Pre-Calculus and Pre-Statistics Modules

The Pre-Calculus and Pre-Statistics Modules for introductory courses provide you with the opportunity to review and demonstrate mastery of prerequisite material. 

You will progress through each module’s series of online assignments as independent study, using the MapleTA software.

These modules are coordinated by Mathematics and Statistics Learning Support. You can make use of Math and Stats Learning Support drop-in hours to obtain extra help with any of the material covered by the module work.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the module program, please contact Tina Balfour.

Pre-Calculus Modules

Each pre-calculus module covers a key skill area from secondary school mathematics, up to and including topics covered in the Ontario Grade 12 Advanced Functions course (i.e., there are no questions requiring calculus itself).

Reviewing this material will not only earn you course credit towards your final calculus grade, but will also help you when completing course work such as problem/lab assignments and tests.

The marks earned by completing modules are non-transferrable from one course to another. How the marks earned are applied to each course may differ; check your course syllabus carefully. If you switch courses or have any questions regarding the module program, contact Tina Balfour.

Fall 2026

The pre-calculus module program will be made available for the following courses, with further details to be posted closer to the start of classes:  MA102, MA103, and  MA129.

Pre-Statistics Modules

Pre-Statistics Modules can be incorporated into any introductory-level course on probability and statistics to provide students with an opportunity to review, and demonstrate mastery of, fundamental math skills required to be successful in such a quantitative course.

No knowledge of statistics is required to complete the modules. They give you an opportunity to review some key mathematical skills that would be required in a statistics course, such as order of operations and working with formula.

Contact Tina Balfour to learn how the modules can be integrated into your course.

Fall 2026

The modules are not incorportated into any courses at this time.

More information, including how to access the MapleTA platform used to offer the module program, will be provided closer to the start of classes.
