Big Ideas Concrete items can be represented, compared, and interpreted pictorially in graphs. Mathematics 2 No CCG
Keyword: graphs Elaboration: Data and Probability: Analyzing data and chance enables us to compare and interpret.Sample questions to support inquiry with students:When you look at this graph, what do you notice? What do you wonder?How do graphs help us understand data?What are some different ways to represent data pictorially?
Big Ideas Objects and shapes have attributes that can be described, measured, and compared. Mathematics 2 No CCG
Keyword: attributes Elaboration: Geometry and Measurement: We can describe, measure, and compare spatial relationships.Sample questions to support inquiry with students:What 2D shapes live in objects in our world?How can you combine shapes to make new shapes?
Big Ideas The regular change in increasing patterns can be identified and used to make generalizations. Mathematics 2 No CCG
Keyword: patterns Elaboration: Patterning: We use patterns to represent identified regularities and to make generalizations.Sample questions to support inquiry with students:How can we represent patterns in different ways/modes?How can you create repeating patterns with objects that are all one colour?What stories live in patterns?
Big Ideas Development of computational fluency in addition and subtraction with numbers to 100 requires an understanding of place value. Mathematics 2 No CCG
Keyword: fluency Elaboration: Computational Fluency: Computational fluency develops from a strong sense of number.Sample questions to support inquiry with students:What is the relationship between addition and subtraction?How can you use addition to help you subtract?How does understanding 10 help us to add and subtract two-digit numbers?
Big Ideas Numbers to 100 represent quantities that can be decomposed into 10s and 1s. Mathematics 2 No CCG
Keyword: Numbers Elaboration: Number: Number represents and describes quantity.Sample questions to support inquiry with students:How does understanding 5 or 10 help us think about other numbers?What is the relationship between 10s and 1s?What patterns do you notice in numbers?What stories live in numbers?How do numbers help us communicate and think about place?How do numbers help us communicate and think about ourselves?
Content financial literacy — coin combinations to 100 cents, and spending and saving Mathematics 2 No CCG
Keyword: financial literacy Elaboration: counting simple mixed combinations of coins to 100 centsintroduction to the concepts of spending and saving, integrating the concepts of wants and needsrole-playing financial transactions (e.g., using bills and coins)
Content likelihood of familiar life events, using comparative language Mathematics 2 No CCG
Keyword: familiar life events Elaboration: using comparative language (e.g., certain, uncertain; more, less, or equally likely)
Content pictorial representation of concrete graphs, using one-to-one correspondence Mathematics 2 No CCG
Keyword: pictorial representation Elaboration: collecting data, creating a concrete graph, and representing the graph, using a pictorial representation through grids, stamps, drawingsone-to-one correspondence
Content multiple attributes of 2D shapes and 3D objects Mathematics 2 No CCG
Keyword: 2D shapes and 3D objects Elaboration: sorting 2D shapes and 3D objects, using two attributes, and explaining the sorting ruledescribing, comparing, and constructing 2D shapes, including triangles, squares, rectangles, circlesidentifying 2D shapes as part of 3D objectsusing traditional northwest coast First Peoples shapes (ovoids, U, split U, and local art shapes) reflected in the natural environment
Content direct linear measurement, introducing standard metric units Mathematics 2 No CCG
Keyword: direct linear measurement Elaboration: centimetres and metresestimating lengthmeasuring and recording length, height, and width, using standard units
Content symbolic representation of equality and inequality Mathematics 2 No CCG
Keyword: Elaboration:
Content change in quantity, using pictorial and symbolic representation Mathematics 2 No CCG
Keyword: change in quantity Elaboration: numerically describing a change in quantity (e.g., for 6 + n = 10, visualize the change in quantity by using ten-frames, hundred charts, etc.)
Content repeating and increasing patterns Mathematics 2 No CCG
Keyword: patterns Elaboration: exploring more complex repeating patterns (e.g., positional patterns, circular patterns)identifying the core of repeating patterns (e.g., the pattern of the pattern that repeats over and over)increasing patterns using manipulatives, sounds, actions, and numbers (0 to 100)Métis finger weavingFirst Peoples head/armband patterningonline video and text: Small Number Counts to 100 (mathcatcher.irmacs.sfu.ca/story/small-number-counts-100)
