Mathematics 9 (MMA--09)

Mathematics 9 prepares students to use a variety of methods to solve real-life practical, technical, and theoretical problems. They will develop a sense of powers with integer exponents and variable and rational bases. Students will learn to solve problems involving rational numbers using algebraic and visual methods. They will learn to generalize, design, and justify mathematical procedures using appropriate patterns, models, and technology. Other topics include Linear Relations, Proportional Reasoning, Statistics, and Financial Literacy. On top of this Content, students will be expected to show learning and growth through the Core Competencies of Communication, Thinking, and Personal and Social Responsibility.

 

Workplace Math 10 (MWPM-10)

This course 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 algebra, two- and three-dimensional geometry, trigonometry, measurement, and income.

 

Foundations and Pre-Calculus Math 10 (MFMP-10)

This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for entry into most post-secondary programs, both those that require Calculus and those that do not. Students taking this course will decide whether to pursue Foundations of Math 11, Pre-Calculus 11, or Enriched Pre-Calculus 11 next year. Topics include Rational and Irrational Numbers, Exponents, Polynomials, Linear Functions, Trigonometry, and Financial Literacy. On top of this Content, students will be expected to show learning and growth through the Core Competencies of Communication, Thinking, and Personal and Social Responsibility.

 

Workplace Math 11 (MWPM-11)

This course is designed for students who have passed Workplace Math 10. It focuses on topics in mathematics that will be most applicable in jobs that do not require University level training, including financial mathematics, geometry, volume and surface area, data representation, trigonometry, and mathematical puzzles and games. Apprenticeship and Workplace Math 11 satisfies Ministry of Education graduation requirements but may not be sufficient for entry into some post-secondary programs. Please check with individual institutions for details.

 

Foundations of Math 11 (MFOM-11)

This course is designed for students who have passed Foundations and Pre-Calculus Math 10. It focuses on topics in mathematics that will be most applicable for College and University programs that do not require Calculus, including the Humanities and Social Sciences, and Fine Arts. It is the appropriate course selection for most students intending to pursue post-secondary education as it covers a much wider range of topics than the Pre-Calculus 11 course, which only focuses on a narrow branch of mathematics. Topics will include Euclidean Geometry including Proofs, Logical Reasoning, Systems of Equations, Quadratic Functions, the History of Mathematics, and Statistics. It satisfies the Ministry of Education graduation requirements but may not be sufficient for entry into some post- secondary programs. Please check with individual institutions for details.

 

Pre-Calculus 11 (MPREC11)

Recommended: B in Foundations and Pre-Calculus Math 10

This course is designed for students who have passed Foundations and Pre-Calculus Math 10. It focuses on topics in mathematics that will be most applicable for University programs that require Calculus, including Science, Math, and Engineering. Students not intending on pursuing a career in these fields should take Foundations of Math 11 as it offers a broader range of mathematical topics. Topics in Pre-Calculus 11 are limited to those required for Calculus, including Absolute Value, Radicals, Quadratic and Rational Functions and Inequalities, Polynomials, and Trigonometric. Functions. Of the three grade eleven courses, this course is the most abstract and has the least applications to most careers as it is a theoretical mathematics course. It satisfies the Ministry of Education graduation requirements but may not be sufficient for entry into some post- secondary programs. Please check with individual institutions for details.

 

Enriched Pre-Calculus 11 (MPREC11AP)

Recommended: A in Foundations and Pre-Calculus 10

This course is intended for strong math students that would otherwise be registered in Pre-Calculus 11 and are planning on taking AP Calculus in their Grade 12 year. It covers the entire Pre-Calculus 11 curriculum and part of the Pre-Calculus 12 curriculum. See above and below for details on each course. Students will be introduced to AP® style exam questions and should accept the challenge of a faster pace and be ready to conceptualize the mathematics covered rather than memorize it.

 

Apprenticeship Math 12 (MAPPR12)

This is the final course in the Apprenticeship and Workplace Pathway. It is an appropriate choice for students who are interested in pursuing an apprenticeship program at the post-secondary level or who do not plan on pursuing post-secondary studies. Topics include Financial Mathematics, Geometry, Probability, Logical Reasoning, and Precision, Accuracy and Uncertainty of Measurements.

 

Foundations of Mathematics 12 (MFOM-12)

This course is designed for students taking non-science and math programs at the university or college level. Many of these programs do not require Foundations of Math 12, so it can be considered an elective course. Students should check the entrance requirements of their post- secondary program of choice when selecting a grade twelve math course. Topics include Logical Reasoning, Financial Mathematics, Probability and Combinatorics, and Polynomial, Sinusoidal and Logarithmic Functions.

 

Pre-Calculus 12 (MPREC12)

This course is designed for students who intend to continue their study of mathematics at the university or college level. It is a requirement for many post-secondary math, science, engineering, and business programs. Note that some non-math-based programs specifically require Foundations of Math 12 and not Pre-Calculus 12, so students should check the entrance requirements of their post-secondary program of choice when selecting a grade twelve math course. Topics include Transformations of Functions, Exponential and Logarithmic Functions, Polynomial Functions, Radian Trigonometry, Trigonometric Proofs, Geometrics Sequences and Series, and Rational and Radical Functions.

 

Pre-Calculus 12 On-Line (RVS) (XAT-12PREC)

This course is designed for MacNeill students who want to work at their own pace and it is taught by a MacNeill teacher. The content covered will be identical to the Pre-Calculus 12 course offered at the school. It will be a combination of online activities and face-to-face meetings, and students will complete most assignments online but write tests in a classroom. Face-to-face and online help are available from the teacher if needed.

 

Enriched Pre-Calculus 12 (MPREC12AP)

Recommended: Minimum 70% in Enriched Pre-Calculus 11

This course is designed for Grade 12 students who will be taking this class concurrently with AP Calculus or for Grade 11 students who wish to take AP Calculus in their Grade 12 year. It is highly recommended that students who take this course, take Enriched Pre-Calculus 11 in Grade 11. The course will cover the Pre-Calculus 12 curriculum as required, but with a focus on topics required for AP Calculus. AP-style questions will be adapted for this Math 12 class to prepare students for the language commonly used in AP Calculus. Please see the course description for Pre-Calculus 12 for further details.

 

AP ®Calculus (Advanced Placement) 12 (ACAL-12)

NOTE: students signing up for this course must also sign up for Enriched Pre-Calculus 12

This is a University-level course designed for motivated students who are planning on taking further mathematics at a post-secondary institution. It uses a multi-representational approach to calculus, with concepts, results and problems being expressed graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. The connections among these representations are also important. The students have an opportunity to write the Advanced Placement Exam in May. If they receive a sufficiently high score, they could earn post-secondary credits (from certain institutions) for mathematics and be exempt from taking certain first-year mathematics courses.
