Grade 7 Mathematics

The Ontario Grade 7 Mathematics course has six strands. The museum maps parts of three of them: Number, Algebra and Spatial Sense; it maps nothing in the strands on social-emotional skills, Data and Financial Literacy.

Draft: these lessons were written with AI help and have not yet been read by a human editor.

Strand B: Number
