GRADE 12<br />
There are three options in Grade 12.<br />
<strong>Claremont</strong> <strong>Secondary</strong> – <strong>Course</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> <strong>2013</strong>-<strong>2014</strong><br />
Students are only required to take up to grade 11 math to graduate, but many post-secondary<br />
programs will require one of the grade 12 courses, and requirements may vary from one college<br />
or university to the next. Please do some research on admissions requirements before<br />
choosing a pathway.<br />
Students may take more than one pathway.<br />
APPRENTICESHIP AND WORKPLACE MATHEMATICS 12 (4303)<br />
Apprenticeship and Workplace Mathematics 12 is designed to provide students with the<br />
mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into the majority<br />
of trades at the post-secondary level and for direct entry into the work force.<br />
FOUNDATIONS OF MATHEMATICS 12 (4410)<br />
Foundations of Math 12 is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings<br />
and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs that do not<br />
require the study of theoretical calculus, like Economics, Geography, Arts, or Humanities.<br />
PRE-CALCULUS 12 (4300)<br />
Principles of Mathematics 12 is intended for students planning to pursue post-secondary<br />
education in Sciences, Social Sciences, Business or Mathematics. There is an emphasis on<br />
formal structures, correct terminology, symbol manipulation and the interconnections within<br />
mathematics.<br />
CALCULUS 12 (4326)<br />
This introductory Calculus course is intended for students who have already completed<br />
Principles of Math 12 but who do not wish to attempt the more challenging AP Calculus AB<br />
course. Our experience has shown that students who take Calculus in high school are far more<br />
likely to succeed in first-year Calculus at university.<br />
AP CALCULUS AB (4420)<br />
The AP Calculus AB course provides students with an opportunity to earn credit for university<br />
level calculus (for example: Math 100) while still in high school. It covers all of the topics<br />
offered in Calculus 12 in addition to areas between curves, volumes of rotation, and slope<br />
fields. Students who enrol in AP Calculus AB will write the Calculus 12 exam in January and<br />
the AP exam during the AP examination session in May. Students who successfully complete<br />
AP Calculus earn 4 credits for Calculus 12. Students will also earn first year university math<br />
credits, provided they achieve an AP exam score of 4 or 5. AP Calculus AB is only offered in<br />
first semester.<br />
