MTH1W
MTH1W is the new de-streamed grade 9 course designed to tackle the inequities that are created from streaming kids into applied and academic pathways coming out of Elementary School. MTH1W has been created to provide all students with the opportunity to explore the math that is used in both a University and College pathway. By delaying the choice of pathway, students and families are provided the opportunity make a better informed decision with regards to what the student wants to do as a career, and what pathway is required as a result.

The big strand topics are:
Number Sense, Algebra, Data, Geometry and Measurement, and Financial Literacy. An overarching Strand of Mathematical Thinking and Making Connections is woven throughout the course so that students can be reflective learners who can problem solve by representing a problem through the appropriate selection of tools and strategies. By the end of the course students will be better able to make connections between concepts and communicate results.
MPM2DE
MPM2DE is an enriched program for students interested in enrolling in the International Baccalaureate for grade 11 and 12. In addition to covering the grade 10 academic curriculum, MPM2DE has been designed to expose students to concepts they will encounter in Grade 11 math. A link to the Grade 10 curriculum can be found here: Grade 10 Curriculum
Enriched topics include:
Functions, Function Notation, Domain and Range, Inverse of a Function, Simplifying Rational Expressions + Restrictions, Point of Intersection between a Quadratic and a Line, and Special Triangles.
MPM2D
MPM2D is the prerequisite course for any of the grade 11 math courses offered. We review essential concepts that are required from grade 9 to start off the course to ensure that students have the skills that are required to be successful in MPM2D. There are three major strands: Quadratics, Analytic Geometry - involves solving systems of linear equations, and Trigonometry.
MCR3U
In this course, we review and build upon the skills developed in grade 10 to prepare you for higher level math in grade 12. Topics will include an introduction into what functions are, how they are notated, and how they are graphed. In addition to building upon our trigonometric skills from grade 10, we will also explore the graphs of sin(x) and cos(x) as well as where they can be applied in the real world. Finally, we will look at series and sequences, exponentials and the applications to financial math.
