TVO Learn is designed to meet each student where they are on their learning journey. Learning Activities are comprehensive and require guided instruction from an adult, while Resources for Learning, Apply the Learning prompts and Vocabulary lists work well to reinforce specific skills or to enable independent exploration of a subject. Use these helpful tips to get the most from TVO Learn.
How to Use These Resources
Curriculum Overview
Throughout this grade, in order to promote a positive identity as a math learner, to foster well-being and the ability to learn, build resilience, and thrive, students will apply, to the best of their ability, a variety of social-emotional learning skills to support their use of the mathematical processes and their learning in connection with the expectations in the other five strands of the mathematics curriculum.
Students practise critical and creative thinking. For example, in financial literacy, as students are learning to break down different denominations of money and select different tools and strategies such as making lists of different money combinations, drawing pictures of different groupings and using manipulatives to break down amounts in different ways.
The expectations in the mathematics curriculum are organized into six distinct but related strands:
- Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Skills in Mathematics and the Mathematical Processes
- Number
- Algebra
- Data
- Spatial Sense
- Financial Literacy

Apply the Learning
Choose from the following to consolidate learning across all curriculum strands.
- Create your own definitions for 20 of the words in the vocabulary list.
- Measure items around your home with a family member using a non-standard object (like your shoe). Ask another person in your home to do the same measurements. Compare your answers. Now measure your height using your shoe as a unit of measurement. Do you both get the same answer?
- Describe an activity you can do that will take 1 hour (60 minutes). Now select an activity that will take 1 minute (60 seconds). What activity can you do in 1 second?
- How many coins do you need to total $2.15? Draw the coins that you would need. Draw the solution in 2 different ways.
- Record the number of animals you see outside each day and record your answers in a tally chart.
- Collect 100 items (cards, marbles). Create as many different groups as possible (e.g., two groups of fifty or ten groups of ten).
- Through investigation, describe the probability that an event will occur, (e.g., getting heads or tails when tossing a coin). Use mathematical language to describe your investigation, for example, getting a heads or tails when tossing a coin is certain, getting a head is possible, getting a tail is possible. If tossing 2 coins, getting two heads is possible, getting two tails is possible, getting one head and one tail is possible, getting heads or tails is certain, etc.
