Core 2012 - Secondary Mathematics III

Students in Secondary Mathematics III will focus on pulling together and applying the accumulation of learning that they have from their previous courses.  They will apply methods from probability and statistics, expand their repertoire of functions to include polynomial, rational, and radical functions, they will expand their study of right triangle trigonometry and will bring together all of their experience with functions and geometry to create models and solve contextual problems. 

 

All Secondary III Core Curriculum should be included in the Secondary III Honors Curriculum.
