CURRICULUM GUIDE
About the British Columbia Math Curriculum
How the BC Curriculum Works
BC's math curriculum is set provincially and structured around Big Ideas, Curricular Competencies, and Content, giving teachers flexibility while keeping outcomes consistent across the province.
How British Columbia Differs
BC introduced its redesigned curriculum in 2016, organizing math around conceptual Big Ideas rather than a strictly procedural scope, setting it apart from older outcomes-based frameworks used in some other provinces.
How British Columbia Math Progresses
Students move from number sense in Kindergarten through algebraic reasoning in Grade 9, then choose between Foundations and Pre-Calculus pathways leading to Calculus 12 or Statistics 12.
How British Columbia Assesses Math
The Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) tests numeracy in Grades 4 and 7, with Graduation Numeracy Assessments supporting post-secondary readiness in the senior years.
