Grade 12 Math Courses

Course Title:
Foundations for College Mathematics

Course Code:
MAP4C1

Course Type:
Grade 12, College Preparation

Subject Area:
Mathematics

Program Differentiation:
Regular One Credit course

Description:
This course enables students to broaden their understanding of real-world applications of mathematics. Students will analyse data using statistical methods; solve problems involving applications of geometry and trigonometry; solve financial problems connected with annuities, budgets, and renting or owning accommodation; simplify expressions; and solve equations. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.

Prerequisites:
Foundations for College Mathematics, Grade 11, College Preparation, or Functions and Applications, Grade 11, University/College Preparation



Course Title:
Calculus and Vectors

Course Code:
MCV4U1

Course Type:
Grade 12, University Preparation

Subject Area:
Mathematics

Program Differentiation:
Regular One Credit course

Description:
This course builds on students previous experience with functions and their developing understanding of rates of change. Students will solve problems involving geometric and algebraic representations of vectors and representations of lines and planes in three-dimensional space; broaden their understanding of rates of change to include the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational, and radical functions; and apply these concepts and skills to the modelling of real-world relationships. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended for students who choose to pursue careers in fields such as science, engineering, economics, and some areas of business, including those students who will be required to take a university-level calculus, linear algebra, or physics course.

Prerequisites:
Note: Advanced Functions, Grade 12, University Preparation, must be taken prior to or concurrently with Calculus and Vectors.



Course Title:
Mathematics of Data Management

Course Code:
MDM4U1

Course Type:
Grade 12, University Preparation

Subject Area:
Mathematics

Program Differentiation:
Regular One Credit course

Description:
This course broadens students understanding of mathematics as it relates to managing data. Students will apply methods for organizing and analysing large amounts of information; solve problems involving probability and statistics; and carry out a culminating investigation that integrates statistical concepts and skills. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. Students planning to enter university programs in business, the social sciences, and the humanities will find this course of particular interest.

Prerequisites:
Functions, Grade 11, University Preparation, or Functions and Applications, Grade 11, University/College Preparation



Course Title:
Mathematics for Work and Everyday Life

Course Code:
MEL4E1

Course Type:
Grade 12, Workplace Preparation

Subject Area:
Mathematics

Program Differentiation:
Regular One Credit course

Description:
This course enables students to broaden their understanding of mathematics as it is applied in the workplace and daily life. Students will investigate questions involving the use of statistics; apply the concept of probability to solve problems involving familiar situations; investigate accommodation costs, create household budgets, and prepare a personal income tax return; use proportional reasoning; estimate and measure; and apply geometric concepts to create designs. Students will consolidate their mathematical skills as they solve problems and communicate their thinking.

Prerequisites:

Course Title:
Advanced Functions

Course Code:
MHF4U1

Course Type:
Grade 12, University Preparation

Subject Area:
Mathematics

Program Differentiation:
Regular One Credit course

Description:
This course extends students experience with functions. Students will investigate the properties of polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; develop techniques for combining functions; broaden their understanding of rates of change; and develop facility in applying these concepts and skills. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended both for students taking the Calculus and Vectors course as a prerequisite for a university program and for those wishing to consolidate their understanding of mathematics before proceeding to any one of a variety of university programs.
