Aim and Goals of K-12 Mathematics
The aim of the mathematics program is to prepare individuals who
value mathematics and appreciate its role in society. The K-12
mathematics curricula are designed to prepare students to cope
confidently and competently with everyday situations that demand the
use of mathematical concepts including interpreting quantitative
information, estimating, performing calculations mentally, measuring,
understanding spatial relationships, and problem solving. The

2002, p. 1) foundational to understanding mathematics as a discipline. These
processes and strategies include:
• inductive and deductive thinking
• abstracting and generalizing
• exploring, identifying, and describing patterns
• verifying and proving
• exploring, identifying, and describing relationships
• modeling and representing (concretely, visually, physically, and
symbolically)
• hypothesizing and asking “what if” (mathematical play).

Number Sense: Develop an understanding of the meaning of,
relationships between, properties of, roles of, and representations
(including symbolic) of numbers and apply this understanding to new
situations and problems.

Key to developing number sense is students having ongoing
experience with:
• decomposing and composing of numbers
• relating different operations to each other
• modeling and representing numbers and operations (concretely,
visually, physically, and symbolically)

• understanding the origins and need for different types of numbers
• recognizing operations on different number types as being the
same operations
• understanding equality and inequality
• recognizing the variety of roles for numbers
• understanding algebraic representations and manipulations in
terms of extending numbers
• looking for patterns and ways to describe those patterns
numerically and algebraically.

mathematics within an environment that:
• supports risk taking (mathematically and personally)
• honours students’ ideas
• provides engaging and responsive learning experiences.

Students who have a positive attitude towards mathematics
demonstrate:
• confidence in their mathematical insights and abilities
• enjoyment, curiousity, and perseverance when encountering new
problems
• appreciation of the structure and value of mathematics.

There are many “real-world” applications of the mathematics within
the K-12 Mathematics curricula. The curriculum content first and

foremost serves as the vehicle through which students can achieve the
four goals of K-12 mathematics in Saskatchewan. Mathematically
confident students apply mathematical knowledge to new situations
and to solve problems.

Connections to Broad Areas of Learning
There are three Broad Areas of Learning that reflect Saskatchewan’s
Goals of Education.

Building a Disposition for Learning

Students engaged in constructing and applying mathematical
knowledge in an authentic learning environment, which includes a
variety of experiences and contexts, build a positive disposition for
Mathematics learning. In mathematics, an environment that supports risk taking

school, and
community. Building a Sense of Self and Community

Exploring mathematics in a collaborative learning environment, rich
in dialogue, provides opportunities for students to strengthen
connections with others. When students work together to explore,
negotiate, reflect, and construct personal strategies, students achieve a
deeper understanding of mathematics. As well, students experience
different points of view and learn to value diversity of perspectives
and ways of knowing. In such an environment, students learn and
come to value personal understandings, accomplishments, and
contributions. As a member of a group, each student contributes to
the learning community and social climate of the classroom.

Building Engaged Citizens

Co-planning the learning environment empowers students to
communicate and make decisions about learning. It also enables
students to contribute to the social harmony of the learning
community. Mathematical exploration and analysis brings a unique
perspective and way of learning to view and construct one’s
understanding of the world through a mathematical lens. Such
processes also help students develop a greater respect for and

understanding of how different points of views and options can
strengthen thinking and potential options. Students become engaged
citizens, who solve problems and make personal decisions regarding
their roles and contributions to the world.

Connections to Cross-curricular Competencies
There are four cross-curricular competencies that together contribute
to an individual student’s development within the four Broad Areas of
Learning. These competencies are synthesized from the Common
Essential Learnings. It is important, therefore, that the learning of
mathematics also supports the students in their attainment of these
competencies.

and constructed world. students to appreciate their role in the planning, organizing, and
management of the learning environment.

Developing Literacy

Students develop mathematical literacy by representing their
environment through words, numbers, music, and drama. Students
explore and use a variety of representations for mathematical
concepts. Using auditory, visual, and symbolic representations as
well as concrete manipulatives and physical movement, deepens
students’ understanding of mathematics and allows them to
communicate understandings.

Social Responsibility

When engaged in the co-construction of mathematical knowledge,
students are respectful when understanding and considering others’
ideas, perspectives, suggestions, and contributions. Students become
aware of the possibility of more than one solution to a problem or
situation, and they learn to work with others to negotiate solutions to
problems in the school, the community, and the world. When
working in a group exploring mathematical problems, students learn
to negotiate to resolve conflicts.

patterning. Students are also very creative when representing number
and shape with their bodies. All four of the Arts Education strands
can be used as contexts to help students represent, interpret, and make
sense of mathematical ideas.

well for teaching mathematics. These strategies need to focus on
listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, and representing.

