Grade 9
This course is mandatory for grade 9 students and is offered in two pathways: De-streamed (MTH1W), and Pre-Advanced Placement (Pre-AP). The Grade 9 Math curriculum focuses on number sense, algebra, geometry, data management, and introductory proportional reasoning. Students will develop problem-solving, logical reasoning, and communication skills. The Pre-AP pathway provides enriched content and faster pacing to prepare students for Advanced Placement mathematics in senior grades.
Highlights: solving real-world algebra problems, exploring geometric constructions, analyzing data sets, and hands-on projects involving ratios, proportions, and linear relationships. (EQAO information below)
Grade 10
This course is mandatory for grade 10 students and is offered in three pathways: Academic (MPM2D), Applied (MPM2P), and Pre-Advanced Placement (Pre-AP). The Grade 10 Math curriculum includes algebra (linear and quadratic equations), geometry (properties of shapes and transformations), trigonometry, and data management. Academic students prepare for university-level math courses, Applied students focus on practical applications, and Pre-AP students experience enriched content and accelerated pacing.
Highlights: investigating quadratic functions, applying trigonometry to real-world problems, exploring geometric transformations, and analyzing statistical data.
Grade 11
Grade 11 students select their math pathway based on their post-secondary plans. Pathways include University Preparation (MCR3U, MCF3M), College Preparation (MBF3C, MFM3P), and Advanced Placement (AP Pre-Calculus). The curriculum deepens understanding of algebra, functions, trigonometry, probability, and statistics. Students develop higher-level reasoning, problem-solving, and analytical skills to prepare for Grade 12 and post-secondary mathematics.
Highlights: solving complex function problems, exploring trigonometric identities, designing probability experiments, and analyzing real-world data sets using statistical methods.
Grade 12
Grade 12 math courses are designed to meet post-secondary requirements, with pathways including University Preparation (MHF4U, MCV4U), College Preparation (MAP4C, MDM4U), and Advanced Placement (AP Calculus/Statistics). Students refine skills in calculus, advanced functions, data management, and discrete math. University pathway courses prepare students for STEM programs, College pathway courses emphasize applied problem-solving, and AP courses offer enriched content for advanced study.
Highlights: investigating calculus concepts through real-world applications, modeling with advanced functions, exploring statistical analysis and probability, and solving challenging problem sets to prepare for university or AP exams.
