Mathematics
The Mathematics Department at Senator O'Connor College School uses modern mathematics educational practices to develop and deepen our students' understanding of mathematical ideas and methods through the exploration of applications, the effective use of technology, abstract reasoning, and hands-on activities.
We offer a diverse range of mathematics courses to cater to the various mathematical aptitudes of our students - from Locally Developed and Workplace courses to Enriched Mathematics courses. The Enriched Mathematics courses are for Grade 9 to 11 students which lead to Advanced Placement Calculus for students in their Grade 12 year. Students in the Advanced Placement Calculus course may choose to write the College Board Advanced Placement exam which some universities may accept as a first-year Calculus credit.
Students also have opportunities to participate in a number of mathematics and computing contests, including those hosted by the University of Waterloo.
