INTRODUCTION
This document replaces The Ontario Curriculum, Grade 11: Mathematics, 2006, and the Grade 12 courses in The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 11 and 12: Mathematics, 2000. Beginning in September 2007, all Grade 11 and Grade 12 mathematics courses will be based on the expectations outlined in this document.
SECONDARY SCHOOLS FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
The goal of Ontario secondary schools is to support high-quality learning while giving individual students the opportunity to choose programs that suit their skills and interests. The updated Ontario curriculum, in combination with a broader range of learning options outside traditional classroom instruction, will enable students to better customize their high school education and improve their prospects for success in school and in life.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MATHEMATICS IN THE CURRICULUM
This document provides a framework outlining what students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of each of the courses in the Grade 11?12 mathematics curriculum. The required knowledge and skills include not only important mathematical facts and procedures but also the mathematical concepts students need to understand and the mathematical processes they must learn to apply.
The principles underlying this curriculum are shared by educators dedicated to the success of all students in learning mathematics. Those principles can be stated as follows:1
Curriculum expectations must be coherent, focused, and well-articulated across the grades. Learning mathematics involves the meaningful acquisition of concepts, skills, and processes and the active involvement of students in building new knowledge from prior knowledge and experience. Learning tools such as manipulatives and technologies are important supports for teaching and learning mathematics. Effective teaching of mathematics requires that the teacher understand the mathematical concepts, procedures, and processes that students need to learn, and use a variety of instructional strategies to support meaningful learning. Assessment and evaluation must support learning, recognizing that students learn and demonstrate learning in various ways.
