Incentive Mathematics
Incentive mathematics from grade 8-9 is intended for students that have been accepted into the Incentive Program.
Incentive mathematics is a challenging course that, in one school year, covers the student's entire curriculum of math and an approximate 2/3rds of the subsequent years'.
Because their learning is accelerated, students can earn credit for the course and potentially skip a grade of learning. For example, an Incentive 9 grade student studying grade 10 Mathematics may study Mathematics 11 Pre-Calculus in their grade 10 year.
Across all Incentive courses, students are expected to maintain a 73% (B) average. Otherwise, their position in the Incentive Program will be reviewed.
Courses Offered
Incentive Mathematics 8
Prerequisite: Grade 7 & Admission into Incentive Program
Incentive Mathematics 8 challenges students that excel in math with a greater pace, depth, and overall enrichment of the standard grade 8 course.
Students should expect to handle part of the grade 9 curriculum on top of the standard grade 8 curriculum.
Moreover, students should expect to participate in various extension activities, such as writing contests (like the Pascal) and/or projects.
Incentive Mathematics 9/10
Prerequisite: Incentive Mathematics 8 and/or admission into Incentive Program
Incentive Mathematics 9/10 challenges students that excel in math with a greater pace, depth, and overall enrichment of the standard grade 9 course.
Incentive Mathematics 9/10 continues the latter half of grade 9 Mathematics started last year and also fully completes Foundations and Pre-Calculus 10.
Students will be regularly challenged in the form of various extension activities, such as writing contests (like the Pascal) and/or projects.
