Grade 12 Pre-Calculus Mathematics

Course Overview

Grade 12 Pre-Calculus Mathematics learners will develop trigonometric reasoning by demonstrating an understanding of angles in standard position, developing and applying the equation of the unit circle, and using the six trigonometric ratios for angles. They will represent graphically and analyze trigonometric functions, solve algebraically and graphically trigonometric equations, and prove trigonometric identities. Learners will develop algebraic and graphical reasoning through the study of relations by demonstrating an understanding of the effect of different transformations on graphs of functions and their related equation. They will also demonstrate an understanding of inverses of relations, of logarithms, and of graphing and analyzing a variety of functions. They will develop algebraic and graphical reasoning that involves combinatorics by applying the counting principles, determining the number of permutations and combinations, as well as expanding the powers of a binomial in a variety of ways.

Guiding Principles for the Design of Learning Experiences and Assessment Practices

The Guiding Principles for the Design of Learning Experiences and Assessment Practices provide guidance to all Manitoba educators as they design learning experiences and classroom assessments to strengthen, extend, and expand student learning. Planning with the learner, the context, and the curricula in mind creates opportunities for the co-construction of inclusive learning experiences and assessment practices where the diverse learning needs, abilities, and interests of each learner are met.

Assessment for and as learning involve learners in the process and support learner reflection; assessment of learning (commonly known as summative evaluation) measures final outcomes. All aspects, when done well, contribute to informed teaching and reliable judgment of learner progress.

Guiding Principles for Evaluation and Reporting

The Guiding Principles for Evaluation and Reporting are currently still under development and not yet available. When completed, a notification will be added to the Manitoba Framework for Learning “What’s New?” page on the website.
