Functions, Grade 11

This course introduces the mathematical concept of the function by extending students’ experiences with linear and quadratic relations. Students will investigate properties of discrete and continuous functions, including trigonometric and exponential functions; represent functions numerically, algebraically, and graphically; solve problems involving applications of functions; investigate inverse functions; and develop facility in determining equivalent algebraic expressions. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems. 

Prerequisite: Principles of Mathematics, Grade 10, Academic

Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course, Grade 12

This course is designed to help students acquire and demonstrate the cross-curricular literacy skills that are evaluated by the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT). Students who complete the course successfully will meet the provincial literacy requirement for graduation. Students will read a variety of informational, narrative, and graphic texts and will produce a variety of forms of writing, including summaries, information paragraphs, opinion pieces, and news reports. Students will also maintain and manage a portfolio containing a record of their reading experiences and samples of their writing.

GLS1O

MTH1W, Grade 9 Mathematics, Academic

This course enables students to consolidate, and continue to develop, an understanding of mathematical concepts related to number sense andoperations, algebra, measurement, geometry, data, probability, and financial literacy. Students will use mathematical processes, mathematicalmodelling, and coding to make sense of the mathematics they are learning and to apply their understanding to culturally responsive and relevantreal-world situations. Students will continue to enhance their mathematical reasoning skills, including proportional reasoning, spatial reasoning,and algebraic reasoning, as they solve problems and communicate their thinking. 


Issues in Canadian Geography

This course examines interrelationships within and between Canada’s natural and human systems and how these systems interconnect with those in other parts of the world. Students will explore environmental, economic, and social geographic issues relating to topics such as transportation options, energy choices, and urban development. Students will apply the concepts of geographic thinking and the geographic inquiry process, including spatial technologies, to investigate various geographic issues and to develop possible approaches for making Canada a more sustainable place in which to live. 

Prerequisite: None
