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.

Students continue to build healthy relationship skills. They will use data in an infographic to communicate and tell a story and build awareness about others. This will help them understand things they have in common with their peers and what makes different groups unique.

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

Complete these activities to apply and practice the learning. This step is important.

  • Create and solve problems that involve proportions (for example, determine the percentage increase or decrease in the attendance of a sporting event) and whole numbers, fractions, decimals, integers and exponents.

  • Create a plan/budget to save to make a special purchase to help you manage money to reach your financial goals. Identify ways to maintain balanced budgets.
  • When out shopping, estimate the amount of a purchase, calculate the tax and check your change.
  • Use a T-chart to compare different ways that consumers can get value for their money when spending, such as using reward programs or taking advantage of sales.
  • Investigate the concepts of simple and compound interest using technology, (for example, a spreadsheet program) and explain how interest affects long-term financial planning.
  • Use algebraic notation, such as, s = d/t, to represent the relationship between speed, distance and time.
  • Find a triangular shape object in your home, use the Pythagorean Theory, to show that if two side lengths are known, then the length of the third can be figured out without measuring it.
  • How can you explain to someone what is as a terabyte and a nanosecond that are used.
  • Create your own definitions for 20 math words in the vocabulary list.
