Essential Mathematics<br />

MEM20S<br />

Dept. of Ed. Code 3000-20S Credit: 1<br />

Prerequisite: Gr. 9 Math<br />

Grade 10 Essential Mathematics (20S) is<br />

intended for students whose post-secondary<br />

planning does not include a focus on<br />

mathematics and science-related fields. Grade<br />

10 Essential Mathematics (20S) emphasizes<br />

consumer applications, problem solving,<br />

decision making, and spatial sense. Topics<br />

include: measurement (imperial and metric),<br />

introduction to Trigonometry, Finance<br />

(calculating income and deductions, currency<br />

conversion, unit rate), angle construction, and<br />

transformations.<br />

Intro to Applied & Pre-Calculus<br />

Mathematics – Practical<br />

MAP20S<br />

Dept. of Ed. Code 3905-20S Credit: 1<br />

Prerequisite: 70% in Gr. 9 Math<br />

MAP20S is intended for students wanting to take<br />

Applied Math in grade 11. MAP20S topics are<br />

taught with a mix of relying on calculators and<br />

computers (technology) and traditional pencil<br />

and paper computations. A foundation in<br />

algebraic manipulation, graphing techniques,<br />

and mental math is the goal. Topics include<br />

measurement (imperial and metric),<br />

trigonometry, factoring, rational exponents, and<br />

linear equations.<br />

Intro to Applied & Pre-Calculus<br />

Mathematics – Theoretical MTH20S<br />

Dept. of Ed. Code 3905-20S Credit: 1<br />

Prerequisite: 85% in Gr. 9 Math<br />

MAT20S is intended for students wanting to take<br />

Pre-Calculus in grade 11, and those expecting<br />

to further their mathematical studies at<br />

university. MAT20S is taught with less focus on<br />

the use of technology (calculators) and more so<br />

on the traditional pencil and paper approaches<br />

to problem solving. Students will focus on the<br />

presentation of algebraic manipulations, multiple<br />

graphing techniques, mental math, and logical<br />

reasoning. Topics include measurement<br />

(imperial and metric), trigonometry, factoring,<br />

rational exponents, functions, and systems of<br />

linear equations.<br />

Pre-Calculus Mathematics<br />

MPC30S<br />

Dept. of Ed. Code 3939-30S Credit: 1<br />

Prerequisite: 60% in MAT20S or<br />

80% in MAP20S<br />

Grade 11 Pre-Calculus Mathematics (30S) is<br />

designed for students who intend to study<br />

- 57 -<br />

calculus and related mathematics as part of<br />

post-secondary education. The course<br />

comprises a high-level study of theoretical<br />

mathematics with an emphasis on problem<br />

solving and mental mathematics. The topics<br />

include sequences, quadratic functions, absolute<br />

values, rational numbers, reciprocal functions,<br />

and trigonometry.<br />

Applied Mathematics<br />

MAM30S<br />

Dept. of Ed. Code 3903-30S Credit: 1<br />

Prerequisite: 50% in MAT20S or<br />

65% in MAP20S<br />

Grade 11 Applied Mathematics (30S) is intended<br />

for students considering post-secondary studies<br />

that do not require a study of theoretical<br />

calculus. It promotes the learning of numerical<br />

and geometrical problem solving techniques as<br />

they relate to the world around us. Primary<br />

goals of Applied Mathematics are to have<br />

students develop critical-thinking skills through<br />

problem solving and model real-world situations<br />

mathematically to make predictions. Topics<br />

include factoring (quadratics), statistics,<br />

trigonometry, systems of linear equations.<br />

Essential Mathematics<br />

MEM30S<br />

Dept. of Ed. Code 3904-30S Credit: 1<br />

Prerequisite: Gr. 10 Math<br />

Grade 11 Essential Math (30S) is intended for<br />

students whose post-secondary planning does<br />

not include a focus on mathematics and<br />

science-related fields. Grade 11 essential<br />

Mathematics emphasizes consumer<br />

applications, problem solving, decision making,<br />

and spatial sense. Students are expected to<br />

work both individually and in small groups on<br />

mathematical concepts and skills encountered in<br />

everyday life in a technological society. Topics<br />

include finance (budgeting, compound interest,<br />

credit cards), measurement (imperial and metric,<br />

volume, surface area), statistics (graphing),<br />

relations and patterns, and trigonometry.<br />

Pre-Calculus Mathematics<br />

MPC40S<br />

Dept. of Ed. Code 3939-40S Credit: 1<br />

Prerequisite: 60% in MPC30S<br />

This course is designed for students interested<br />

in Science or University entrance. The topics<br />

include study of transformations of functions,<br />

trigonometric functions, exponential functions,<br />

logarithmic functions, polynomial functions,<br />

radical functions, rational functions, and the<br />

binomial theorem. This course builds<br />

significantly on the material learned in MPC 30S.<br />

As a result, a student should have demonstrated<br />

proficiency in MPC 30S.
