MA: Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10

The prerequisite for this course is Math 9. This course focuses on problem-solving, reflection, and communication skills that can be used to develop different approaches when it comes to the subject. At the core, Math 10 is rooted in number operations, algebra, arithmetic sequences, linear functions, trigonometry, data and analysis, and financial literacy. 

​

Content

  • Operations on powers with integral exponents

  • Prime factorization

  • Functions and relations - connecting data, graphs, and situations

  • Linear functions - slope and equations of lines

  • Arithmetic sequences

  • Systems of linear equations

  • Multiplication of polynomial expressions

  • Polynomial factoring

  • Primary trigonometric ratios

  • Financial literacy - gross and net pay

​

Students who pass this course may proceed to Math 11 Foundations or Pre-Calc 11 based on what's right for them. All of this information is based on the BC Ministry of Education requirements listed on their website.
