Understanding High School Credits
Grade 10 Math - Important Note
To enroll in Math 10C, students must have completed Grade 9 Math at the "beginning level or more" (60% and above). Those who did not pass Grade 9 Math or have a limited or emerging understanding will be placed in Math 15 if they wish to take Math 10C in the following semester. Students must successfully complete (60%) the self-paced Math 15 course to qualify for Math 10C. They will receive 5 credits for the Math 15 course and 5 credits for the Math 10C course. If they do not pass Math 15, they will be placed in Math 10–3 for semester 2.
Additionally, students who did not pass Grade 9 Math and do not enroll in Math 15 will also be placed in Math 10–3 for the second semester. Math 10-3 is still on track for diploma. See the video below for more explanation.
