This course builds on students’ previous experience with functions and their developing
understanding of rates of change. Students will solve problems involving geometric and
algebraic representations of vectors and representations of lines and planes in threedimensional space; broaden their understanding of rates of change to include the
derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational, and radical functions; and
apply these concepts and skills to the modelling of real-world relationships. Students
will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior
mathematics. This course is intended for students who choose to pursue careers in fields
such as science, engineering, economics, and some areas of business, including those
students who will be required to take a university-level calculus, linear algebra, or
physics course.
Prerequisite: Functions, Grade 11, University Preparation, or Functions and Applications, Grade 11, University/College Preparation
Grade 12 Data Management (MDM4U) broadens students’ understanding of mathematics as it relates to managing data. Students will apply methods of organizing and analyzing large amounts of information; solve problems involving probability and statistics, and carry out a culminating investigation that integrates statistical concepts and skills. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. Students planning to enter university programs in business, the social sciences and the humanities will find this course of particular interest.
Prerequisite: Functions, Grade 11, University Preparation, or
Functions and Applications, Grade 11, University/College Preparation

This course enables students to develop an understanding of mathematical concepts related to
algebra, analytic geometry, and measurement and geometry through investigation, the effective
use of technology, and abstract reasoning. Students will investigate relationships, which they
will then generalize as equations of lines, and will determine the connections between different
representations of a linear relation. They will also explore relationships that emerge from the
measurement of three-dimensional figures and two-dimensional shapes. Students will reason
mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.
Prerequisite: None
This course enables students to broaden their understanding of relationships and extend
their problem-solving and algebraic skills through investigation, the effective use of technology,
and abstract reasoning. Students will explore quadratic relations and their applications; solve and
apply linear systems; verify properties of geometric figures using analytic geometry; and
investigate the trigonometry of right and acute triangles. Students will reason mathematically and
communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.
Prerequisite: Grade 9 Mathematics, Academic or Mathematics Transfer
