Read, Represent, and Compare Numbers
In the Read, Represent, and Compare Numbers unit, students will learn to read, represent, and compare whole numbers, decimal numbers, and fractions. They will also learn about multiples and factors and how to determine them for whole numbers. Students will explore square numbers and square roots and learn how to add and subtract integers.
Geometry
In the Geometry unit, students will learn to describe and classify 3D figures, draw figures and shapes using different perspective views, and understand how shapes can be similar without being identical. They will also learn how to dilate a shape by drawing a version of the same shape that is larger or smaller but having the same proportions. In addition, students will transform shapes on a grid.
Operations
In the Operations unit, students will extend their knowledge to multiply and divide fractions and decimal numbers. They will solve multi-step problems involving both multiplication and division and start to use exponents to represent repeated multiplication.
Fractions
In the Fractions unit, students will add and subtract fractions, improper fractions, and mixed numbers, as well as learn how to simplify fractions.
Proportional Relationships
In the Proportional Relationships unit, students will learn to generate equivalencies among fractions, decimal numbers, and percentages. They will develop this skill to solve problems involving percentages of whole numbers and increasing and decreasing whole numbers by percent. In addition, students will solve problems involving unit rates.
Data
In the Data unit, students will learn ways to collect data, represent data, and convey messages using data in infographics. Students will also explore central tendency and the ways in which to determine the different types, as well as learning how to analyse data to make inferences and draw conclusions.
Patterning and Algebra
In the Patterning and Algebra unit, students will explore and compare number patterns in whole numbers and integers. They will also be introduced to algebraic expressions, monomials, and inequalities.
Coding
In the Coding unit, students will learn to read, write, alter, and debug code that is controlled by defined counts and uses sub-programs.
Measurement
In the Measurement unit, students will solve problems relating to perimeter, area, volume, capacity, and surface area. Students will also explore measurements of circles, such as their circumference and area. They will then be able to determine the surface area and volume of cylinders.
Financial Literacy
In the Financial Literacy unit, students will explore international currencies and compare their value to Canadian dollars and other currencies. They will explore how to plan for and reach a financial goal using budgeting, knowledge of the impact of interest rates, and fees associated with different types of accounts.
Socio-Emotional Learning
Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to build their social-emotional learning skills by specifically focusing on how to cope with stress and by managing complex challenges. Students learn to break down a task into smaller portions, make a plan, and work with it one step at a time.
