Algebra / Patterning / Coding
In this unit the students are responsible for knowing the following concepts:
Patterning:
Algebra:
Coding:
Patterning:
- identify both numeric and geometric patterns within graphs and charts
- make tables of value with patterns
- describe pattern rules in words
- determine a term (numbers in pattern) based on pattern rules
Algebra:
- Order of operation BEDMAS
- solve problems that use two or three symbols or letters as variables
- determine the solution to a simple equation with one variable
Coding:
- writing and executing code with conditional statements
- read and alter existing code and debug
Financial Literacy
In this unit the students are responsible for knowing the following concepts.
The majority of this unit will be held within the google classroom as we have most of our work to be entered in google slides as there are many links to articles and videos in the slides.
- different types of payment methods (advantages vs disadvantages)
- different types of financial goals (and factors that negatively affect reaching those goals)
- identify types of interest rates and fees associated with different accounts
- understanding trading, lending and borrowing

Spatial Sense Part I - Polygons & Angles
In this unit the students are responsible for knowing the following concepts.
- classifying quadrilaterals and other polygons (by features - angles, sides, parallel sides)
- lines of symmetry
- rotational symmetry
- angles (measuring and creating angles)
- creating polygons based on given angles and side measurements
- analyze 3D isometric shapes and identify their side, top and front views
Number Strand Part I - Addition, Subtraction, Division and Multiplication with Decimals
Here are the concepts students are going to be responsible for by the end of the unit
- place value (1,000,000 to 0.001)
- rounding numbers from 1,000,000 to 0.001
- comparing and ordering numbers from 1,000,000 to 0.001
- multi-digit addition with decimals
- multi-digit subtraction with decimals
- 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication & 3 digit by 2 digit multiplication (both with and without decimals)
- long division with and without remainders (both with and without decimals - use the Dracula Must Suck Blood strategy to help with the division steps; divide, multiply, subtract and bring down)
- prime and composite numbers
- negative integers (new to the curriculum)
Here are some videos to help you better understand some of the more difficult concepts.
The following videos demonstrate both division and multiplication with decimals.
Probability & Data Management
For probability students are responsible for the following concepts:
- theoretical probability as a fraction of favorable outcomes to total outcomes possible
- represent the probability of an event
- predict frequency of an outcome based on probability
For data management students are responsible for the following concepts:
- range, mode, mean and median
- stem and leaf plot
- interpret data from a variety of graphs
- build graph with all components
Here are the types of graphs we are going to explore in class:
