Strands in the Mathematics Curriculum
Overall and specific expectations in mathematics are organized into five strands, which are the
five major areas of knowledge and skills in the mathematics curriculum.
The program in all grades is designed to ensure that students build a solid foundation in mathematics
by connecting and applying mathematical concepts in a variety of ways. To support
this process, teachers will, whenever possible, integrate concepts from across the five strands
and apply the mathematics to real-life situations.
The five strands are Number Sense and Numeration, Measurement, Geometry and Spatial
Sense, Patterning and Algebra, and Data Management and Probability
