Mathematics Program Overview

MATH SKILLS (10F)
This is a prepatory course for students wanting to enter the Applied or Pre-Calculus streams.  

APPLIED MATHEMATICS 30S/40S
This pathway is designed to provide students with mathematical understanding and critical-thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require the study of theoretical calculus. Topics include financial mathematics, geometry, logical reasoning, measurement, number, relations and functions, and statistics and probability. 

ESSENTIAL MATHEMATICS 30S/40S
This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical-thinking skills identified for post-secondary studies in programs that do not require further study in advanced mathematics. Topics include algebra, geometry, measurement, number, statistics and probability, and financial mathematics. 

PRE-CALCULUS MATHEMATICS 20S/30S/40S
This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs that require the study of theoretical calculus. Topics include algebra and number, measurement, permutations, combinations and binomial theorem, relations and functions, and trigonometry    

NOTE: Students that are new to WAEC enter at the appropriate level based on their previous courses completed or an assessment by the Math Department. In each level of mathematics skills and ideas are developed based on learning from prior levels. Progression in Math depends on successful learning at each level.
