Math & Computer science
Grade 9 & 10 Math Program
The Grade 9 & 10 Math curriculum, as outlined in the Ministry of Education Math Grade 9 & 10 document, builds on the skills and principles students have learned in elementary programs. Students learn math most effectively when they have a thorough understanding of concepts and processes, and when they can build on that understanding using an investigative approach. The Grade 9 & 10 math curriculum enables students to apply their knowledge and skills to further their mathematics learning.
The seven (7) mathematical processes used in secondary math education are:
problem solving,
reasoning and proving,
reflecting,
selecting tools and computational strategies,
connecting,
representing, and
communicating.
These processes apply to student learning in all areas of the math courses.
Grade 11 & 12 Math Program
In Grades 11 & 12 students will further build on the math facts & processes they have learned in Grades 9 & 10 to better understand how these concepts can be applied in the workplace.
To meet the demands of the business world in which we live, students will need to adapt the changing conditions and to learn independently. They will require the ability to use technology effectively and must hone their skills in processing large amounts of quantitative information.
