Foundations of Math 12

 

Course Outline:  Foundations of Mathematics 12 

It is recommended that students complete Foundations of Math 11 or equivalent, prior to enrolling in this course.

Foundations of Math 12 is part of the pathway designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require the study of theoretical calculus. The course is self paced and lessons are delivered via animated video series. Student learning is demonstrated through Unit Send-In Assignments, Unit Tests, a Midterm Exam and Final Exam, graded by the course teacher. Test and Exam writing are supervised by an online support teacher. Face to face support is available during an online support block or at a connect session. Students have one year to complete the course.

Keys to Success: 

  1. Set a schedule so that you are working on math either everyday or every second day. There should be no big gaps, with the hope of catching up. This is VERY important!
  2. Actively work through each lesson, trying examples and reflecting on material.
  3. Use the Send-In Assignment as your tool for documenting your understanding. Lay it out neatly and well organized.
  4. Make sure you understand any test question you get wrong. If you can’t figure it out – ASK for help!
  5. Be sure to use your Moodle message system for regular communication with your instructor.
