**Remember that a Language is an elective
Humanities 10
Course Content: In Humanities 10 students will earn credit for both Social
Studies 10 and English 10 by delving into issues that thematically connect
literature, history and current events. Although Humanities 10 is available
to all grade 10 students, this course is designed to appeal to students who
are passionate about the humanities and interested in pursuing
collaborative critical inquiry. Successful Humanities 10 students should
be motivated, self-regulated and responsible when it comes to their
learning. It is expected that students who choose to take Humanities 10
will be committed and dedicated to participating and doing their best work
in all aspects of the class.
Humanities 10 will be double-blocked and taught in a team approach with
a clear focus on developing critical thinking and analytical writing. The
concepts of marginalization and identity serve as the anchors of this
course.

THE MATH QUESTION
Changes to the Math Curriculum
• Three Pathways
• Apprenticeship and Workplace Mathematics – designed to provide
students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills
identified for entry into the majority of trades and for direct entry into the
work force. NO UNIVERSITY WILL TAKE THIS MATH FOR ENTRANCE!!
• Foundations of Mathematics – designed to provide students with the
mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for postsecondary studies in programs that do not require the study of theoretical
calculus.
• Pre-calculus - designed to provide students with the mathematical
understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into postsecondary programs that require the study of theoretical calculus. NEEDED
FOR ALL UNIVERSITY SCIENCE PROGRAMS
MATHEMATICS
The new math curriculum includes 3 available pathways for students. The three pathways available
are: Apprenticeship and Workplace Mathematics, Foundations of Mathematics, and Pre-Calculus. At
the grade 10 level, a common Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus course is the starting
point for both the Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus pathways. When choosing a
pathway, students should consider their interests, both current and future. Students and parents are
encouraged to research the admission requirements for post-secondary programs of study as they
vary by institution and by year.
