Second Term Math Syllabus

Posted by Majida Saab in General, Grades 1 - 7 | 1 comment

The following units will be covered in the second semester according to each grade:

Grade 1:

Addition and Subtraction to 20

• First graders will be learning how to add and subtract numbers up till 20.  They will explore “doubles ” and solve simple addition and subtraction problems. Students will learn how to skip count by 2, 5, and 10 as well as grouping by these numbers.

Data Management and Probability:

In this unit, your child will be learning about making graphs and probability concepts such as: likely, unlikely, probably…..

Grade 1 students will be able to compare, sort, and organize objects into real-life graphs. Also they will learn how to read graphs and ask questions about the information on the graphs.

Grade 2:

Addition and Subtraction to 100

In this unit, your child will be learning about addition and subtraction of 2 and 3 digit numbers, and developing an algorithm for finding and recording solutions…

-The learning goals for this unit are:

• Model 2 digit numbers on a place value mat.
• Pose and solve number problems requiring addition or subtraction.
• Use the standard algorithm as one way to add and subtract 2 or 3 digit numbers.

Graphing – Students will learn to create a tally table and record information in pictographs and bar graphs using data. They will also learn how to compare and make predictions based on the data that they organized into graphs.

Geometry- Students will learn how to describe, compare, sort, and represent 3-D solids according to their attributes. They will be able to identify and name different 3-D objects, such as cubes, spheres, cylinders, prisms, and pyramids.

 

Grade 3:

Geometry- Students will learn how to identify and compare various polygons (triangles, pentagons, hexagons, octagons…) by their geometric properties. They will also be able to distinguish congruent two dimensional shapes.

Number Sense and Numeration – lessons will help students to learn how we multiply and divide 2 digit numbers by one digit using different strategies such as: arrays, algorithms, or equal groups.  Students will be able to estimate products and quotients.

Grade 4:

Geometry – student will be taught how to identify and compare different types of quadrilaterals such as: parallelogram, rectangle, square, trapezoid, and rhombus. They would also be able to sort and classify these polygons by their geometric properties (parallel sides, equal length, symmetry, number of right angles). Finally, students will learn how to identify angles (straight angle, right angle….).

Multiplication and Division - Students would be able to multiply and divide whole numbers by 2 and 3 digit numbers using different strategies such as (arrays, expanded forms or algorithms). They would also be capable of solving problems involving multiplication and division. Students will learn how to multiply and divide whole numbers by 10, 100, and1000.

 

Grade 5:

Geometry: – Students will be taught how to distinguish between polygons, regular polygons and other two dimensional shapes. Also they will be able to distinguish among prisms, pyramids, and other three dimensional figures. Students will be able to classify acute, right, obtuse, and straight angles and they will learn how to measure and construct angles up to 90 degrees or more using a protractor. Finally, students will learn how to construct triangles and identify different types such as: acute, obtuse, right, equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles.

Number Sense and Numeration: (Multiplication and Division with decimals) – Students will develop an understanding of operations involving multiplication and division with decimals. They will also learn how to multiply and divide decimal numbers by 10,100, 1000, etc…Students would be able to use estimation when solving problems involving the multiplication and division of decimal numbers.

 

Grade 6:

Geometry–:  Students will be taught how to sort and construct polygons according to the number of lines of symmetry. They will be able to measure and construct angles up to 180 degrees using a protractor , and classify them as acute, right , obtuse, and straight angles.

Number Sense and Numeration: (Multiplication and Division with decimals) –Students will develop an understanding of operations using multiplication and division of decimal numbers. They will be able to use estimation, algorithms and concrete materials to find out products and quotients.  Students will learn how to multiply and divide decimal numbers by 10, 1000, 10000, etc. Solving problems involving the multiplication and division of decimal numbers using a variety of strategies is emphasised throughout the chapters.

 

Grade 7:

Number Sense and Numeration Students will be introduced to integers. They will learn how to represent, order, add, and subtract integers using two colour counters, number lines and other tools. Students will also know how to compare integers found in real-life contexts (-10 is much colder than +3). Grade 7 students will learn how to create and evaluate expressions. They will learn how to solve equations by inspections and communicate a solution for an equation.

Geometry – Students will learn how to describe location in the four quadrants of coordinate system, dilatate two dimensional shapes, and apply transformations to create and analyse designs.