In grade one, students are beginning to explore the concepts of
addition and subtraction. Number stories add context and are
meaningful for students. For most young students 2 + 5 = has no
meaning; however, many students will be able to make sense of the
symbols when used in a number story. Retelling number stories helps
students deepen understanding of numbers. Counting and pattern
books also help students make connections to prior knowledge and
deepen understanding of numbers and their interrelationships.
Referring to the English language arts outcomes is very important
when planning the learning environment for Grade 1 mathematics.

healthy behaviours. When exploring food choices, students can sort

static discipline. counting experiences. Interactive, hands-on activities in mathematics
provide meaningful opportunities to explore healthy relationships in
health as well by providing an authentic environment in which
students can express feelings, wants, and needs through collaborating
and negotiating.

Physical Education – There are many possibilities to make
connections with mathematics in Grade 1 physical education. An
exercise circuit is an effective context for viewing numbers and
counting. Students move from one station to the other in different
ways. When students arrive at the station, they “read” visuals that
provide instructions for that station. These visuals show the number
and kind of movement to be done by the students such as jumping,
moving objects, or holding one’s balance while counting. The
children can also represent numbers up to 20 by following
instructions such as “Make groups of 3 people”. Mathematics can
also be included in directions such as: “Find a partner, now add two
more people to your group, and walk as far as you can counting
twelve steps. Now count backwards as you walk back four steps”.
Making groups, in an engaging environment, deepens students’
understanding that sometimes it is not possible to make equal
groupings. This is a foundational understanding related to place value
and division. In addition, involving the students in the distribution of
equipment such as scarves and skipping ropes provides an opportunity
for students to explore one-to-one correspondence. Gym equipment,
such as balls, can be used to provide meaningful opportunities for
students to explore shapes, sort objects, and compare sizes.

Science – In the science units Properties of Objects, and Needs and
Characteristics of Living Things, students observe and compare
objects and organisms. These activities can include measurement as a
process of comparing. Students can also replicate 3-D objects and
identify 2-D shapes found on the objects. In addition, students can
order the objects or characteristics of living organisms and develop
the language of comparison through discussions. To develop a good
understanding of the concept of measurement as a comparison,
students must experience measurement and comparison through the
five senses. By doing so, students develop an understanding of the
attributes that can be measured and develop the language that is
appropriate for comparing. The students can feel the mass and see the

8

size. These two science units also provide interesting contexts for
sorting activities.

In the Daily and Seasonal Changes unit, students measure and record
temperatures. At this age, students can calculate differences in
temperature when the temperatures are above zero or positive
numbers. When investigating seasonal cycles, students can explore
repeating patterns and represent these in a variety of ways.

Social Studies – Students make sense of number when it is in context
and when the context is relevant. Self, family, and community
provide such contexts for number stories. Students can identify
numbers and begin to understand the role of number in our society as
students walk through their communities. Numbers can be used to
name objects such as house numbers. Sometimes numbers can imply
an order (i.e., on mailboxes or in community sports events where
ordinal numbers such as first, second, and third are used). Social
Studies also provides many contexts that allow students to investigate
and develop an understanding of quantity.

Critical Characteristics of Mathematics Education
The content of K-12 Mathematics can be organized in a variety of
ways. In this document, the outcomes and indicators are grouped
according to four strands: Number, Patterns and Relations, Shape
and Space, and Statistics and Probability. Although this
organization implies a relation between the outcomes identified in
each of the strands, it should be noted the mathematical concepts are
interrelated between strands as well as within strands.

The outcomes in K-12 mathematics should be addressed through the

carefully in their planning those processes indicated as being
important to the various outcomes.

or to real-world phenomena, students begin to view mathematics as
useful, relevant, and integrated.

Learning mathematics within contexts and making connections
relevant to learners can validate past experiences, and increase student
willingness to participate and be actively engaged.

The brain is constantly looking for and making connections.
“Because the learner is constantly searching for connections on many
levels, educators need to orchestrate the experiences from which
learners extract understanding …. Brain research establishes and
confirms that multiple complex and concrete experiences are essential
for meaningful learning and teaching” (Caine and Caine, 1991, p.5).

problem, it is not problem solving, but rote practice. A true problem
requires students to use prior learnings in new ways and contexts.

11

Problem solving requires and builds depth of conceptual
understanding and student engagement.

Problem solving is a powerful teaching tool that fosters multiple and
creative solutions. Creating an environment where students openly
look for and engage in finding a variety of strategies for solving
problems empowers students to explore alternatives and develops
confidence, reasoning, and mathematical creativity.

