Math Honors 1 Grade 9
Pre-requisite: Placement Testing, Grade 8 Math, and departmental recommendation and approval
1 year, 1 credit
This course is intended for students with very strong abilities in mathematics who have a
thorough background in basic algebra and are interested in taking IB Mathematics Higher
Level in Grades 11 and 12. It is designed to develop analytical thinking and deductive
reasoning among students so that they can solve more challenging problems. Topics covered
in this course include the following: solving and graphing linear equations and inequalities
in one and two dimensions; solving systems of equations and inequalities; exponents and
polynomials; factoring; simplifying radical expressions and solving radical equations;
functions and transformations; perimeters, areas, and properties of polygons; surface area
and volume of polyhedra; proofs of triangle congruency and similarity; solving triangles
using trigonometry; and statistics.
Math 2 Grade 10
Pre-requisite: Math 1 or Integrated Math 1 with departmental recommendation and approval
1 year, 1 credit
This course is intended for students whose interests and academic strengths lie in areas
where no more than general mathematics is needed. One goal of this course is to provide
students with reinforcement in basic algebra and geometry, while potentially preparing
students for entry into IB Math Studies in Grade 11. Practical real-life situations are
incorporated whenever possible to motivate lessons, thereby creating rich opportunities for
visualization, exploration and the development of an intuitive understanding of algebra,
functions and geometry. Topics include: variables and expressions; solving linear equations
and proportions; area, perimeter and volume; similarity; statistics and probability.
Integrated Math 2 Grade 10
Pre-requisite: Integrated Math 1 and/or departmental recommendation and approval
1 year, 1 credit
Integrated Math 2 is intended for students who have satisfactorily completed Integrated
Math 1. This course integrates Advanced Algebra and Geometry and prepares students for
IB Mathematics SL and IB Mathematical Studies SL. Topics include solving systems of linear
equations and quadratic equations both algebraically and graphically and working with
functions. This course also covers exponents, radical and quadratic functions, trigonometry,
statistics and probability, number systems and sets, and regression.
