Course Description
Math 10C (Combined) is the starting point for the -1 and -2 course streams. This course builds from simple to complex math understanding. A graphing calculator is required. A minimum mark of 65% in the previous math course completed is highly recommended.
This course is also available at the AP level.
Math 10-3, 20-3, and 30-3 is a sequence that provides the foundational understanding and critical-thinking skills for entry into many trades and for direct entry into the workforce. Math 20-3 is the minimum course required for high school graduation.
Math 20-1 and 30-1 is a rigorous course sequence designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs that require the study of calculus. Topics include algebra and number; measurement; relations and functions; trigonometry; and permutations, combinations and binomial theorem.
Math 20-2 and 30-2 is a course sequence 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 calculus. Topics include geometry, measurement, number and logic, logical reasoning, relations and functions, statistics, and probability.
Math 31 is an introductory course in calculus. It is a requirement for students considering engineering or math programs in post secondary or math-intensive programs in technical schools. A minimum mark of 65% in Math 30-1 is highly recommended for Math 31.
AP Calculus focuses on students’ understanding of calculus concepts and provides experience with methods and applications using a multi-representational approach (graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally) to calculus. AP Calculus AB is designed to be the equivalent of a first semester college calculus course devoted to topics in differential and integral calculus and may be used as a university equivalent course in some post-secondary programs. All students should complete math 30-1 or 30-1 AP with a minimum of 80% as a prerequisite to this course.
