Mathematics

To help your child learn and succeed in the Secondary 2 math program, it’s important to master certain essential concepts. This page gives you access to the key concepts of the Secondary 1 mathematics program, in line with the Quebec Education Program (QEP) and the Learning Pregression (PDA), available on the Ministry of Education and Higher Education of Quebec website.

What is decisive knowledge (learning)?

It corresponds to what your child needs to know, be able to do or understand to succeed in his or her new mathematics program. For learning to be decisive, it must be prior, transferable and lasting.

Prerequisite: Does it prepare your child for other essential learning in the field in question?

Transferable: Is it useful for your child in other school subjects or disciplines?

Durable: Is it useful for your child throughout his or her life?

Skills assessed during the mathematics course

Your child is assessed on the following two skills:

Competence 1 (C1)

Solving a problem situation (30%)

Your child is assessed through a problem situation that raises one or more aspects of a problem that needs to be solved using mathematical knowledge.

Competence 2 (C2)

Use mathematical reasoning (70%)

Your child is assessed with application situations that raise one or more conjectures (relationships, statements, opinions, conclusions, etc.), implicit or explicit, that need to be discovered, explained, generalized, proved or disproved using mathematical knowledge.

Final exam

In Secondary 2, your child does not have to take a Ministry exam. However, his or her educational institution should administer two end-of-school-year exams. The first test, usually in May, assesses the development of Competency 1: Problem-solving. The second test, at the end of the school year, assesses the development of Competency 2: Mathematical reasoning. These tests focus on the main concepts and processes covered in the Secondary 2 mathematics program.

Key skills for higher levels
