THE MATH QUESTION
Math Curriculum Pathways
• Three Pathways
• Apprenticeship and Workplace Mathematics – designed to provide
students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills
identified for entry into the majority of trades and for direct entry into the
work force.
• Foundations of Mathematics – designed to provide students with the
mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for postsecondary studies in programs that do not require the study of theoretical
calculus.
• Pre-calculus - designed to provide students with the mathematical
understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into postsecondary programs that require the study of theoretical calculus. NEEDED
FOR ALL UNIVERSITY SCIENCE PROGRAMS
MATHEMATICS
The new math curriculum includes 3 available pathways for students. The three pathways available
are: Apprenticeship and Workplace Mathematics, Foundations of Mathematics, and Pre-Calculus. At
the grade 10 level, a common Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus course is the starting
point for both the Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus pathways. When choosing a
pathway, students should consider their interests, both current and future. Students and parents are
encouraged to research the admission requirements for post-secondary programs of study as they
vary by institution and by year.
