Pre-Calculus Mathematics (40S)
The Grade 12 Mathematics curriculum focuses on three primary areas: Trigonometry, Relations and Functions, and Permutations, Combinations, and the Binomial Theorem.
In Trigonometry, students delve into the unit circle, radian measure, trigonometric equations, identities, and how to analyze and transform graphs of trigonometric functions.
The Relations and Functions section covers operations, compositions, inverses, and transformations of algebraic functions, thorough analysis of logarithmic and exponential functions, and the factoring and graphing of polynomial functions.
Lastly, the Permutations, Combinations, and the Binomial Theorem segment starts with the fundamental counting theorem, applies permutations and combinations to problem-solving, and ends with an exploration of the binomial theorem.
Students in this course will need a scientific calculator.
Science (Biology/Chemistry/Physics)
At the Grade 12 level, students at Iqra Islamic School have the option to continue their studies in Biology, Chemistry, and/or Physics. It is recommended that students have demonstrated strong interest and capability in their Grade 11 courses before advancing to these more rigorous senior courses.
In Biology 40S, students will delve into patterns of heredity, human genetics, mutations, and protein synthesis. The course also covers broad surveys of the five kingdoms, taxonomy, evolution, and fundamental processes like cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
The Grade 12 Chemistry course builds upon the foundations laid in Grade 11, exploring topics such as the periodic table and atomic structure, physical properties of matter, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, and various types of reactions including acid-base and oxidation-reduction.
Physics in Grade 12 focuses on electricity and magnetism, as well as waves and light, continuing to build on the principles studied in previous years.
These courses are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding and prepare students for future academic pursuits in these fields.
Social Studies - GLOBAL ISSUES: CITIZENSHIP AND SUSTAINABILITY
Students explore the social, political, environmental, and economic impacts of various contemporary and emerging global issues. Their investigations center on questions of quality of life at local, national, and global levels. The course is grounded in the principles of active democratic citizenship, ecological literacy, critical media literacy, and ethical decision-making. It aims to integrate knowledge from different disciplines to empower students as agents of change for a sustainable and equitable future. An integral part of the course involves planning and executing a community-based action research project. Key topics of inquiry include media, consumerism, environmental challenges, poverty, globalization, Indigenous peoples, peace and conflict, and human rights.
