Today’s mathematics curriculum prepares students for their future roles in society, and for a large range of post-secondary destinations. Students are encouraged to pursue the mathematics courses that best suit their mathematical abilities and appropriate post-secondary aspirations.
The development of mathematical knowledge is a gradual process. A coherent and continuous program is necessary to help students see the “big pictures”, or underlying principles, of mathematics. The mathematics courses in this curriculum recognize the importance of not only focusing on content, but also of developing the thinking processes that underlie mathematics. By studying mathematics, students learn how to reason logically, think critically, and solve problems – key skills for success in today’s workplaces.
