In September 2012, Alberta is introducing a new math course: Math 30-3.
Description:This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into the majority of trades and for direct entry into the work force. Topics include algebra, geometry, measurement, number, statistics and probability.
It is important to note, Math 30-3 does not have a diploma.
Alberta Education has set up a website that outlines the requirements for various trades in Alberta.View the webpage and see if Math 30-3 is right for you. Talk to your math teacher if you have any questions.
Post secondary institutions are constantly analyzing and revising math requirements for their existing programs. Below you will find a link to website indicating current requirements under the new mathematics program. Check these links often as they can change without notice.

Calculator Policy:
Only graphing calculators on Alberta Learning's approved list may be used. The TI-83 plus or TI-84 plus is recommended as all staff at Salisbury are familiar with their use and will be able to assist you with their various functions. If a student purchases a calculator other than the TI-83 plus or TI-84 plus , the onus will be on the student to learn to use it properly. Your teacher must be able to clear your calculator at any time. Password protection must be removed. Games are not allowed on any calculator that is used in the classroom. All calculators will be cleared before exams and the lids must be placed on the floor as per rules set out by Alberta Learning.
Cell Phones:
Cell phones are not allowed in math classes at Salisbury. They are a source of distraction and a threat to exam security.
Math courses are organized into four programs. Students are placed into the program which is most appropriate for them according to their achievement in junior high math and their personal goals. Refer below to the flowchart.
Students considering post -secondary studies should contact their guidance counselor before choosing mathematics courses. The entry marks suggested for each of the math courses are highly recommended by Elk Island Public Schools for optimal success. Consultation with teachers, counselors or administration is highly recommended before registration to any course or for transfer between courses.
