Accelerated Math 8/9
Accelerated Mathematics 8/9 program provides exceptional math students with the opportunity to accelerate their learning and to complete both the Mathematics 8 and Mathematics 9 curricula in one school year. While Mathematics 8 concepts will be reviewed, the focus of the course will be Mathematics 9 learning outcomes. Therefore, students must have a strong foundation in math, be highly motivated and have exceptional work habits. Students in the accelerated program will be able to complete five years of math by the end of grade 11 and then presumably take Calculus in grade 12. As of September 2000, Calculus 12 has become a Ministry recognized course and many universities such as U.B.C. strongly recommend that students entering the Faculty of Science have taken Calculus 12.
