Students willsolve problems involving geometric and algebraicrepresentations of vectors, and representations oflines and planes in three-dimensional space,broaden their understanding of rates of changeto include the derivatives of polynomial, rational,exponential, and sinusoidal functions, and applythese concepts and skills to the modelling ofreal-world relationships. This course is intendedfor students who plan to study mathematics inuniversity and who may choose to pursue careersin fields such as physics and engineering.26Grade 12 Advanced Functions(University Preparation – MHF 4U1)Prerequisite: MCR 3U1 or MCT 4C1This course extends student’s experiences withfunctions. Students will investigate the propertiesof polynomial, rational, logarithmic, andtrigonometric functions, broaden theirunderstanding of rates of change, and developfacility in applying these concepts and skills.This course is intended both for students whoplan to study mathematics in university and forthose wishing to consolidate their understandingof mathematics before proceeding to any oneof a variety of university programs.Grade 12 Mathematicsof Data Management(University Preparation – MDM 4U1)Prerequisite: MCR 3U1 or MCF 3M1This course broadens students’ understandingof mathematics as it relates to managing data.Students will apply methods for organizing largeamounts of information, solve problems involvingprobability and statistics, and carry out aculminating project that integrates statisticalconcepts and skills. Students planning to enteruniversity programs in business, the socialsciences, and the humanities will find this courseof particular interest.Grade 12 Mathematics forCollege Technology(College Preparation – MCT 4C1)Prerequisite: MCR 3U1 or MCF 3M1This course enables students to extend theirknowledge of functions. Students will investigateand apply properties of polynomial, exponential,and trigonometric functions, continue to representfunctions numerically, graphically, andalgebraically, develop facility in simplifyingexpressions and solving equations, and solveproblems that address applications of algebra,trigonometry, vectors, and geometry. This courseprepares students for a variety of collegetechnology programs. This course may beoffered as an in-school or eLearningcourse.Grade 12 Foundations forCollege Mathematics(College Preparation – MAP 4C1)Prerequisite: MBF 3C1This course enables students to broaden theirunderstanding of real-world applications ofmathematics. Students will analyze data usingstatistical methods, solve problems involvingapplications of geometry and trigonometry, simplifyexpressions, and solve equations. This courseprepares students for college programs in areassuch as business, health sciences, and humanservices, and for certain skilled trades.Grade 12 Mathematics forWork and Everyday Life(Workplace Preparation – MEL 4E1)Prerequisite: MEL 3E1This course enables students to broaden theirunderstanding of mathematics as it is appliedin the workplace and daily life. Students willinvestigate questions involving the use of statistics,apply the concept of probability to solve problemsinvolving familiar situations, investigateaccommodation costs and create householdbudgets, use proportional reasoning, estimateand measure, and apply geometric concepts tocreate designs.Native StudiesGrade 10 AboriginalPeoples in Canada(Open – NAC 2O1)This course emphasizes historical andcontemporary issues that affect the relationshipbetween Aboriginal peoples and Canadiangovernments. Students will examine legal, political,social and economic issues; key aspects of theIndian Act and its revisions that have an impact onthe daily lives of Aboriginal persons; the differenttypes of relationships that Aboriginal peoples haveestablished with other nations throughout history;and the methodology of historical inquiry.Grade 11 Aboriginal Beliefs,Values and Aspirations InContemporary Society(College Preparation – NBV 3C1)Prerequisite: NAC 2O1 or CHC 2D1 orCHC 2P1This course focuses on the beliefs, values andaspirations of Aboriginal peoples in Canada.Students will examine world views of Aboriginalpeoples and the political, economic, culturaland social challenges facing individuals andcommunities. Students will also learn howtraditional and contemporary beliefs andvalues influence the aspirations and actions ofaboriginal peoples.
