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.
