Prerequisite
None
Description
This course enables students to consolidate, and continue to develop, an understanding of mathematical concepts related to number sense and operations, algebra, measurement, geometry, data, probability, and financial literacy. Students will use mathematical processes, mathematical modelling, and coding to make sense of the mathematics they are learning and to apply their understanding to culturally responsive and relevant real-world situations. Students will continue to enhance their mathematical reasoning skills, including proportional reasoning, spatial reasoning, and algebraic reasoning, as they solve problems and communicate their thinking.
Teaching and Learning strategies
Along with some of the strategies noted in the assessment for, as, and of learning charts below, strategies will include (but not be limited to):
- Demonstrations
- Student-specific tutorials and one-on-one help
- Structured discussion
- Peer teaching and support
- Real-world problem solving
- Math talk
- Socratic teaching
- Critical pedagogies
- YouTube video support (eg. Khan Academy)
