Curriculum

Mathematics 8

Mathematics 8 is the aftermath (pun intended) of what one would experience in the school subject of Math 7.

This of course paves the path for many different individuals to learn about new and interesting concepts that require a good understanding of math knowledge, and problem solving skills among other things.

Algebra, measurements, geometric constructions, probability and statistics and financial literacy are just some of the units that will be covered in this mandatory course.


It's a very essential course that many might find intimidating coming from elementary school, so if you would like to learn more, you can by clicking on the icon at the bottom-right.

Mathematics 9

Mathematics 9 builds off of the prerequisite of Mathematics 8.

Therefore, many of the mathematic concepts are quite similar to one another.

Said concepts include: algebra, measurements, probability and statistics and financial literacy are nearly the same as mentioned in the previous mini-article.


There is not much to say about this specific course, as is with the rest of Grade 9 itself (which is a joke but it can be taken in whatever way).

As was stated in the previous section, you can click on the icon at the bottom-right to learn more about this subject.

Upon entering Mathematics 8, some students may have some trouble adjusting to the new subjects of math being taught.

Workplace Mathematics 9 is the solution to helping these students, focusing on reinforcing certain skills so that those students can be sent into grade 10 workplace mathematics.

If teachers see it fit however, they can move students into Grade 9 Mathematics.

Only certain sections of the Math 9 curriculum will be touched upon, most of it relying on how students want to study the material.

Workplace Mathematics 10

Workplace Mathematics 10 is the continuation of the subject Mathematics 9.

Mathematics 10 is a very interesting subject, because it teaches students about math that can help students enter the work force directly.

Some of the points covered in this subject concern math topics such as computational fluency, geometry and trigonometry, measurement, data and graph analysis and financial literacy.

Workplace Mathematics 11 is accessible from completing this course.

If you'd like to learn more, then you can click on the icon on the bottom-right.

Mathematics 10 foundations of mathematics and pre-calculus

This course requires a prerequisite of Mathematics 9.

The course is an interesting topic, as it merges a regular curriculum with communication and problem solving skills becoming the forefront.

Number operations, algebra, arithmetic sequences, linear functions, trigonometry, data analysis and financial literacy.

Like those before it, click the icon on the bottom-right if you wish to find out more.

Workplace Mathematics 11

Like the prerequisite Workplace Mathematics 10, Workplace Mathematics 11 focuses on helping individuals enter the workforce early.

This means that the topics covered in this course are generally quite different from the regular Math 11 course, including things like computational fluency, 3-D objects, rates of change, graph analysis, probability, statistics, and financial literacy.

Different Math courses will be mostly summarized in this course as well.

Mathematics 11 Foundations

Mathematics 11 Foundations is an interesting course, as instead of focusing on the regular math curriculum or entering the workforce, it informs students of the requirements in math that might be the case for those going into the art education field.

The topics covered include mathematical reasoning, angle relationships, graph analysis, applications of statistics, scale models, and financial literacy.

Like those before it, Mathematics 11 Foundations gives students a general summary of 

Mathematics 11 Pre-calculus

Mathematics 11 pre-calculus is for students entering post-secondary education in the sciences.

Those who are interested in this course are recommended to research the admission requirements, as they change annually.

Algebra, functions, financial literacy, and  trigonometry are all topics that are covered in this course.

More information can be found by pressing the icon on the right.

Mathematics 11 enriched (pre-calculus)

This course is one specifically engineered for those who are wanting more from the subject of math, and have excelled during their time at Palmer.

All of the topics in pre-calculus are covered here.

They are however, done in a more efficient and enriching pace.

Math competitions are a regularity for those who take part in this course, and are more of an expectation.

Because of all of these conditions, an A is recommended for those in both Math Foundations 10 or Incentive Mathematics 9/10, but not a requirement.

Mathematics 12 foundations

Mathematics 12 Foundations is a course designed to accommodate the needs of those going into the arts for post-secondary education.

The topics covered in this course consist of geometry, functions, regression analysis, probability, combinatorics, and financial planning.

Those aiming to take a post-secondary course are recommended to research admission requirements, as they change very often.

Workplace Mathematics 12

Workplace Mathematics 12 is a course that (like it's predecessors) is designed to be a course where those who enter it get better of an introduction into the work force.

Measurement, geometry, algebra, workplace mathematics, and financial literacy are the topics covered in this course, being quite similar in concept to the other Workplace Math courses.

Previous math course concepts will also be explored.

Mathematics 12 pre-calculus

Mathematics 12 pre-calculus is a course for those interested in the sciences.

It tailors a curriculum made for those going into post-secondary sciences, and as such, are comprised of transformations, analyses of various functions, geometric sequences/series, and trigonometry

Like that before it, it's wise to research admission requirements, as they can change annually.

Check the bottom-right if you wish to learn more about this course in detail.

Advanced placement calculus 12

Advanced placement calculus 12 is essentially a first-year university course designed to help advanced students get a head start on their schoolwork.

Calculus is a required course for first-year university students, and taking this specific course in high school has shown good results for said first year students.

Limits, differentiation, derivatives of trigonometric/logarithmic functions,  curve-sketching,  anti-derivatives, integration, problems  involving  maximum/minimum, rate, and growth/decay are all a part of the curriculum.

A graphics calculator is highly recommended.
