Junior High Classes

The main goals of mathematics education are to prepare students to:

• use mathematics confidently to solve problems
• communicate and reason mathematically
• appreciate and value mathematics
• commit themselves to lifelong learning
• become mathematically literate adults, using mathematics to contribute to society.

 At the completion of a program, students should have developed a positive attitude toward mathematics and have a base of knowledge and skills related to Number, Patterns and Relations, Shape and Space, and Statistics and Probability.

Science programs provide opportunities for students to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes that they need to explore interests and prepare for further education and careers.

The Goals of the Junior High Science are:

• encourage students at all grade levels to develop a critical sense of wonder and curiosity about scientific and technological endeavours
• enable students to use science and technology to acquire new knowledge and solve problems, so that they may improve the quality of their own lives and the lives of others
• prepare students to critically address science related societal, economic, ethical and environmental issu
• provide students with a foundation in science that creates opportunities for them to pursue progressively higher levels of study, prepares them for science-related occupations, and engages them in science-related hobbies appropriate to their interests and abilities
• enable students, of varying aptitudes and interests, to develop a knowledge of the wide spectrum of careers related to science, technology and the environment.
