The four strands of Language are:
Literacy Connections and Applications
Foundations of Language (Oral Communication, Reading and Writing)
Comprehension: Understanding and Responding to Texts (Reading)
Composition: Expressing Ideas and Creating Texts (Writing)
At school, children learn the concepts and skills identified for each grade in the Ontario Mathematics curriculum.
Children learn mathematics best through activities that encourage them to:
investigate
think about what they are investigating
gather information, organize it, and act on it
use information that they have gathered from a variety of sources to solve problems
explain how they reached their solutions
