The requirements to graduate are: math 10 course & math 11, or 12 course. If you have enough credits you don’t have to take math 12, but it is highly recommend because many fields require math 12 for university or college.

Palmer provides:

There are also specialized branches which are statistics, probability, matrix algebra, number theory, logic, and topology.

The main and common core branches of math are arithmetics, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus.

Arithmetics includes basic operations you learned in elementary. Basic operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Algebra; in algebra you focus on variables and the rules of manipulating the variables. The variables are often represented by letters and symbols. Basic operations are required in order to understand the field of algebra.
Geometry; geometry is all about shapes and the properties of space. In geometry you learn how to solve for height, distance, length. Base, positions, and size.
Trigonometry; in trigonometry you study and solve the relationships for angles and sides of triangles.

Calculus, in calculus you study the rate of change. In order to study calculus it's required to study all the branches I named before this, even if you have, it’ll still be difficult because it requires a high level of abstract thinking. A strong vast foundation must be built.

In statistics you learn about analyzing and collecting data, making graphs to organize data, interpret data, and more. In probability you study about measuring the possibilities of an event occurring.

In matrix algebra you learn about a specialized area of dealing algebra with matrices. Matrices are a rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions arranged in rows and columns.

In number theory you study about integers and their properties. In logic the field is all about reasoning and proof, it's a system of reasoning that employs a standard between symbols.

Last is topology, and here it's a field of geometry that studies the properties of space.

In math you learn about fundamental skills and problems-solving skills.

Many career fields requires math, for example finance (accounting, banking, finical analysts), technology (programming, software engineering, data analysts), research or academia (statistics, mathematician), and much more
