Grade 12 math resources for Western Canada (BC, AB, MB)

There are a ton of places to get free math resources on the internet. But sometimes, you want Canadian material that follows your own curriculum.

If you’re studying high school math in western Canada (British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba – sorry, I don’t think he’s gotten around to making a page for Saskatchewan yet!), then you’ll want to check out the following websites for a complete curriculum, online textbook that you can download and print and practice exams that follow your provincial senior math guidelines:

BC – Principles of Mathematics 12 – www.math12.com
AB – Pure Math 30 – www.puremath30.com
MB – Pre-Calculus Math 40S – www.math40s.com

Even if you’re studying math in another province, these resources will no doubt be helpful as extra practice or a curriculum supplement.
