MATHEMATICS GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS Successful completion of any Grade 11 Math course satisfies the provincial graduation requirements Math Pathways from Grades 9 to 12 Note It is crucial that students check with the apprenticeship program college or university to find out which specific courses are needed for entry and in some cases what marks are needed in those courses for entrance to a specific program For specific post-secondary requirements refer to the following website httpwwweducationplannerca

MATH PATHWAYS for Grades 10 - 12

Each pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings rigour and critical-thinking skills that have been identified for specific post-secondary programs of study or for direct entry into the work force The content of each pathway has been based on the Western and Northern Canadian Protocol (WNCP) which governs curriculum in the Western Provinces and Northern Territories There are three pathways to consider

1) Apprenticeship and Workplace 2) Foundations 3) Pre-Calculus

When choosing a pathway students should consider their current interests and future plans

APPRENTICESHIP AND WORKPLACE MATHEMATICS 11 amp 12 (MAWM-11 MAWM-12)

This pathway is specifically designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into the majority of trades at post-secondary and for direct entry into the work force Topics include algebra geometry measurement number statistics and probability

FOUNDATIONS OF MATHEMATICS 11 amp 12 (MFOM-11 MFOM-12) 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 such as Economics Geography Arts or Humanities Topics include financial mathematics geometry measurement logical reasoning relations and functions and statistics and probability Most students will choose this pathway

PRE-CALCULUS 11 amp 12 (MPREC-11 MPREC-12)

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 such as Mathematics Sciences or Engineering Topics include algebra measurement relations and functions trigonometry permutations combinations and binomial theorem A small number of students will choose this pathway because of the higher-level topics included in it

Frequently asked question by parents ldquoWhich course is best suited to my childrdquo

While there is no ldquorulerdquo about which Math course is right for each student the decision can be made easier by thinking about your childrsquos ability in Math hisher interest in Math and hisher future education and career plans The math courses have been designed to facilitate student success after high school Your childrsquos education choice after high school depends in part on the courses heshe takes in high school To find out more information about each pathway option please talk to your childrsquos Principal counsellor and math teacher as well as visit wwwwncpca for more curriculum information Please note there are three pathways of math available at the grade 11 and 12 level The different pathways of math are different enough that students could benefit from taking more than one math course at any grade level

For example a student may choose to complete Foundations 11 before taking Pre-Calculus 11 in order to strengthen core skills and build confidence Students who enjoy mathematics may choose to take more than one math course at any grade level to broaden their mathematical knowledge and experience

CALCULUS 12 (MCALC-12) Calculus 12 is an introduction to university calculus It covers 50 to 75 of Calculus 100 thus easing the transition to what is often perceived as the most difficult first year university course Students planning to take Calculus 100 in first year university are encouraged to take Calculus Students must take Principles of Math 12 before taking Calculus Prerequisite Students should achieve a 73 or higher in Math 12 to qualify Class lists will be reviewed after 1st semester of the grade 12 year

ldquoMy daughter wants to study University Chemistry but her teacher has suggested Foundations hellip What should we dordquo While Pre-Calculus 11 or 12 will be required for University Science and Engineering programs it is important to understand the reason for the teacherrsquos recommendation for Foundations Foundations may have been suggested because your child found the Foundations and Pre-Calc 10 course very challenging The teacher is concerned that your daughter will be challenged by the content in the Pre-Calc pathway in grade 11 andor 12 It may also be that your childrsquos learning style is more suited to a less theory-based course like in the Foundations pathway Parents should review the prerequisite courses required for individual institutions With new courses starting for September there will be institutions that accept the Foundations stream courses for entry to programs instead of just Pre-Calc 11 andor 12
