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

Grade 9 (Senior 1)	Grade 10 (Senior 2)	Grade 11 (Senior 3)	Grade 12 (Senior 4)
Mathematics (10F)	Applied Mathematics (20S)	Applied Mathematics (30S)	Applied Mathematics (40S)
	Consumer Mathematics (20S)	Consumer Mathematics (30S)	Consumer Mathematics (40S)
	Pre-Calculus Mathematics (20S)	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, and visualization.

Grade 9 students are required to complete Grade 9 (Senior 1) Mathematics (10F). This compulsory credit course provides a foundation for Grade 10 to 12 mathematics courses.

Grade 9 Mathematics reflects a broad view of Senior Years mathematics, surveying topics from statistics, beginning algebra, probability, and geometry (see the table below). The underlying purpose is to engage students in thinking about and learning to use mathematics.

Topics in Grade 9 (Senior 1) Mathematics (10F)
Mathematical Reasoning Statistics Polynomials Linear Relations Probability Powers and Exponents Trigonometry Spatial Geometry or Transformational Geometry

 

A second optional mathematics course, Grade 9 (Senior 1) Transitional Mathematics, is offered to assist Grade 9 students who struggle with mathematics. It is not meant to replace Grade 9 (Senior 1) Mathematics (10F).

Through classroom learning activities in Applied Mathematics, students acquire technical communication skills, solve problems using technology, and develop responsibility and flexibility in their work habits.

Using technology as a tool, students explore many mathematical concepts, often while working on projects. While the content of the Applied Mathematics curriculum is similar to that of the Pre-Calculus Mathematics curriculum, the emphasis on technology as a means of solving problems allows modelling of many real-world situations. The following table identifies the topics addressed in the Senior Years Applied Mathematics curriculum.

Topics in Applied Mathematics
Applied Mathematics (20S) (Grade 10/Senior 2)	Applied Mathematics (30S) (Grade 11/Senior 3)	Applied Mathematics (40S) (Grade 12/Senior 4)
Spreadsheets Exploring Mathematics Using Technology Technical Communication Linear Models and Patterns 2D/3D Projects Relations and Functions Coordinate Geometry Measurement Technology Trigonometry Data Management and Analysis	Non-Linear Functions Personal Finance Systems of Equations Linear Programming Budgets and Investments Data Management and Analysis Precision Measurement Geometry	Matrix Modelling Vectors Personal Finance Probability Variability and Statistical Analysis Design and Measurement Applications of Periodic Functions Sequences

The Consumer Mathematics curriculum emphasizes number sense, consumer problem solving, and decision making.

Students develop valuable knowledge and skills that will allow them to make informed decisions as they become independent citizens. The Consumer Mathematics curriculum addresses financial management, career exploration, home ownership and maintenance, as well as more traditional topics such as trigonometry and statistics. The following table identifies the topics addressed in the Senior Years Consumer Mathematics curriculum.

Topics in Consumer Mathematics
Consumer Mathematics (20S) (Grade 10/Senior 2)	Consumer Mathematics (30S) (Grade 11/Senior 3)	Consumer Mathematics (40S) (Grade 12/Senior 4)
Problem Analysis Analysis of Games and Numbers Wages and Salaries Spreadsheets Trigonometry Spatial Geometry Consumer Decisions Geometry Project Personal Banking Probability and Sampling	Problem Analysis Analysis of Games and Numbers Relations and Formulas Income and Debt Data Analysis and Interpretation Measurement Technology Owning and Operating a Vehicle Personal Income Tax Applications of Probability	Problem Analysis Analysis of Games and Numbers Personal Finance Design and Measurement Government Finances Statistics Investigative Project Career/Life Project Investments Income Tax Variation and Formulas Completing a Portfolio

Pre-Calculus Mathematics is designed for students who will be continuing studies at the post-secondary level in fields related to mathematics and science. This curriculum is intended as preparation for calculus at the university level.

The study of functions is the major focus of the Pre-Calculus Mathematics curriculum. Other topic areas include algebra, geometry, trigonometry, probability, and statistics. The following table identifies the topics addressed in the Senior Years Pre-Calculus Mathematics curriculum.

Topics in Pre-Calculus Mathematics
Pre-Calculus Mathematics (20S) (Grade 10/Senior 2)	Pre-Calculus Mathematics (30S) (Grade 11/Senior 3)	Pre-Calculus Mathematics (40S) (Grade 12/Senior 4)
Polynomials and Factoring Analytic Geometry Trigonometry Exponents and Radicals Geometry Rational Expressions and Equations Functions Statistics and Probability Variation and Sequence	Quadratic Functions Trigonometry Algebra Analytic Geometry Geometry Consumer Mathematics Logic/Proof Functions	Circular Functions Transformations Trigonometric Identities Exponents and Logarithms Permutations, Combinations, and Binomial Theorem Conics Probability Geometric Sequences Statistics (Optional)
