Math Honors 2 Grade 10
Pre-requisite: Math Honors 1 with departmental recommendation and/or approval
1 year, 1 credit
Math Honors 2 is intended for highly motivated students with very strong abilities and a
thorough background in mathematics. The aim of this course is to prepare the students for
IB Mathematics HL. Emphasis is given to an in-depth understanding of concepts, together
with meaningful acquisition and refinement of advanced algebra and pre-calculus skills.
Topics include: equations and inequalities involving absolute values; relations and
functions; linear, quadratic, polynomial, radical, rational, exponential, logarithmic,
trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions, probability, matrices and complex
numbers.
Math 3 Grade 11
Pre-requisite: Integrated Math 2 or Math 2
1 year, 1 credit
Math 3 is a course intended for students who do not wish to take IB Mathematics and who
do not foresee the need for mathematics in their later studies. The goals of Math 3 are to
provide a solid grounding in Algebra and Geometry as well to develop students' problem
solving skills, with particular focus on word problems, use of a graphing calculator and SAT
preparation. A broad range of concepts are covered, such as advanced algebra and
geometry, and an introduction to statistics, probability, trigonometry, and financial math.
Topics include: earning and spending; measurement; data in context; saving and
borrowing; statistics; geometry and mensuration; networks and matrices; simulating
random process; functions and graphs; models of growth.
Math 4 Grade 12
Pre-requisite: Math 3
1 year, 1 credit
Math 4 is designed to give students access to, and experience of, a wide range of
mathematical models and techniques used for solving problems in many contexts of human
endeavor. These contexts range from enterprise and business to recreation, research and
the needs of the individual or the community. The applications are diverse, studied in
context and are supported by appropriate use of technology. Students will study applied
geometry; share investments; mathematics and small business; matrices; investment and
loans; statistics; probability and optimization. Students will work on developing proficiency
with mathematical skills, strategies in problem solving and SAT preparation.
