Number (Number Concepts and Number Operations)

Students will:

• estimate and solve problems involving numbers, money, decimals, percents, fractions, ratios and proportion in everyday home, workplace and community contexts, using technology as appropriate
• develop and demonstrate number sense to describe quantities, represent numbers in multiple ways and apply appropriate arithmetic operations
• assess the reasonableness of calculations and problem-solving strategies
• communicate mathematically and investigate the application of number concepts and operations in a variety of career and workplace situations, working individually or as members of a team.

General Outcome:

Students will:
solve everyday home, community and workplace problems by applying arithmetic operations to whole numbers, decimals, common fractions, percents and integers.

• communicate mathematically and investigate the application of patterns and relationships in a variety of career and workplace situations, working individually or as members of a team.
  

General Outcome:

Students will:

express and use patterns, variables and expressions, including those used in business and industry, with graphs to solve problems at home, in the community and in the workplace.

Specific Outcomes:

Students will:

1. use relationships and patterns to summarize, generalize and predict when solving problems and making decisions in everyday and work-related contexts [CN, PS, R]

2. generalize patterns arising from everyday problem-solving contexts, using mathematical expressions and equations and/or verifying by substitution [CN, PS, R]

Shape and Space (Measurement)

Students will:

• estimate and take accurate measurements using everyday metric (SI) and imperial units of measure
• solve problems, using appropriate measuring devices (i.e., metric [SI] and by imperial), strategies and technology in home, workplace and community contexts
• communicate mathematically and investigate the application of measurement knowledge and skills in a variety of career and workplace situations, working individually or as members of a team
• assess the reasonableness of calculations and problem-solving strategies.

General Outcome:

Students will:

estimate, measure and compare, using whole numbers, decimals, fractions and metric (SI) and imperial units of measure, to solve everyday problems.

Specific Outcomes:

Students will:

1. use appropriate metric (SI) and imperial measuring strategies, tools and units to measure:

• length
• volume (capacity)
• mass (weight)
• angles
• time
• temperature
  

2. measure within acceptable degrees of accuracy, as required in everyday and work-related situations [CN, PS, R, T]

3. calculate elapsed time in everyday contexts
   [CN, R]

4. use conversion charts, calculators and/or other tools to compare and convert common metric (SI) and imperial units of measure, as required in everyday contexts
   [R, T]

5. investigate the types and uses of measuring tools and units within the community and workplace
   [C, V]

Statistics and Probability (Collecting and Analyzing Information)

Students will:

• collect, generate, interpret, examine and maintain data, charts, graphs and other records for personal use at home, in the workplace and in the community, using technology as appropriate
• use probability, chance and predictions when planning and making everyday decisions
• access the reasonableness of calculations and problem-solving strategies
• communicate mathematically and investigate, collect and examine information in a variety of career and workplace situations, working individually or as members of a team.
  

General Outcome:

Students will:

develop and implement a plan for the collection, display and examination of data and information, using technology and other strategies as required.

Specific Outcomes:

Students will:

1. use information and data from a variety of sources to make comparisons, predictions, inferences, conclusions and/or decisions in everyday situations [CN, E, PS, R]

2. ecord and organize information and data as appropriate in everyday and work-related situations [CN, R]

3. use probability and statistics to predict upcoming events and to make decisions in everyday life
   [CN, E, R]
