MathematicsCourses OverviewGrade 9 Applied MathPrerequisite: none This course enables students to develop mathematical ideas and abstract reasoning through exploration of applications, the effective use of technology, and extended experiences with hands-on activities. Students will investigate relationships of straight lines in analytic geometry, solve problems involving the measurement of three-dimensional objects and two-dimensional figures, and apply key numeric and algebraic skills in problem solving. Students will also have opportunities to consolidate core skills and deepen their understanding of key mathematical concepts Grade 9 Academic MathPrerequisite: none This course enables students to develop generalizations of mathematical ideas through exploration of applications, the effective use of technology, and abstract reasoning. Students will investigate relationships to develop equations of straight lines in analytic geometry, explore relationships between volume and surface area of objects in measurement, and apply extended algebraic skills in problem solving. Students will engage in abstract extensions of core learning that will deepen their mathematical knowledge and enrich their understanding Grade 10 Applied MathPrerequisite: none This course enables students to consolidate their understanding of key mathematical concepts through hands-on activities and to extend their problem solving experiences in a variety of applications. Students will solve problems involving proportional reasoning and the trigonometry of right triangles; investigate applications of linear functions; solve and apply systems of linear equations; and solve problems involving quadratic functions. The effective use of technology in learning and in solving problems will be a focus of the course. Grade 10 Academic MathPrerequisite: none This course enables students to broaden their understanding of relations, extend their skills in multi-step problem solving, and continue to develop their abilities in abstract reasoning. Students will pursue investigations of quadratic functions and their applications; solve and apply linear systems; solve multi-step problems in analytic geometry to verify properties of geometric figures; investigate the trigonometry of right and acute triangles; and develop supporting algebraic skills Grade 11 FunctionsPrerequisite: Grade 10 Academic MathThis course introduces some financial applications of mathematics, extends students' experiences with functions. Students will solve problems in personal finance involving applications of sequences and series; investigate properties and applications of trigonometric functions; develop facility in operating with polynomials, rational expressions, and exponential expressions; develop an understanding of inverses and transformations of functions; and develop facility in using function notation and in communicating mathematical reasoning. Students will also investigate the properties and applications of conics Grade 11 Everyday MathPrerequisite: Grade 9 Academic Math or Grade 9 Applied Math This course enables students to broaden their understanding of mathematics as it is applied in important areas of day-to-day living. Students will solve problems associated with earning money, paying taxes, and making purchases; apply calculations of simple and compound interest in saving, inverting, and borrowing; and calculate the costs of transportation and travel in a variety of situations. Grade 11 Functions and RelationsPrerequisite: Grade 10 Academic Math This course introduces some financial applications of mathematics, extends students' experiences with functions, and introduces second-degree relations. Students will solve problems in personal finance involving applications of sequences and series; investigate properties and applications of trigonometric functions; develop facility in operating with polynomials, rational expressions, and exponential expressions; develop an understanding of inverses and transformations of functions; and develop facility in using function notation and in communicating mathematical reasoning. Students will also investigate loci and the properties and applications of conics Grade 12 MathPrerequisite: Grade 11 Functions & RelationsStudents considering this course should have a good background, achievement and ability in dealing with abstract mathematical concepts. This course is a prerequisite for most of the Ontario Academic Courses in mathematics. Topics include deductive proofs of congruence, parallelism, and similarity; relationships associated with the circle; relations, functions and their graphs; applied trigonometry; exponential and logarithmic functions; graphs of second degree equations (parabola, circle, ellipse, hyperbola); polynomials and higher degree equations; absolute values; radicals and statistics.
