Learning The revised curriculum supports students learning mathematics with understanding and actively building new knowledge from experience and prior knowledge.
Conceptual Understanding • Conceptual understanding refers to an integrated and functional grasp of mathematics. • It is more than knowing isolated facts and procedures. Eg. Multiplication the Algebraic Way
Conceptual Understanding • Conceptual understanding supports retention. When facts and procedures are learned in a connected way, they are easier to remember and use and can be reconstructed when forgotten. Hiebert and Wearne 1996; Bruner 1960, Katona 1940
Balancing Conceptual Understanding and Procedural Fluency • Pitting procedural fluency against conceptual understanding creates a false dichotomy. • Understanding makes learning skills easier, less susceptible to common errors and less prone to forgetting. • Also, a certain level of skill is required to learn many mathematical concepts with understanding Hiebert and Carpenter 1992
Revision -describe the relationship between the algebraic and geometric representations of a single variable term up to degree three ( i.e., length, which is one dimensional, can be represented by x; area, which is two dimensional can be represented by x^2, and volume, which is three dimensional can be ….

Gr 7 Gr 8 Gr 9 Gr 10 Your turn to put the puzzle together Your turn to investigate expectations from grade 7, 8, 9 and 10 that build on one another.
On your tables you will find a green sheet that has an overall expectation. Determine the prerequisite expectation(s) from Grade 10 to Grade 7 and remain in the same pathway. Use the organizer and chart paper at your table. Post on the back wall when completed.
