Essential Mathematics
This pathway is designed to provide students with the
mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills
identified for entry into the majority of trades and for
direct entry into the work force. Topics include algebra,
geometry, measurement, number, statistics and
probability.
Grade 10 – Grade 12 Mathematics
Applied Mathematics
This pathway is designed to provide students with the
mathematical understandings 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, statistics and probability.
Grade 10 – Grade 12 Mathematics
Pre-Calculus Mathematics
This pathway is designed to provide students with the
mathematical understandings 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.
What is Career and Technology
Studies?
CTS is a strategy developed by the Prairie Rose S.D.
Enables students to access Senior Years Technology Education options. (not a
vocational school but opportunities)
CTS aligns learning opportunities in school and community settings that result in
highly individualized, flexible programming.
Optional courses from Technology Education (Electronics, Building Systems,
Home Economics, and Business/ Computer Studies) are combined with communitybased “Career Internship”, and Career Path Management activity from across the
curriculum to create 'programs'.
Technology Education
