Description: The goal of this course is to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies.
Note: This course has tests and quizzes that will need to be written in a Delta Access Testing Center. You can follow the link below for more information.
Content Learning Standards:
- Number: multiplication of polynomial expressions; polynomial factoring; financial literacy: gross and net pay
- Computational Fluency: operations on powers with integral exponents; linear relations, including slope and equations of lines
- Patterning: solving systems of linear equations
- Geometry and Measurement: primary trigonometric ratios
- Data and Probability: relationships among data, graphs, and situations; experimental probability
- Focus on problem solving
- Financial literacy: regardless of the course selections made by students, there is a common experience in Mathematics that includes financial literacy
- First Peoples perspectives are reflected throughout the learning standards
Curricular Competency Development Leaning Standards:
- Reasoning and modelling

- Connecting and reflecting
After successful completion of the Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 course students can choose to take one of the following courses:
- Foundations of Mathematics 11- if the student is planning to take a post-secondary program that does not require the study of theoretical Calculus
- Pre-calculus 11- the student is planning to take a post-secondary program that requires the study of theoretical Calculus.
Please note the Provincial Graduation Numeracy Assessment should be written in grade 10 and is requirement for graduation.
