Mathematics 20 Pure
5 Credits
Prerequisite: 60% in Mathematics 10 Pure
This course continues the development of topics covered in Mathematics 10 Pure.  The instructional processes will focus primarily on an algebraic and graphical approach.  Curricular concepts will be developed in an interesting and logical manner with emphasis being placed on precise mathematical theory.

Mathematics 20 Applied
5 Credits
Prerequisite: 50% in Mathematics 10 Applied or
40% in Mathematics 10 Pure
This course continues with the development of topics covered in Mathematics 10 Applied.  At this level there is a greater focus on problem solving with algebra and with technology. The instructional processes will focus primarily on numerical and geometrical approaches, with classroom instruction based largely on hands-on experimentation and project work. Emphasis will be placed on the application of mathematical theory.  The concepts developed will be useful in everyday life.

Mathematics 24
5 Credits
Prerequisite: 50% in Mathematics 14 or 40% in Mathematics 10 Applied
This course is designed for students whose needs, interest and abilities focus on the application of mathematics in the operations of a household or a small business.  Upon completion of this course, students will have fulfilled the mathematics requirements for a General High School Diploma.  Topics covered in Mathematics 24 are income, banking, income tax, shape and space, and statistics and probability.

Mathematics 30 Pure
5 Credits
Prerequisite: 60% in Mathematics 20 Pure
The topics developed in Mathematics 30 are very theoretical in nature.  All of the units in this course require proficiency in a number of topics from both Mathematics 10 Pure and 20 Pure.  The topics covered in Mathematics 30 Pure are exponents and logarithms, geometric sequences and series, trigonometric functions, trigonometric equations, permutations and combinations, probability and statistics and conic sections.

Mathematics 30 Applied
5 Credits
Prerequisite: 50% in Mathematics 20 Applied or 40% in Mathematics 20 Pure
Mathematics 30 Applied is the culminating course for a dynamic and hands on approach for learning mathematics.  Topics covered in Mathematics 30 Applied include matrices, finance and spreadsheets, patterns, vectors, statistics, probability and design.  Upon completion of this course, students will write the Mathematics 30 Applied Diploma Examination as required by Alberta Education.  Students that complete Mathematics 30 Applied may take a bridging course at Centre High in order to be accepted into post-secondary programs that require Mathematics 30 Pure.
