This curriculum policy replaces The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 1-8: Mathematics, 2005. Beginning in September 2020, all mathematics programs for Grades 1 to 8 will be based on the expectations outlined in this curriculum policy.

Coding using Financial Literacy - In this lesson, students will understand how spreadsheet programs can be used to manage a budget, alter a sample spreadsheet to meet our own plans, and learn to design budgets and make choices based on changing situations (for example by differentiating between needs and wants).
[Folder]

Coding through Location and Movement - In this lesson, students will create code to take a trip route using the coordinate plane, using shape, location and movement descriptors. They may even encounter detours along the way.
[Folder]

In this lesson, students will learn how to recall and demonstrate multiplication and division facts up to 12 x 12 by using and manipulating existing code. They will apply this code to a spreadsheet to create original artwork.
[Folder]

In this lesson, using Scratch, students will learn to understand and represent patterns, relating them to equivalent decimals and fractions so they understand how the size of the whole affects the size of a fraction. They will also learn to make predictions about patterns.

In this lesson, students will begin to think about budgets. Teachers can choose between 2 scenarios (raising money for a trip, or earning money from a job like babysitting) to explore. Students will consider why they may want to earn money, how they might earn it, and prioritize how it might be spent.
[Folder]

In this lesson, students create a rating scale to help them evaluate and choose DPA activities for their class. They engage in the process of mathematical modelling by working with others to identify assumptions, create a model (their rating system) and then using and revising that model.
[Folder]

In this lesson, students explore the interrelationship between fractions, decimals and percentages. Students navigate an online interactive Google Slide that allows to learn and explore all while using visuals and digital manipulatives.
[Folder]

A bilingual compilation of pertinent vocabulary directly related to computational thinking and computer programming/coding.
[PDF]

A continuum from Grades 1-8 outlining the key coding concepts per grade coupled with a Scratch project with teacher notes.

A summary of Virtual Manipulatives for Fractions that are available, including links, and considerations for their usage.

This hour-long webinar will outline the vision, goals and strands of the revised Ontario Elementary Mathematics Curriculum. In this webinar, we will unpack these very important sections of the Curriculum Context of the revised curriculum, providing educators with an introduction as to how this "front matter" has expanded and what these changes mean to educators as they plan their math programs. We will also give an overview of the changes in the curriculum, particularly as they relate to the strands.

This hour-long webinar will focus on Mathematical Modelling. In this webinar, we will explore in detail what the mathematical modelling process looks like and how it is truly new to the curriculum. We hope to deepen educators’ understanding of what Mathematical Modelling is and how it can be woven into a math program. Sample tasks will be discussed.
Also available:
* the slides for this presentation, in Google Slides format.
* links and resources document, "Resources for Curriculum Context Webinar 3", comprising links to research, videos, audio, and websites which may be of use to you as you continue to learn more about the Mathematical Modelling process.
