CREDIT: 1TYPE: AcademicPREREQUISITE: A student may wish to write the Grade 12 AP Math course in their grade 12 year.

MAT2L1 MathematicsThis Grade 10 course is designed to allow students to solidify and extend their understanding of, andconfidence in using, the concepts developed in MAT1L so that they are well prepared for success in the

Mathematics Grade 11 Workplace Preparation course (MEL3E). In the Grade 10 course, students are askedto demonstrate a greater depth of understanding and level of complexity, in contexts that move them fromtheir immediate personal environment to the larger community.CREDIT: 1TYPE: Locally DevelopedPREREQUISITE: MAT1L1 - Mathematics; MFM1P1 - Foundations of Mathematics; MPM1D1 - Principles ofMathematics;

MFM2P1 Foundations of MathematicsThis course enables students to consolidate their understanding of linear relations and extend their problem-solving and algebraic skills through investigation, the effective use of technology, and hands-on activities.Students will develop and graph equations in analytic geometry; solve and apply linear systems, using real-life examples; and explore and interpret graphs of quadratic relations. Students will investigate similar

triangles, the trigonometry of right triangles, and the measurement of three-dimensional figures. Studentswill consolidate their mathematical skills as they solve problems and communicate their thinking.CREDIT: 1TYPE: AppliedPREREQUISITE: MPM1D1 - Principles of Mathematics; MFM1P1 - Foundations of Mathematics;

MPM2D1 Principles of MathematicsThis course enables students to broaden their understanding of relationships and extend their problem-solving and algebraic skills through investigation, the effective use of technology, and abstract reasoning.Students will explore quadratic relations and their applications; solve and apply linear systems; verifyproperties of geometric figures using analytic geometry; and investigate the trigonometry of right and acutetriangles. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-stepproblems.
