Honours Mathematics Program

Honours Mathematics 9:

Prerequisite:
86% or higher in Mathematics 8, an entrance test and/or teacher recommendation.

This is an enriched and not accelerated Mathematics course which will lead to the next course entitled Honours Mathematics 10.  Students who are motivated, hardworking, and strong in mathematics will be challenged to cover the topics of Number Operations, Algebra, Trigonometry, Measurement, Transformations, Geometry, Linear Functions, Data Analysis and Probability.  There will be an increased emphasis in problem solving throughout the course.  Students will be required to maintain high grades and participate in a few national math competitions.

Honours Mathematics 10:

Prerequisite:
80% or higher in Honours Mathematics 9 and/or teacher recommendation. If there are spaces available, this would be an entry point for other successful Math 9P students.

This is an enriched and not accelerated Mathematics course which will lead to the next course entitled Honours Mathematics 11.  Students must be motivated and hardworking to successfully complete this course.  There is an increased emphasis in problem solving and a Provincial Exam worth 20%.  Students will be required to maintain high grades and participate in a few national math competitions.

Honours Mathematics 11:

Prerequisite:
80% or higher in Honours Mathematics 10 and/or teacher recommendation.  If there are spaces available, this would be an entry point for other successful Math 10P students. 

This is an enriched and not accelerated Mathematics course which will lead to the next course entitled Honours Mathematics 12.  Students must be motivated and hardworking to successfully complete this course.  There is an increased emphasis in problem solving.  Students will need a T1-83 graphing calculator for this course, for Math 12 and for Calculus. Students will be required to maintain high grades and participate in a few national math competitions.

Honours Mathematics 12

Prerequisite:
80% or higher in Honours Mathematics 11 and/or teacher recommendation.  If there are spaces available, this would be an entry point for other successful Math 11P students.

This is an enriched and not accelerated Mathematics course which will be offered in semester 2 of a student's grade 11 year.  This is a prerequisite course for A.P.Calculus the following year.  There is a Provincial Exam worth 40%.  Students will be required to write the Canadian Open Math Challenge and Euclid, a Canadian National Math Competition.

A.P.Calculus (4 credit course)

A.P. Calculus is intended for students who have already completed Math 12 in their grade 11 year and who desire a more vigorous exposure to university-level Calculus.  Students who have not completed Math 12 may be admitted into A.P.Calculus on the advice of the course instructor.  This is a year long (linear) course.
