Ontario Mathematics Courses
Apply NowMEVA offers Ontario secondary school mathematics courses with a focus on clear explanations, step-by-step practice, and preparation for post-secondary pathways. Course descriptions below are aligned with Ontario curriculum expectations for each code.
MTH1W - Mathematics, Grade 9 (De-streamed)
Students consolidate and extend understanding of number sense, algebra, measurement, geometry, data, probability, and financial literacy. They use mathematical modelling, coding, and problem-solving to connect math to real-life situations.
- Typical topics: algebra and linear relations, proportional reasoning, geometry, data and probability, financial literacy.
- Prerequisite: Grade 8 Mathematics.
- Pathway: Prepares students for Grade 10 Mathematics and both university- and college-bound streams.
MPM2D - Principles of Mathematics, Grade 10 (Academic)
Grade 10 Mathematics strengthens algebra skills and deepens understanding of relationships through quadratics, analytic geometry, and trigonometry. Students learn to connect equations, graphs, and real-world problems.
- Typical topics: quadratic functions and equations, systems of equations, analytic geometry, trigonometry of right and acute triangles.
- Prerequisite: MTH1W Grade 9 Mathematics (de-streamed).
- Pathway: Leads toward Grade 11 university-preparation courses.
MCR3U - Functions, Grade 11 (University)
This course introduces the concept of a function in depth. Students investigate quadratic, exponential, and trigonometric functions, represent them in multiple ways, and solve problems using these models.
- Typical topics: function notation, transformations, quadratic, exponential, and trigonometric functions, inverse relations.
- Prerequisite: Grade 10 Academic Mathematics (MPM2D) or equivalent.
- Pathway: Essential for MHF4U and MCV4U.
MCF3M - Functions & Applications, Grade 11 (Mixed)
MCF3M introduces key features of functions through quadratic, trigonometric, and exponential models, with a strong emphasis on real-world situations and applications.
- Typical topics: quadratic, exponential, and trigonometric functions, modelling real data.
- Prerequisite: MPM2D or MFM2P.
- Pathway: Supports entry into MHF4U (with strong performance) or MDM4U.
MHF4U - Advanced Functions, Grade 12 (University)
Advanced Functions extends experience with functions and rates of change. Students study polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions and learn techniques for analyzing and combining them.
- Typical topics: polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric identities and graphs.
- Prerequisite: MCR3U Functions.
- Pathway: Required or strongly recommended for MCV4U and many university programs.
MCV4U - Calculus & Vectors, Grade 12 (University)
Calculus & Vectors builds on functions and introduces limits, derivatives, and vector geometry. Students model motion and change and solve problems in two and three dimensions.
- Typical topics: limits, derivatives, optimization, vectors, lines and planes.
- Prerequisite: MHF4U Advanced Functions (may be taken concurrently in some schools).
- Pathway: Core preparation for first-year university calculus.
MDM4U - Mathematics of Data Management, Grade 12 (University)
Data Management broadens understanding of mathematics as it relates to managing data. Students explore counting methods, probability, and statistics, and complete a major data investigation.
- Typical topics: combinatorics, probability, distributions, data analysis.
- Prerequisite: MCR3U or MCF3M.
- Pathway: Valuable for business, health sciences, social sciences, and any field using data.
