  4. Mathematics Framework

  5. Content Focus of the Year Year 1: Mathematical Processes Year 2: Rational Numbers and Operations Year 3: Algebraic Relationships Year 4: Measurement and Geometry Year 5: Statistics and Probability

  6. “Big Ideas” in Mathematics Equivalence: Any number, expression, or equation can be represented in different ways that have the same value. Properties: For a given set of numbers, there are relationships that are always true, and they are the rules that govern arithmetic and algebra.

  7. Algebraic Relationships Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities Generalized Properties Sub-skill Areas a x b = b x a Patterns, Relations, and Functions – 25= 37

  8. Situating Content in Classroom Practice Students What do my students understand about the mathematics? What misconceptions or limited ideas do they hold? Teachers Do I understand the mathematics?What connections are weak or missing for me? Curriculum and Assessments What mathematical knowledge is given emphasis in our curriculum materials and classroom assessments? How is that knowledge presented? How is it assessed?
