With such a small teacher to student ratio, students can expect to see improvements in both their understanding of the material and their ability to apply that understanding.
Our teachers specialize in one-on-one and small group teaching. Their focus is to create a learning environment that best suits each student.
We are interested in students learning, not memorizing, concepts and ideas. The idea is that this course helps students prepare for post secondary education by supplying them with the foundational knowledge to succeed.
This course extends students’ experience with functions. Students will investigate the properties of polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; develop techniques for combining functions; broaden their understanding of rates of change; and develop facility in applying these concepts and skills. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended both for students taking the Calculus and Vectors course as a prerequisite for a university program and for those wishing to consolidate their understanding of mathematics before proceeding to any one of a variety of university programs.
The Grade 12 university preparation course Calculus and Vectors is designed to prepare students for university programs, such as science, engineering, and economics, that include a calculus or linear algebra course in the first year. Calculus is introduced in the Rate of Change strand by extending the numeric and graphical representation of rates of change introduced in the Advanced Functions course to include more abstract algebraic representations. The Derivatives and Their Applications strand provides students with the opportunity to develop the algebraic and problem-solving skills needed to solve problems associated with rates of change. Prior knowledge of geometry and trigonometry is used in the Geometry and Algebra of Vectors strand to develop vector concepts that can be used to solve interesting problems, including those arising from real-world applications.
The advanced functions course I am taking has been very educational. I have been taught to learn, rather than memorize. The small class size has given me more opportunities to ask the teacher questions. The small class size has also allowed us to be more flexible and the teacher can adapt to our math skills and learning styles. It is like having a personal tutor! I would highly recommend MEI for any course.
