York Region Tutoring also accommodates MEL4E and MCT4C. Please contact us for more details regarding these courses.
Grade 12 Advanced Functions 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. We suggest to all parents that they obtain the TI-36x pro for their kids. It is especially useful for Grade 11 and 12 quizzes, tests and exams because it performs complex mathematics which students can exploit to check their answers. And yes, it is allowed for both High School and University quizzes/tests/exams*.
McMaster university has a standardized calculator that students MUST use. One Richmond Hill High School teacher to our knowledge does NOT permit the TI-36x pro. In its replacement, a similar calculator that is accepted is the Casio fx-115ES PLUS.
York Region Tutoring urges all students to complete the past tests that we have compiled specifically from YRDSB/YCDSB school teachers. Tests in the Grade 12 maths and sciences tend to follow a very strict layout, and so completing them will give students the opportunity to assess their strengths and weaknesses as well as direct their attention to topics that require more attention. Completing past tests also allows students to approach school evaluations with more confidence as they are familiarized with the organization of the test & general nature of questions asked. *Please note: while there are clear trends in the types of questions asked on tests, it is not guaranteed that past test questions will map perfectly onto school evaluations, since test-making is ultimately a subjective endeavor, meaning teachers can and do exercise their creative liberties when writing tests.
