Advanced Topics in Mathematics 11G (MATY1G)

This course is offered to S1 students as an option in addition to the S1 Foundations
Mathematics course. In today’s changing world students must be mathematically literate. They
should have a variety of experiences that encourage them to develop mathematical habits.
Students must be involved in active learning that relates mathematics to personal experiences.
Real world situations, practical applications and human activities will serve as mathematical
opportunities for students in the S1 Enriched Mathematics course.

Students will be given opportunities to: investigate and explore math ideas, research
mathematical topics, work independently and collaboratively on assignments and projects,
problem solve and participate in mathematical contests, apply mathematics to real life situations
and reflect on their mathematical learning.

This course will integrate mathematical knowledge, skills and process with conceptual
development and strategize problem solving in a cross-curricular setting. As students explore,
guess, check, apply, discuss and interpret mathematics, they will continue to develop confidence
in their mathematical abilities.
