Example of contents taught in Math 10; the fundementals of algebra
Math 12:
Math 12 will focus on transformations and analyses of various functions used in higher mathematics, geometric sequences and series, as well as trigonometry. If students wish to take AP (advance placement) math, then students must have an 80% or higher in pre-calculus 11 and must be taking pre-calculus 12 concurrently.​
Math 12 is the last highschool math course
Math Courses
Palmer offers a variety of Math courses, that students can choose depending on their confidence in their math ability
Math 9

Math 11:
Math 11 is divided into 4 courses, workplace 11, math foundations 11, enriched math 11 and pre-calculus 11. Students may choose the course they believe are the most suitable for themselves, based on their math abilities. Math 11's topic consists of mathematical reasoning, angle relationships, graph analysis, applications of statistics, scale models, as well as financial literacy.
Math Advanced Placement:
​This course is for students who want a head start in university, contents in Math AP is equivalent to the first year of maths in university. However, credits will only be given after students get a 4 or above in AB or BC exams.
Math AP teaches concepts in calculus like derivitive and intergrals in a deeper depth
