Foundations of Mathematics 11

This course is intended for students who do not meet the prerequisites of Pre-Calculus 11 and need a more practical stream of mathematics that will still lead to post-secondary studies in non-technical or non-science-related areas. Further counselling is required to determine the post-secondary math requirements in your preferred program with our university counsellors and your current math teacher. Students enrolling in Foundations 11 will meet graduation requirements but will need to enroll in Foundations 12 to fulfill minimum post-secondary entrance requirements. The Foundations stream is designed to provide students with the mathematical knowledge and critical-thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require the study of theoretical calculus. Topics include reasoning, linear programming, quadratic functions and equations, statistics, geometry and proportional reasoning. Problem solving is a major focus of the course and is integrated throughout the curriculum. A final exam or final project may be incorporated into the overall course mark.
