Planning+for+Math+20

Whether students plan on pursuing further studies or entering the workforce directly, the revised mathematics program is designed to help them develop the appropriate skills.
==**It is important to keep in mind is that the -1 & -2 streams DO NOT follow the same pattern and mind frame as courses such as ELA and Social Studies.** ==

=//**Students should take -1 if:**//= Mathematics-1 if I want to **study mathematics or sciences** at a **university, college, or technical institute** and go on to a related career. Mathematics-1 is for students who plan to enter post-secondary programs such as **engineering, mathematics, sciences, some business studies, or other programs that require advanced math skills**. The sequence is a **co-requisite for Mathematics 31** and may be required for post-secondary calculus courses. Mathematics-1 includes topics such as **permutations and combinations, relations and functions, sequences and series,** and **trigonometry**.

=//Students should take -2 if://= Mathematics-2 if I want to attend a **university, college, or technical institute** after high school, **but do not need calculus skills**. ==Mathematics-2 is for students wishing to **study at the post-secondary level in diverse fields, including arts programs, civil engineering technology, medical technologies,** and **some apprenticeship programs**. **The -2 path will fulfill most students' needs**. == Mathematics-2 is designed with a **great deal of flexibility**, so that the student can switch sequences in Grade 11 or Grade 12 if his or her interests change. Mathematics-2 includes topics such as **relations, functions and equations, probability, statistics,** and **trigonometry**.

//__ It is important to note that the Alberta -2 is DIFFERENT than the WNCP Foundations of Math**.** __//
=//Students should take -3 if://= Mathematics-3 if I am interested in **learning the mathematics needed to enter most trades** or if **I want to enter the workforce** after high school. Mathematics-3 is for students who **want to apprentice to a trade or enter the workforce directly** after high school. It is **designed to meet the entrance requirements for apprentices in most trades programs, specifically levels one to three **. Mathematics-3 includes topics such as **finance, geometry, measurement,** and **trigonometry**.
