Math

Information

Graduation from secondary school requires the successful completion of at least 3 courses in mathematics (with at least one of these at the Grade 11 or 12 level).

Further mathematics courses may be required by universities and colleges for admission. It is important that you discuss your choices with your secondary school’s Guidance Counsellor.

• helping with the development of time-management skills.
• turning off the television and other e-entertainment.
• creating a quiet time for homework.
• providing a desk or table that is just for homework.
• encouraging the use of an agenda or homework book.
