The Ontario mathematics curriculum must serve a number of purposes.<\/p>\n

It must engage all students in mathematics and equip them to thrive in a society where mathematics is increasingly relevant in the workplace. It must engage and motivate as broad a group of students as possible, because early abandonment of the study of mathematics cuts students off from many career paths and postsecondary options.<\/p>\n

The unprecedented changes that are taking place in today\u2019s world will profoundly affect the future of today\u2019s students. To meet the demands of the world in which they live, students will need to adapt to changing conditions and to learn independently. They will require the ability to use technology effectively and the skills for processing large amounts of quantitative information. Today\u2019s mathematics curriculum must prepare students for their future roles in society. It must equip them with an understanding of important mathematical ideas; essential mathematical knowledge and skills; skills of reasoning, problem solving, and communication; and, most importantly, the ability and the incentive to continue learning on their own. This curriculum provides a framework for accomplishing these goals.<\/p>\n
