CURRICULUM GUIDE

About Canadian math standards

How Canadian math standards work

There is no single national math curriculum in Canada. Each province adopts its own framework, setting the topics, outcomes, and grade placement independently.

How provincial frameworks differ

Provinces differ in when topics are introduced and how they are sequenced. Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario each organize their programs of study around different outcome structures.

How math progresses through school

From elementary through high school, math moves from number sense and operations to algebra, geometry, and data. In high school, courses shift from grade-numbered to named, such as Pre-Calculus or Foundations of Mathematics.

Where math gets assessed

Provincial assessments test math at key grades in elementary and middle school. Provincial diploma exams measure achievement in senior math courses before graduation.
