Math upgrade 20S

In math 20S, students will  work on multiplication, division, decimals, fractions, percentages, word problems, algebra, area and perimeter, and personal finances in order to prepare for math 30S.

Consumer mathematics 30S

This course begins with a short review of basic skills and then emphasizes consumer applications, problem-solving and decision-making, as well as number sense, number use and communicating mathematically. Students will study the following topics: income and debt, relations and functions, data analysis and interpretation, measurement, owning and operating a vehicle, personal income tax and application of probability.

Consumer mathematics 40S

Students will expand their mathematical literacy by understanding how mathematical concepts permeate daily life, business, industry and government by focusing on such topics as personal finance, government finance, variations and formulas, statistics, investments, taxation, design and measurement, and a career/life project.

Applied math 30S

The goal of applied math is to prepare students for technologist training in post-secondary institutions or apprenticeship. While the content of the applied mathematics curriculum is similar to that of the pre-calculus mathematics curriculum, the emphasis on solving problems allows modelling of many real-world situations. This course reviews the basics of algebra, then specifically teaches linear and non-linear functions, systems of equations, linear programming, data management and analysis, and precision measurement and geometry, including trigonometry.

Applied math 40S

The goal of applied math is to prepare students for technologist training in post-secondary institutions or apprenticeship. While the content of the applied mathematics curriculum is similar to that of the pre-calculus mathematics curriculum, the emphasis on solving problems allows modelling of many real-world situations. This course specifically teaches matrix modelling, vectors, personal finance, probability, variability and statistical analysis, design and measurement, applications of periodic functions, and sequences.

Pre-calculus 30S

This course is designed for students who intend to study calculus and related mathematics as part of their post-secondary education. The course is designed primarily as a high-level study of theoretical mathematics with an emphasis on problem-solving and mental mathematics. Topics include: quadratic functions, trigonometry, geometry, analytic geometry, functions, consumer mathematics and logic/proof.

Pre-calculus 40S

For students who intend to study calculus and related mathematics as part of their post-secondary education, this course is designed primarily as a high-level study of theoretical mathematics with an emphasis on problem-solving and mental mathematics. Topics include: transformations, circular functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, permutations and combinations, probability and conic sections.