Reasoning [R]

and make sense of
mathematics. Mathematical experiences in and out of the classroom provide
opportunities for inductive and deductive reasoning. Inductive
reasoning occurs when students explore and record results, analyze
observations, make generalizations from patterns, and test these
generalizations. Deductive reasoning occurs when students reach new
conclusions based upon what is already known or assumed to be true.

Visualization (V)

Visualization is Visualization “involves thinking in pictures and images, and the

use of concrete visual-spatial world” (Armstrong, 1993, p.10). The use of
materials, technology, visualization in the study of mathematics provides students with
and a variety of visual opportunities to understand mathematical concepts and make
representations. connections among them.

Visual images and visual reasoning are important components of
number, spatial, and measurement sense. Number visualization
occurs when students create mental representations of numbers.

Being able to create, interpret, and describe a visual representation is
part of spatial sense and spatial reasoning. Spatial visualization and
reasoning enable students to describe the relationships among and
between 3-D objects and 2-D shapes.

Visualization is fostered through the use of concrete materials,
technology, and a variety of visual representations.

Technology contributes to a learning environment in which the
growing curiosity of students can lead to rich mathematical
discoveries at all grade levels. It is important for students to
understand and appreciate the appropriate use of technology in a
mathematics classroom.

Appendix A: Terminology
Attributes: Characteristics of 2-D shapes and 3-D objects that can be used to compare and sort
sets of 2-D shapes and 3-D objects (e.g., colour, relative size, number of corners, number of lines
of symmetry).

Benchmarks: Numeric quantities used to compare and order other numeric quantities. For
example, 0, 5, 10, and 20 are often used as benchmarks when placing whole numbers on a
number line.

Familiar Arrangements: Arrangements of objects or pictures that do not need to be counted to
determine the quantity such as on dice, cards, and bowling pins. Some documents refer to this as
subitizing (instantly seeing how many). This is a visual process in which the quantity is known
instantly rather than moving eyes from one object to the other.

Correspondence (one-to-one): A correspondence is a description of how one set of numbers (or
objects) is mapped to a second set of objects. For example, a correspondence might describe
how individual students can sit in a given number of chairs. One-to-one correspondence can also
be used to determine if there are enough, too many or just the right number of apples in order for
each child to have exactly one apple.

Equality as a Balance and Inequality as Imbalance: The equal sign represents the idea of
equivalence. For many students it means do the question. For some students, the equal sign in
an expression such as 2 + 5 = means to add. When exploring equality and inequality by using
objects on a balance scale, students discover the relationships between and among the mass of
the objects. The equal sign in an equation is like a scale: both sides, left and right, must be the
same in order for the scale to stay in balance and the equation to be true. When the scale is
imbalanced, the equation is not true. Using 2 + 5 = , rather than simply 2 + 5 = helps students
understand that the equal sign (=) represents equality rather than “do the work” or “do the
question”.

Number, Numeral, Digit: A number is the name that we give to quantities. For example, there
are 7 days in a week, or I have three brothers – both seven and three are numbers in these
situations because they are defining a quantity. The symbolic representation of a number, such
as 287, is called the numeral. If 287 is not being used to define a quantity, we call it a numeral.

Numerals, as the symbolic representation of numbers, are made up of a series of digits. The
Hindu-Arabic number system that we use has ten digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. (Note:
sometimes students are confused between these digits and their finger digits – this is because
they count their fingers starting at one and get to ten rather than zero to nine). These digits are
also numerals and can be numbers (representing a quantity), but all numbers and all numerals are
combinations of digits. The placement of a digit in a number or numeral affects the place value
of the digit, and hence how much of the quantity that it represents. For example, in 326, the 2 is
contributing 20 to the total, while in 236 the 2 contributes 200 to the total quantity.

23

Personal Strategies: Personal strategies are strategies that the students have constructed and
understand. Outcomes and indicators that specify the use of personal strategies convey the
message that there is not a single procedure that is correct. Students should be encouraged to
explore, share, and make decisions about what strategies they will use in different contexts.
Development of personal strategies is an indicator of the attainment of deeper understanding.

Referents: A concrete representation of a quantity. For example, seeing what 25 beans in a
container looks like makes it possible to estimate the number of beans the same container will
hold when it is full of the same kind of beans. Compensation must be made if the container is
filled with smaller or larger beans than the referent or if the size or shape of the container is
changed.

Representations: Mathematical ideas can be represented and manipulated in a variety of forms
including concrete manipulatives, visual designs, sounds, physical movements, and symbolic
notations. Students need to have experiences in working with many different types of
representations, and in transferring and translating knowledge between the different forms of
representations.
