110-hour course comprised of 4 units:
Measurement (M) (40–45 hours)Geometry (G) (45–50 hours)Number (N) (20–25 hours)
Algebra (A) (integrated throughout)
Mathematics at Work PathwayMathematics at Work Pathway
This pathway consists of three newly designed courses and replaces the Mathematics Foundations Pathway
These new courses are designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for direct entry into the work force or for entry into programs of study that do not require academic mathematics.
