Students must successfully complete a minimum of one mathematics credit in each of the Senior Years, as listed in the following table.

Grade 9	Grade 10	Grade 11	Grade 12
Mathematics (10F)	Essential Mathematics (20S)	Essential Mathematics (30S)	Essential Mathematics (40S)
	Introduction to Applied and Pre-Calculus (20S)	Applied Mathematics (30S)	Applied Mathematics (40S)
		Pre-Calculus Mathematics (30S)	Pre-Calculus Mathematics (40S)
		Principles of Accounting (30S) *	Systems of Accounting (40S) *

* Principles of Accounting (30S) and Systems of Accounting (40S) are part of the Senior Years Technology Education Program and are acceptable as mathematics credits for high school graduation.

A list of specific learning outcomes for all mathematics courses and a summary of post-secondary acceptance of mathematics curricula are available.

 

The Senior Years mathematics curricula emphasize important interrelated processes, including communication, connections, estimation and mental mathematics, problem solving, reasoning, visualization and technology. The curricula are derived from the Western Northern Canadian Protocol (WNCP).

Grade 9 students are required to complete Grade 9 Mathematics (10F). This compulsory credit prepares students for multiple possible pathways in Grades 10 to 12.

The learning outcomes are divided into four stands of Number; Patterns and Relations; Shape and Space; Statistics and Probability. A focus on developing problem-solving skills will enable students to gain a deeper understanding of mathematics. The emphasis is on "why" and not just "how".

Topics in Grade 9 Mathematics (10F)
Number Sense Statistics and Probability Polynomials Linear Relations and Equations Similarity and 2D Shapes and 3D Objects Powers Circle Geometry Symmetry

A second optional mathematics course, Grade 9 Transitional Mathematics, is offered to assist Grade 9 students who struggle with mathematics. It is not meant to replace Grade 9 Mathematics (10F).

This pathway is intended for students whose post-secondary planning does not include a focus on mathematics and science-related fields. Each grade of Essential Mathematics is a one-credit course consisting of two half-credits, each emphasizing consumer applications, problem solving, decision making and spatial sense.

The following table identifies the topics addressed in the Essential Mathematics curriculum.

Topics in Essential Mathematics
Essential Mathematics (20S) Grade 10	Essential Mathematics (30S) Grade 11	Essential Mathematics (40S) Grade 12
Analysis of Games and Numbers Income Units of Measurement 2D Geometry Trigonometry Consumer Decisions Transformation of 2D Shapes Angle Construction	Analysis of Games and Numbers Interest and Credit 3D Geometry Statistics Trigonometry Managing Money Relations and Patterns Design Modelling	Analysis of Games and Numbers Vehicle Finance Precision Measurement Statistics Career Life Geometry and Trigometry Home Finance Business Finance Probability

This curriculum 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 learning outcomes are divided into three broad topics of Measurement; Algebra and Number; Relations and Functions. The following table identifies the specific topics addressed in the Introduction to Applied and Pre-Calculus Mathematics curriculum.

Topics in Grade 10 Introduction to Applied and Pre-Calculus Mathematics
Units of Measurement Surface Area and Volume of 3D Objects Trigonometry Factors and Products of Polynomials Irrational Numbers and Rational Exponents Linear Functions Systems of Linear Equations Graphs and Relations

This pathway is intended for students considering post-secondary studies that do not require a study of calculus but may require a study of statistics. Applied Mathematics is context driven and promotes the learning of numerical and geometrical problem-solving techniques often using technology as a tool.

The following table identifies the topics addressed in the Applied Mathematics curriculum.

Topics in Applied Mathematics
Applied Mathematics (30S) (Grade 11)	Applied Mathematics (40S) (Grade 12)
Quadratic Functions Reasoning to Solve Problems Geometry of Angles and Triangles Research Project Systems of Linear Inequalities Trigonometry Statistics Scale Factors for 2D Shapes and 3D Objects	Sinusoidal Functions Personal Finance Design and Measurement Research Project Permutations and Combinations Probability Polynomial Functions Exponential and Logarithmic Functions Logic

This pathway is intended for students who plan to study calculus and related mathematics as part of post-secondary education. The course comprises a high-level study of theoretical mathematics with an emphasis on problem solving and mental mathematics.

The following table identifies the topics addressed in the Pre-Calculus curriculum.

Topics in Pre-Calculus Mathematics
Pre-Calculus Mathematics (30S) (Grade 11)	Pre-Calculus Mathematics (40S) (Grade 12)
Quadratic Functions and Equations Sequences and Series Absolute Value and Reciprocol Functions Radical and Rational Equations Trigonometry Inequalities Non Linear Systems	Transformation of Functions Trigonometric Functions Trigonometric Equations and Identities Permutations, Combinations and Binomial Theorem Polynomial, Radical and Rational Functions Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
