Course description

This course enables students to broaden their understanding of mathematics as a problem solving tool in the real world. Students will extend their understanding of quadratic relations; investigate situations involving exponential growth; solve problems involving compound interest; solve financial problems connected with vehicle ownership; develop their ability to reason by collecting, analysing, and evaluating data involving one variable; connect probability and statistics; and solve problems in geometry and trigonometry. Students will consolidate their mathematical skills as they solve problems and communicate their thinking.

Is MBF3C from Innocent Hearts accepted by universities and colleges?

Yes. Innocent Hearts is inspected by the Ontario Ministry of Education (BSID 886638), so MBF3C earns a full Ontario credit that appears on your Ontario Student Transcript and is accepted by universities and colleges. We can also report your final mark to OUAC or OCAS.

How long does it take to complete MBF3C?

MBF3C includes 110 hours of instruction. In our four-term system you take it alongside one other course and finish in about ten weeks; summer and fast-track online options can be quicker.

Can I take MBF3C online or at night?

Yes. MBF3C can be taken full-time during the day, part-time on evenings and weekends, or through our online hybrid model with live classes. Summer availability varies by session — contact us to confirm dates.

What do I need to enrol in MBF3C?

You'll need proof that you've completed the prerequisite (Foundations of Mathematics, Grade 10, Applied (MFM2P)) — usually a transcript or report card — plus proof of status in Canada.
