Topics include financial mathematics, logic with numbers, set theory, probability, combinatorics, relations, and functions.

Foundation: Foundations of Math 11 with 70% or higher or Pre-Calculus 1.

This course completes the Pre-Calculus sequence of mathematics and covers mathematical theory and competencies crucial for theoretical calculus. It is required for entry into many university-level programs including mathematics, sciences, engineering, economics, and business. Topics include analysis and transformations of relations and functions (exponential & logarithmic, polynomial, radical, rational, and trigonometric), sequences and series, logarithms, trigonometric identities and equations, and conics. This course requires fluency with algebraic manipulation and graphing.   

Foundation:  Pre-Calculus 11 with 70% or higher strongly recommended 

This course is designed for students with well-developed mathematical skills who plan to take calculus at a post-secondary institution. The main topics are functions, limits, continuity, derivative rules, curve sketching, relatedrates problems, maximum-minimum problems, integrals, areas, and volumes by integration. Exposure to calculus in secondary school is strongly recommended for all students planning to study sciences, applied sciences, or business in university, as it is highly correlated with success in university calculus classes.

Foundation: Precalculus 12 with 70% or higher recommended.

This course, in combination with Calculus 12, comprises the majority of the first year of university-level calculus. Students will review and extend their knowledge of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and other areas as appropriate in preparation for the AP exam in May.  Topics include differentiation, integration, and other calculus topics in theory and as applied to contextual problems. This course runs in spring semester, and students should begin the course with a basic understanding of crucial calculus concepts such as limits, derivatives, and integrals.

Foundation: Calculus 12 OR Pre-Calculus 12 with 95% or higher and recommendation of teacher.

Statistics 12 provides an introduction to statistical concepts and ways of thinking. Students will explore the role of statistical thinking in research, observational and experimental studies, graphical and numerical representations of variation, the association between two variables, and inferential concepts such as confidence intervals and hypothesis tests. The focus throughout the course is on understanding and interpretation of statistical results, and the course emphasizes intuitive approaches based on software and technology as well as the clear and appropriately justified communication of statistical findings. Successful completion of this course will position students for success in university-level statistics. Highly recommended for students interested in
studying Psychology, Sociology, Economics, Education, or Sciences at a post-secondary institution.
