Math


Math is more than memorizing formulas and doing calculations. Math involves:

  • Highly practical and hands-on problems and skills
  • Rich problem-solving activities in collaboration with your peers
  • Some problems that will stretch your understanding to the abstract and theoretical
  • Using technology to develop, demonstrate and communicate your mathematical understandings

Courses in Mathematics are offered with instruction in English, French (F) and Spanish (S) where enrollment warrants. Note: Five credits at the 20 level are required to obtain an Alberta High School Diploma. Students may fulfill this requirement with 20-1, 20-2, or 20-3. Both Mathematics 30-1 and Mathematics 30-2 are diploma examination courses.

To register for Mathematics 10C, a student must have demonstrated Basic, Good or Excellent Achievement in Mathematics 9. For a student who did not meet grade 9 level expectations in Mathematics, the course options are Math 15, 10-3 or Math 10-4. Mathematics 10C is the starting point for the –1 and –2 course sequences (see diagram above).

Pre-Calculus (-1 Course Sequence)

This course sequence 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 calculus (for example: Engineering, Mathematics, Science and Business).

Fundamentals of Mathematics (-2 Course Sequence)

This course sequence 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 calculus (for example: Arts program, Civil Engineering Technology and Medical Technologies). This sequence is designed to fulfill the needs of most students.

Workplace and Apprenticeship (-3 Course Sequence)

This course sequence is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into the majority of trades or directly into the work force.

Knowledge and Employability (-4 Course Sequence)

This course sequence is designed to develop basic mathematical knowledge and skills necessary for everyday life and work situations.
