Official Ontario course description
Functions and Applications, Grade 11, University/College Preparation (MCF3M)
This course introduces basic features of the function by extending students’ experiences with quadratic relations. It focuses on quadratic, trigonometric, and exponential functions and their use in modelling real-world situations. Students will represent functions numerically, graphically, and algebraically; simplify expressions; solve equations; and solve problems relating to applications. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.
Prerequisite: Principles of Mathematics, Grade 10, Academic, or Foundations of Mathematics, Grade 10, Applied

MCF3M frequently asked questions
What is the prerequisite for MCF3M?
The Ontario prerequisite for MCF3M is MPM2D, Grade 10 Principles of Mathematics, or MFM2P, Grade 10 Foundations of Mathematics.
What can I take after MCF3M?
MCF3M is a prerequisite for MDM4U, MAP4C and MCT4C. To take MHF4U, you need MCR3U or MCT4C.
What is the difference between MCF3M and MCR3U?
MCR3U is the university preparation course and leads directly to MHF4U. MCF3M is a university/college course with a stronger focus on applications.
How long does MCF3M take online?
The course has 110 hours of lessons. You have 4 months from enrollment, and extensions are available up to 12 months in total. Many students finish sooner because the course is self-paced.
Will my MCF3M mark be accepted?
Yes. Aubrey Academy is Ministry-inspected, and we submit your final grade directly to OUAC or OCAS and send your report card to your home school.
I already took MCF3M. Can I raise my mark?
Yes. Our Mark Upgrade option builds on the work you already completed instead of retaking the full course.
