Course Description:
This course emphasizes further development of mathematical knowledge and skills to prepare students for success in their everyday lives, in the workplace. The course is organized in three strands related to money sense, measurement, and proportional reasoning. In all strands, the focus is on developing and consolidating key foundational mathematical concepts and skills by solving authentic, everyday problems. Students have opportunities to further develop their mathematical literacy and problem-solving skills and to continue developing their skills in reading, writing, and oral language through relevant and practical math activities.
Prerequisite: None
MESSAGE - Monday, March 23, 2020
Hello students and parents,
I hope you are all staying healthy at home with your families and keeping busy during these unprecedented phase. Thank you for your patience. I know you may have lots of questions concerning a wide range of topics and I wish to reassure you that we WILL get through this. We are waiting to hear from the Ministry of Education and the school board about next steps in terms of distance learning.
In the meantime, to keep up with your numeracy exercises and stimulate your mind, please continue to the best of your ability, with the math workbook I sent each student home with prior to the break. I am not looking for every work to be perfect but that the student has tried their best to complete a few pages each day based on where in the math workbook they are at.
Finally, as our return after the March Break this year is unparalleled and surreal in the wake of this global pandemic which has put a halt to our normal way of life. I very strongly encourage you all to remain at home and continue self-isolating to help slow the spread of this infection. Do remember that as this unique situation is always changing, I will continue my best to keep using this site to keep you all informed as we navigate through this most unique of situations.
Keep calm and stay strong, we are in this together,
I look forward to seeing each of you soon!
Mrs. Lim
