This year, you will work toward becoming a confident and flexible mathematical thinker who can solve problems, explain ideas, make connections and choose strategies that make sense.<\/p>\n<h2>Thinking and Problem Solving<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You will learn through problems, investigations, games, challenges and real-world situations. We will explore different ways to solve the same problem and learn from one another\u2019s strategies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Being a strong mathematician does not mean calculating everything quickly. It means being willing to:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>think carefully<\/li>\n<li>notice patterns and make connections<\/li>\n<li>try different approaches<\/li>\n<li>explain why your strategy makes sense<\/li>\n<li>keep going when a problem is challenging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You will often work with classmates and use whiteboards, manipulatives, diagrams and models to show your thinking.<\/p>\n<h2>Numbers, Patterns and Algebra<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You will continue developing your number sense and calculation skills while investigating relationships between numbers. Our learning will include:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>factors, multiples and divisibility<\/li>\n<li>integers<\/li>\n<li>order of operations<\/li>\n<li>patterns and relationships<\/li>\n<li>variables, expressions and equations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Our goal is not only to memorize steps. You will also learn why mathematical strategies work and when to use them.<\/p>\n<h2>Fractions, Decimals and Percents<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You will strengthen your understanding of fractions, decimals and percents and explore how they are connected. We will use models, visuals, estimation, calculations and real-world examples to make these ideas meaningful.<\/p>\n<h2>Shape, Space and Measurement<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Through hands-on activities and investigations, you will explore:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>angles<\/li>\n<li>area, perimeter and volume<\/li>\n<li>shapes and geometric relationships<\/li>\n<li>transformations<\/li>\n<li>coordinate grids<\/li>\n<li>measurement and spatial reasoning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Some of this learning may also connect with coding, building and design challenges.<\/p>\n<h2>Data and Probability<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You will learn how to collect, organize, represent and interpret data. You will also investigate probability through experiments, games and real-world situations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Most importantly, you will learn to question what data shows and decide whether the conclusions being made are reasonable.<\/p>\n<h2>Financial Literacy<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You will apply mathematics to everyday financial decisions. Our learning may include:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>different ways to pay<\/li>\n<li>budgeting<\/li>\n<li>taxes and tips<\/li>\n<li>discounts<\/li>\n<li>interest and fees<\/li>\n<li>making informed financial choices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Building Your Skills and Confidence<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Everyone enters the year with different mathematical strengths and areas for growth. Some learning will begin with a shared problem for the entire class, while the support, complexity and expectations will be adjusted for Grade 6 and Grade 7 learners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Important skills will be revisited throughout the year so that your understanding continues to grow.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Goal<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">By the end of the year, we want you to see yourself as a capable mathematician. You will be encouraged to take risks, learn from mistakes, communicate your thinking and persevere when a solution is not immediately clear.<\/p>\n<p>Our plans may change during the year as we respond to your learning, readiness, questions and new opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_bg_child_page_menu_hide":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-288","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hub71.ca\/tmcmurray\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hub71.ca\/tmcmurray\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hub71.ca\/tmcmurray\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hub71.ca\/tmcmurray\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hub71.ca\/tmcmurray\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=288"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/hub71.ca\/tmcmurray\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/288\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":699,"href":"https:\/\/hub71.ca\/tmcmurray\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/288\/revisions\/699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hub71.ca\/tmcmurray\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
