Curriculum

MAT1L2 Locally Developed Mathematics, Grade 3/4

This course emphasizes development of mathematical knowledge and skills to prepare students for success in their everyday lives, in the workplace, in the Grade 9 and 10 LDCC courses.

The course is organized into five strands related to number sense, measurement, geometry and spatial sense, patterning and algebra and data management. In all strands the focus is on developing and consolidating key foundational mathematical concepts and skills by solving authentic, everyday problems. Students will 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. 

MAT1L8 Locally Developed Mathematics, Grade 5/6

This course is designed to provide additional experiences in problem solving and building on fundamental math skills and development. The course emphasizes further development of mathematical knowledge and skills to prepare students for success in their everyday lives. It is the prerequisite course for MAT2L8.

The course is organized into five strands related to number sense, measurement, geometry, patterns and algebra, probability and data management. In all strands the focus is on developing and consolidating key foundational mathematical concepts and skills by solving authentic, everyday problems. Students will 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. 

MAT2L8 Locally Developed Mathematics, Grade 7/8

This course emphasizes the extension of mathematical knowledge and skills to prepare students for success in their everyday lives, in the workplace, and in the Mathematics Grade 11 and Grade 12 Workplace Preparation courses. The course is organized by three strands related to money sense, measurement, and proportional reasoning. In all strands, the focus is on strengthening and extending key foundational mathematical concepts and skills by solving authentic, everyday problems. Students have opportunities to extend 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. At Greenwood this course prepares students for Grade 9 Destreamed Course.

MTH1W Mathematics, Grade 9 de-streamed

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. 

MPM2D Principals of Mathematics, Grade 10 Academic

This course enables students to broaden their understanding of relationships and extend their problem-solving and algebraic skills through investigation, the effective use of technology, and abstract reasoning. Students will explore quadratic relations and their applications; solve and apply linear systems; verify properties of geometric figures using analytic geometry; and investigate the trigonometry of right and acute triangles. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems. 

MEL3 Mathematics for Work and Everyday Life, Grade 11 Workplace Preparation 

This course enables students to broaden their understanding of mathematics as it is applied in the workplace and daily life. Students will solve problems associated with earning money, paying taxes, and making purchases; apply calculations of simple and compound interest in saving, investing, and borrowing; and calculate the costs of transportation and travel in a variety of situations. Students will consolidate their mathematical skills as they solve problems and communicate their thinking.
