Parent Council Presentation 2012 with parent questions.notebook February 24, 2012 CONTINUUM TO HIGH SCHOOL FROM GRADE 1 TO 8 MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM: • Number Sense and Numeration • Measurement • Geometry and Spatial Sense • Patterning and Algebra • Data Management and Probability Where expectations were linearly aligned in grades 1 ­ 8, upon entering the high school curriculum they begin to merge and overlap. This complexity increases at every grade. 7
