Pre-Calculus 11
Grad Req’t: Mathematics 11/12
Prerequisite: Recommended minimum ofProficient in all learning standards, in Foundation of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 by the end of the year.
If this recommended achievement is not met, students will be advised to enroll in Foundations of Mathematics 11 and approval to enroll in Pre-Calculus 11 must be received by their current math teacher and the Mathematics Department Head. Enrolling in the Pre-Calculus stream provides students with a pathway to post-secondary studies in engineering, science, business, and kinesiology, whereas the combination of Foundations 11 and 12 can lead to post-secondary programs such as arts, fine and performing arts, and nursing. To determine post-secondary program requirements in math, all students are encouraged to seek the advice of their WPGA university counsellor and Department Head of Mathematics. The areas covered are functions and equations including absolute value, rational, radical, quadratic, and polynomial. Students will also work on trigonometric ratios, systems of equations and inequalities and an introduction to sequences and series. Pre-Calculus 11 is a very intensive course requiring diligent practice outside of class time and a significant time commitment and prior mastery of Math 10 content. Students are able to use Desmos test mode or any Scientific Calculator (TI-30XIIS).
