MHF4U – GRADE 12 ADVANCED FUNCTIONS – UNIVERSITY

This course extends students’ experience with functions. Students will investigate the properties of polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and trigonometric 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 who plan to study mathematics in university and for those wishing to consolidate their understanding of mathematics before proceeding to any one of a variety of university programs. In order for students to meet the standards of this course with success and confidence, a minimum of Level 3 (70%) in MCR3U or MCT4C is strongly recommended.

Prerequisite: MCR3U or MCT4C

MCV4U – GRADE 12 CALCULUS AND VECTORS – UNIVERSITY

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, rational, exponential, and sinusoidal functions; and apply these concepts and skills to the modeling 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 plan to study mathematics in university and who may choose to pursue careers in fields such as physics and engineering. In order for students to meet the standards of this course with success and confidence, a minimum of Level 3 (70%) in MHF4U is strongly recommended.

Note: The Advanced Functions must be taken concurrently with or prior to Calculus and Vectors.

MDM4U – GRADE 12 MATHEMATICS OF DATA MANAGEMENT – UNIVERSITY

This course broadens students’ understanding of mathematics as it relates to managing data. Students will apply methods for organizing large amounts of information; solve problems involving probability and statistics; and carry out a culminating project 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. In order for students to meet the standards of this course with success and confidence, a minimum of Level 3 (70%) in MCR3U or MCF3M is strongly recommended.

Prerequisite: MCR3U or MCF3M

MAP4C – GRADE 12 FOUNDATIONS FOR COLLEGE MATHEMATICS – COLLEGE

This course enables students to broaden their understanding of real-world applications of mathematics. Students will analyze data using statistical methods; solve problems involving applications of geometry and trigonometry; simplify expressions; and solve equations. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems. This course prepares students for college programs in areas such as business, health sciences, and human services, and for certain skilled trades. In order for students to meet the standards of this course with success and confidence, a minimum of Level 3 (70%) in MBF3C is strongly recommended.

Prerequisite: MBF3C

MEL4E – GRADE 12 MATHEMATICS FOR WORK AND EVERYDAY LIFE – WORKPLACE

This course enables students to broaden their understanding of mathematics as it is applied in the workplace and daily life. Students will solve problems associated with earning money, paying taxes, and making purchases; apply calculations of simple and compound interest in saving, investing, and borrowing; and calculate the costs of transportation and travel in a variety of situations. Students will consolidate their mathematical skills as they solve problems and communicate their thinking.

Prerequisite: Principles of Mathematics, Grade 9, Academic, or Foundations of Mathematics, Grade 9, Applied, or a ministry-approved locally developed Grade 10 mathematics course or MTH1W1
