Keyword: connected Elaboration: through daily activities, local and traditional practices, popular media and news events, cross-curricular integrationby posing and solving problems or asking questions about place, stories, and cultural practices
Curricular Competency Solve problems with persistence and a positive disposition Workplace Mathematics 10 Understanding and solving
Keyword: persistence and a positive disposition Elaboration: not giving up when facing a challengeproblem solving with vigour and determination
Curricular Competency Apply flexible and strategic approaches to solve problems Workplace Mathematics 10 Understanding and solving
Keyword: flexible and strategic approaches Elaboration: deciding which mathematical tools to use to solve a problemchoosing an effective strategy to solve a problem (e.g., guess and check, model, solve a simpler problem, use a chart, use diagrams, role-play)
Keyword: solve problems Elaboration: interpret a situation to identify a problemapply mathematics to solve the problemanalyze and evaluate the solution in terms of the initial contextrepeat this cycle until a solution makes sense
Curricular Competency Visualize to explore and illustrate mathematical concepts and relationships Workplace Mathematics 10 Understanding and solving
Keyword: Visualize Elaboration: create and use mental images to support understandingVisualization can be supported using dynamic materials (e.g., graphical relationships and simulations), concrete materials, drawings, and diagrams.
Curricular Competency Develop, demonstrate, and apply conceptual understanding of mathematical ideas through play, story, inquiry, and problem solving Workplace Mathematics 10 Understanding and solving
Keyword: inquiry Elaboration: includes structured, guided, and open inquirynoticing and wonderingdetermining what is needed to make sense of and solve problems
Curricular Competency Think creatively and with curiosity and wonder when exploring problems Workplace Mathematics 10 Reasoning and modelling
Keyword: Think creatively Elaboration: by being open to trying different strategiesrefers to creative and innovative mathematical thinking rather than to representing math in a creative way, such as through art or music
Keyword: curiosity and wonder Elaboration: asking questions to further understanding or to open other avenues of investigation
Curricular Competency Model with mathematics in situational contexts Workplace Mathematics 10 Reasoning and modelling
Keyword: Model Elaboration: use mathematical concepts and tools to solve problems and make decisions (e.g., in real-life and/or abstract scenarios)take a complex, essentially non-mathematical scenario and figure out what mathematical concepts and tools are needed to make sense of it
Keyword: situational contexts Elaboration: including real-life scenarios and open-ended challenges that connect mathematics with everyday life

Big Ideas The exploration of text and story deepens understanding of one’s identity, others, and the world. Writing 10 No CCG
Keyword: text Elaboration: any type of oral, written, visual, or digital expression or communication:Visual texts include gestural and spatial components (as in dance) as well as images (some examples are posters, photographs, paintings, carvings, totems, textiles, regalia, and masks).Digital texts include electronic forms of oral, written, and visual expression.Multimodal texts include any combination of oral, written, visual, and/or digital elements and can be delivered via different media or technologies (some examples are dramatic presentations, web pages, music videos, online presentations, graphic novels, and close-captioned films).
Keyword: story Elaboration: a narrative text that shares ideas about human nature, motivation, behaviour, and experience. Stories can record history, reflect a personal journey, or explore identity.
