12. G RADE 10 – I NTRO. T O A PPLIED AND P RE -C ALC M ATH Intro. to Applied and Pre-Calculus Mathematics 20 This math is intended for students considering post-secondary studies that require a math prerequisite. This pathway provides students with the mathematical understanding and critical-thinking skills that have been identified for specific post-secondary programs of study. The topics studied form the foundation for topics to be studied in both Grade 11 Applied Mathematics and Grade 11 Pre-Calculus Mathematics.

13. G RADE 11 – G RADE 12 M ATHEMATICS Pre-Calculus Mathematics This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs that require the study of theoretical calculus. Topics include algebra and number, measurement, permutations, combinations and binomial theorem, relations and functions, and trigonometry. Pre-Calculus Math is the prerequisite for Pre-Calculus Math.

14. G RADE 11 – G RADE 12 M ATHEMATICS Applied Mathematics This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require the study of theoretical calculus. Topics include financial mathematics, geometry, logical reasoning, measurement, number, relations and functions, statistics and probability. Applied Math is the prerequisite for Applied Math.

15. G RADE 10 – G RADE 12 M ATHEMATICS Essential Mathematics This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into the majority of trades and for direct entry into the work force. Topics include algebra, geometry, measurement, number, statistics and probability. Essential Math is the prerequisite for Essential Math.

37. U NIVERSITY E NTRANCE G RADE 11 N OTE : Grade 11 final grades are used for Entrance to University in student’s Grade 12 year.

38. O THER U NIVERSITIES - E NTRANCE 1.Most Universities recommend at least 6 approved 40 level courses (PE credit does not count). 2.U of Alberta – require Pre-Calculus Math and Calculus. 3.Students must check the requirements for the University of their choice (i.e. – U of Alberta Engineering – requires Calculus and Advanced Mathematics).

39. G RADE 11 NOTES Math Courses – should reflect your post secondary needs. Suggest that all students carry 2 math courses. Many University / College entrance scholarships are determined by your final Grade 11 marks. Grade 11 marks are used to determine entrance to Post-Secondary Institutes when applying in the student’s grade 12 year for the December registration deadline. Points to consider by Grade 11 students:

40. G RADE 12 GRADUATION NOTE For Graduation you must have a minimum of: 5 – 30 level courses (4 compulsory + 1 elective), and 5 – 40 level courses (3 compulsory + 2 electives). PE 30S / 40S are not used for entrance requirements to university or for scholarships. Post Secondary Institutions usually require five 40 level courses with a final percent grade from four different areas (areas include: Languages, Math, Social Studies, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Family Studies).

41. G RADE 10 - 12 C OURSES S ELECTION Selection will be done on-line. Students have received a worksheet and instructions for doing their registration on-line.
