| Mathematics 436 is a program designed for Secondary IV students who wish to study the sciences, commerce, business administration or a technical trade and who have demonstrated the ability to do so.
To prepare young Quebecers for the demanding world of the twenty-first century, schools must focus on the students' cognitive growth and the development of basic skills (i.e. communication and problem-solving skills as well as the ability to work with technology).
Because society is changing so rapidly, and owing to developments in the field of mathematics education, it is important to stress the interconnection of knowledge, skills and attitudes in the teaching of this program.
Mathematics 436 differs from Mathematics 416 in two ways. First, it covers more material in greater detail and deals with more complex situations, problems and applications. Secondly, the students must use advanced terminology and formal notation, always be rigorous and precise, and justify every step in their solutions. In addition to preparing the students for science instruction, mathematics education should provide fertile ground for the development of skills that will be useful to them in the future: As Resnick and Klopfer have noted, "Graduates must not only be literate; they must also be competent thinkers."
