Frequently Asked Questions
The revised Grades 10–12 Mathematics Program of Studies includes a combined Grade 10 course, Mathematics 10 Combined (C), that is the starting point for the -1 and -2 course sequences. This will allow Mathematics 10C students to postpone choosing a mathematics course sequence until Grade 11. Mathematics 10C also offers students: · a smoother transition from junior high to high school · a reduction in the number of topics from the current program · the opportunity to access more resources before making decisions about course sequences · greater transferability between sequences if their career or post-secondary goals change.
 * 1. ****Why Math 10C? **

Other Grade 10 mathematics courses available are the new Mathematics 10-3 for students planning to enter a trade or the workforce and the current Mathematics 10-4 for Knowledge and Employability courses.  //A Smoother Transition // One of the guiding principles in revising the mathematics programs was to facilitate a smooth transition from Grade 9 to Grade 10 mathematics. In Mathematics 10C, students will benefit from the way in which Grade 10 outcomes progress from the Grade 9 mathematics outcomes. Students will also have a year of high school experience before deciding which course sequence they will follow.  //Informed Decisions //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> The course sequence students choose impacts their options for future post-secondary programs. By delaying the decision to high school, students can make a more informed decision based on their future career paths, their mathematics skills and their post-secondary education prerequisite needs. With the revised program, Grade 10 students can now consult with their high school teachers, and possibly counsellors, concerning which course sequence best suits their skills and their future goals. Universities, colleges and technical institutes have indicated that the new -2 sequence will be more widely accepted for enrollment than the current applied mathematics sequence. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Greater Transferability //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Because Mathematics 10C covers topics studied in both the -1 and -2 course sequences, students gain the background knowledge in Grade 10 to transfer between course sequences in both Grade 11 and Grade 12. This means that students can make adjustments to their mathematics courses should their goals or interests change over the course of their high school studies. This flexibility gives students more options in high school while they determine their future education and career plans.

** 13. How will the Diploma Exams change? **

Alberta Education is currently consulting with teachers, post-secondary institutions and other stakeholders to determine the format of the diploma exams. No decision has been made on whether a diploma exam will be developed for Mathematics 30-3. Diploma exam consultations include the production of an information bulletin for both Mathematics 30-1 and 30-2 with notes for teachers, information about standards, sample questions and the diploma examination blueprint. These documents will be distributed in the spring of 2012. The Diploma Examinations Program Technology Directive, which lists the technologies that may be used in diploma examinations, will be posted in the spring of 2010 in the Diploma General Information Bulletin. Students entering the new Grade 10 courses in the fall can use this information to plan accordingly. Mathematics requirements for graduation have not changed. Five credits at the 20 level are required to obtain an Alberta High School Diploma. Students may complete this requirement with 20-1, 20-2 or 20-3. 14.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"> The revised high school mathematics courses align with the revised Kindergarten to Grade 9 mathematics program. All students entering Grade 10 in September 2010 will enroll in the revised mathematics program sequences. Mathematics requirements for graduation have not changed. Five credits at the 20 level are required to obtain an Alberta High School Diploma. Students may complete this requirement with 20-1, 20-2 or 20-3. Authorized student and teaching resources will be available in English and French in the spring of each year of implementation; e.g., Grade 10 resources will be available in the spring of 2010. Standards documents for teachers—documents that outline the acceptable standards and standards of excellence for each course—will be provided for all Grade 10 and Grade 11 courses prior to implementation.
