Mr. Johnston Year at a glance (things will change!)
Math (7-1 and 7-2)
Whole Numbers (integers [negative numbers], exponents/square roots, exponential notation, operations including with integers, factors/multiples)
Data Management (graphing [histograms, other graphs], averages)
Patterning and Algebra (linear equations [y=mx+b], algebra [with negative numbers])
Financial Literacy (borrowing [mortgages, car loans, payday loans, credit cards], exchange rates, stocks, etc.)
Geometry/Measurement/Spatial Sense (BIG focus on circles [circumference and area], transformations on the Cartesian plane including dilations)
Parts and Wholes (fractions, decimals, rates/ratios and percents [including negative parts, equivalence, operations including multiplication and division]
Coding (focus on loops/subprograms and keeping code efficient)
Probability (focus on using parts/wholes to represent likelihood, dependent vs. independent events)
Language (7-2 only)
Literacy centres all year long (guided reading, word work, independent reading on the computer, visual writing prompt/100 words challenge)
Writing - video/image prompts, choose your own adventure, biographies, persuasive writing/rants, procedural writing, poetry, fractured fairy tales, podcasts, independent study, I'm thinking about making sitcoms this year (but we'll see!)
Media and Oral throughout the year connected to other projects
Math (grade 5) I never seem to keep the order, but here's our units. I will send email reminders when we are starting new units.
Whole numbers (ordering, comparing, all 4 operations, bedmas)
Data Management (bar graphs, sampling, building graphs on paper and software, averages, misleading graphs)
Patterning and algebra (patterns of all sorts, coding, algebra, inequalities)
Parts (decimals, fractions, rates, ratios, percent)
Location and Movement (transformations, cartesian plane, more coding)
Measurement (area of shapes, especially triangles and parallelograms, triangle measurements (protractor), missing angles)
Probability (focus on probability in number line with words, theoretical vs. experimental)
Financial Literacy (payment types and interest, budget planning, tax and tax uses)
