Math K-7 IRP Introduction to Mathematics K to 7

Organization of Learning Outcomes

The learning outcomes are arranged according to four curriculum organizers:

These curriculum organizers are the formal aspects of the discipline of mathematics. They form the framework of the curriculum and act as connecting threads across all grade levels. Within each curriculum organizer are two or three sub-organizers.


Organizer
(Sub-Organizer)
........General Learning Outcomes
..........It is expected that students will:
Number
(Number Concepts)
  • use numbers to describe quantities
  • represent numbers in multiple ways
(Number Operations)
  • develop understanding of and proficiency with calculations
  • describe what arithmetical operation or operations can be used to solve a problem and then solvve the problem
Patterns and Relations
(Patterns)
  • use patterns to describe the world around them and to solve problems
(Variables and Equations)
  • represent algebraic expressions in multiple ways
(Relations and Functions)
  • use algebraic and graphical models to generalize patterns, make predictions, and solve problems
Shape and Space
(Measurement)
  • describe and compare real-world phenomena using either direct or indirect measurement
(3-D Objects and 2-D Shapes)
  • describe the characteristics of 3-D objects and 2-D shapes and analyse the relationships among them
(Transformations)
  • perform, analyse, and create transformations
Statistics and Probability
(Data analysis)
  • collect, display, and analyse data to make predictions about a population
(Chance and Uncertainty)
  • use experimental and theoretical probability to represent and solve problems involving uncertainty
