What does
MATH
look like at Connaught School?
The Alberta Program of Studies is divided into 5 "Strands" that your child will learn throughout the year. As teachers we recognize that the strands are all inter-connected and we need ALL of them together to be successful mathematicians. We also know that the strands build on each other.
There are huge patterns in multiplication and division - think about the number patterns in a multiplication chart - what do you notice? Calculating mean uses division and addition, and statisticians also need a solid understanding of the place value system and what a decimal is. There are patterns in the relationships between sides, edges, and vertices in 3D objects - could you make a table to keep track of them? What patterns can you find in these attributes? Leave a comment below - what other connections can you find in the strands? Why is it important to learn about ALL the strands together, rather than one at a time?
