Math is more than memorizing formulas and doing calculations. Math involves:

  • Highly practical and hands-on problems and skills
  • Rich problem-solving activities in collaboration with your peers
  • Some problems that will stretch your understanding to the abstract and theoretical
  • Using technology to develop, demonstrate and communicate your mathematical understandings

Math Advanced Placement (AP Cohort)

To give them the best opportunity for success on the Advanced Placement Calculus AB Exam, students have the opportunity to enrich their mathematics’ education through Math 10‐C AP Cohort, and Math 20‐1 AP Cohort. The AP Cohort Calculus 30‐1/31 course provides students with an excellent platform for success in their Math 30‐1 course, diploma exam, the calculus course, and their AP exam. The course is arranged over the full year to allow students time to explore concepts thematically rather than a linear approach of studying math 30‐1 concepts, then Calculus. Concepts are taught graphically, numerically, algebraically and verbally. With successful scores on the AP exam, students may be granted transfer credits to various post‐secondary institutions.

"Math is the key to every door for me in university. The AP program offered me a great challenge of university material while I was still in high school." - Sumeet G.

Math 10-3 Plus

This accelerated Math 10-3 course is intended for students demonstrating good (3+) achievement in some outcomes, while demonstrating basic (2) achievement in other grade 9 outcomes in mathematics. Math 10-3 Plus will provide the opportunity to better prepare students for the increased pace and rigor of high school mathematics. Upon completion of Math 10-3 outcomes, students will be provided introductory materials and instruction to prepare for the possibility of Math 10C in future semesters.

When Math 10-3 Plus is successfully completed, students can then take Math 20-3, which satisfies Alberta High School Diploma Requirements. Alternatively, with teacher recommendations and conversations with guidance counsellors, students may attempt Math 10C in future semesters.

Please note: This course will appear as “Mathematics 10” on your timetable however Math 10-3 credit will be awarded upon completion of this course.
