Students can meet the Mathematics graduation requirements through any of the pathways described below. All pathways are designed to provide students with mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills. It is the choice of topics through which those skills are developed that varies among the pathways. For more information on specific course offerings, click HERE.
Make sure the pathway you’ve selected satisfies any Post-Secondary entrance requirements for that specific program.
Workplace Mathematics Pathway (Grades 10 – 11) |
| This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for entry into some trades and for direct entry into the work force. Topics include conversions, measurement, trigonometry, and financial literacy. |
Pre-Calculus Mathematics Pathway (Grades 10 – 12) |
| This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs that require the study of theoretical calculus such as Science, Engineering, Computer Science, Human Kinetics or Business. Topics include algebra and number systems, measurement, relations and functions, and trigonometry. |
Foundations Mathematics Pathway (Grades 10 – 12) |
| This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs in the arts or fine arts. Topics include algebra and number systems, measurement, relations and functions, trigonometry, logic and reasoning, and financial literacy. This pathway will not prepare students for university calculus. |
*Students will be required to write a numeracy assessment as a mandatory graduation requirement. This will take place during their Grade 10 year. For more information click HERE.
