Integrated Math Year 3 focuses on building skills in all five of the mathematics strandsNumber, Algebra, Geometry, Statistics and Probability, and Discrete Mathematics. It will
focus on building computation skills, problem solving strategies, improving communication
with a mathematical focus, and reflecting upon the findings. The course will stress the
essential role of mathematics within the school and in society: mathematics as a universal
language, promoting analytical reasoning and problem-solving skills that contribute to the
development of logical, abstract, and critical thinking. This course will help students view
mathematics as a language of modeling and solving problems that arise in the real world.
