How to Use These Resources

TVO Learn is designed to meet each student where they are on their learning journey. Learning Activities are comprehensive and require guided instruction from an adult, while Resources for Learning, Apply the Learning prompts and Vocabulary lists work well to reinforce specific skills or to enable independent exploration of a subject. Use these helpful tips to get the most from TVO Learn.

Curriculum Overview

Throughout this grade, in order to promote a positive identity as a math learner, to foster well-being and the ability to learn, build resilience, and thrive, students will apply, to the best of their ability, a variety of social-emotional learning skills to support their use of the mathematical processes and their learning in connection with the expectations in the other five strands of the mathematics curriculum. 

To learn about positive motivation, students will use a variety of tools and strategies in spatial sense as they try different non-standard units to measure the area of a table top, adjusting as they go in order to reach a solution. 

The mathematics curriculum is divided into six strands:

  • Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Skills in Mathematics and the Mathematical Processes

  • Number

  • Algebra

  • Data

  • Spatial Sense

  • Financial Literacy

Apply the Learning

Choose from the following to consolidate learning across all curriculum strands.

  • Create your own definitions for 20 of the words in the vocabulary list. 

  • Find the length (perimeter) around a room in your house. Round your measurements to the nearest centimeter (cm). Why would you need to know the perimeter of a room? 

  • Design an attractive, colourful poster that includes lines of symmetry, parallel and perpendicular lines. 

  • Go outside and take a photo of 5 things found in nature that show a repeating pattern. Make a collage with the photos. 

  • Estimate the time it will take to travel to another city by car if you drive at the same speed the entire trip. Why will this estimate be different from the real time it will take? 

  • Investigate the cost of an item you wish to buy from 3 different companies. How will you decide which price is the most reasonable or best buy? 

  • Take a tally of your family or friends about their favourite hobby. Design a graph to share the results. What patterns do you notice? 

  • Create a board game that will help you to practice your multiplications facts. 

  • Prove that this algebraic statement is true if n + 3 = 10, then n must be 7. Show how you know. 

  • You have been asked to help assist with a school fundraiser. The school decided to raise money through a walk-a-thon, is this a good fundraiser activity to do. Why or why not? 

  • Ask your family when is their birthday and create an infographic and tell a story about data that you collect and organize.
