Syllabi for all Mathematics
courses
* Math 30 and 31 may be taken concurrently in the same year.
- To register in the Honours Program, students require an 80% average
in grade 9 Mathematics.
- To register in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program
students require an 80% average in Math 10H or Math 10MYP. IB courses
have limited registration.
All courses are subject to adequate enrolment and specialized courses
such as IB/MYP have limited enrolmentThese Saturday morning tutorials are
specifically designed to assist students who want to raise their marks
or those students who need help passing a course. Click

The combined Mathematics 10 Foundations and Math 10 Pure are senior high
mathematics courses designed to meet the needs of Grade 10 students who
require further prerequisite skills essential to success in all Mathematics
Pure courses. This course is recommended for all Math 10 students who
scored between 70% - 80% in their Grade 9 mathematics, or for those who
struggled in the algebra (polynomials) or trigonometric units of Grade
9 mathematics. This course will address individual needs, with a focus
on those mathematical concepts that are required for success in all math
courses. There will be a limited enrolment in this class.
Students must register in Math 10P as well as Math 10F.
This course is intended for those students who have superior mathematical
ability. The curriculum adaptation will consist primarily of enriching
and expanding the Math 10 program. Real mathematical comprehension
is given a high degree of priority. An 80% average in grade 9 Math
is required.
This course is intended for those students who have completed year 4 of
the Middle Years Program (MYP) mathematics program and wish to obtain
their year 5 distinction.
This
course will meet all the requirements of the Mathematics 10H Pure courses;
however, students will achieve these requirements by focusing on the areas
of interaction, making links between curriculums and by viewing the curriculum
from an international perspective.
This course covers Mathematics of Finance, Quadratic Functions, Polynomials
and Rational Functions, Equations and Inequalities (analysis and systems
of), Reasoning and Geometry, Circle Geometry, and Coordinate Geometry.
Students will be exposed to the technology that is currently available
in Math. In order to be successful, we suggest that a student have
at least 65% in Math 10P.
Math 20 Honours covers all of the same topics as Math 20, but in greater
depth. There is a strong emphasis on multiple approaches to problem
solving. Students will be exposed to more inductive reasoning, to
more open-ended questions, and to topics that are spin-offs of the regular
curriculum. Students should have 80% in Math 10 P Honors in order
to take this course.
This course is for grade 10 students who have completed Math 10.
This program is designed to challenge the academically talented student.
The course is similar to the Math 20H except that project work will be
done for their IB portfolios. This is a full year course which provides
a differentiated program to accommodate the varying abilities and needs
of students. Course content is extended to a higher level of complexity.
More enrichment is offered; more emphasis is placed on analysis
and synthesis as a learning process. Students taking Math 10 in grade
9 should have an 80% average in order to take this course.
This program was designed to challenge the academically talented math
students. The course is similar to the Math 20H and Math 30H programs
except that project work will be done for the IB portfolios. These are
semestered courses, requiring 2 blocks of time, which provide a differentiated
program to accommodate the varying abilities and needs of students.
Course content is extended to a higher level of complexity. More
enrichment is offered and more emphasis is placed on analysis and synthesis
as a learning process. This course is the prerequisite for
Math 31IB. Students should have an average of 80% in Math 10P Honours
or in Math 10MYP in order to take this course and is only for students
continuing in the IB Diploma Program.
This course covers functions, logarithms, trigonometry (functions of angle,
real numbers, identities, trigonometry equations), permutations and combinations,
probability, statistics and conic sections. Students will be exposed to
the technology that is currently available in Math. In order to be successful,
we suggest that a student have at least 65% in Math 20P.
The curriculum adaptation will consist primarily of enriching and expanding
the existing Math 30 program. Three different levels of abstraction will
be emphasized - application, inductive reasoning, and deductive reasoning.
Students should have an 80% average in Math 20P in order to take this
course.
This program is designed to challenge the academically talented student.
The course is similar to the Math 30H except that project work will be

More enrichment is offered and more emphasis is placed on analysis and
synthesis as a learning process. Students should have an average of 80%
in Math 20P Honours in order to take this course. This is a prerequisite
for Math 31IB.
This course in intended for students who have an intense interest in mathematics.
It is a course highly recommended for those students wishing to enrol
in a post-secondary program that emphasizes mathematics. The course deals
with such concepts as limits, derivatives, derivatives of trigonometric
functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, integrals and
area.
This course is in essence Math 31 with additional topics in calculus,
transformational geometry and matrices, vectors and statistics. The IB
Math mark is based on a comprehensive final examination prepared and marked
by the IB organization and a portfolio of each student’s project
work In addition, a Math 31 mark is awarded to the student for the Alberta
Department of Education portion of the course.
Mathematics 35 has two purposes: to provide further topics not covered
in the Alberta curriculum, and to give students a chance to do concentrated
work on problem solving. In connection with the latter, students will
study some elementary number theory, linear algebra, and will be expected
to develop the ability to write clear and concise mathematical proofs.
This course will only be offered if there is sufficient registration.
