Teaching Resources and Strategies for Elementary and Secondary Classrooms
The Teacher's Toolkit is a collection of electronic resources from the Ontario Ministry of Education to help elementary and secondary teachers bring Aboriginal perspectives into their classrooms.
It provides many opportunities to enrich teaching and learning through the introduction of Aboriginal themes, topics and perspectives.
This resource from Ontario provides parents with information on how they can support Math learning and development at home.
"This guide is intended to support teachers’ ongoing efforts in building students’ knowledge and skills in mathematics. It focuses attention on the content of expectations in The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 1–8: Mathematics, 2005 that deal with fundamental mathematics concepts and skills (specifically, expectations in the Number Sense and Numeration strand and expectations that relate to number properties in the Patterning and Algebra strand). The guide outlines steps to achieving the knowledge and skills described in these expectations and suggests how to make more timely connections that will better support student learning. A strong foundation in the concepts and skills emphasized here will prepare students for success in high school, and ensure that they have a set of essential skills for employment and responsible citizenship in the future."
There are excellent charts included that organize foundational skills by grade grouping. These charts start on page 5.
Includes the scope and sequence for grades 4 to 8 for financial literacy.
