About the codes

The 2007 document prints the strand letters — its headings read “A. Characteristics of Functions” and so on — and numbers each strand’s overall expectations 1., 2., 3. and its specific expectations 1.1, 1.2, …. What it does not print is the combined form: codes like A1 and B2.3, used throughout this site, join the printed letter to the printed number in the style teachers and course outlines commonly use. They are consistent within this site, but you will not find the combined codes printed in the Ministry’s pages.

Two small honesty notes about the reproduction:

  • The heading for group A3 (Determining Equivalent Algebraic Expressions) carries a printed footnote: “The knowledge and skills described in the expectations in this section are to be introduced as needed, and applied and consolidated, as appropriate, in solving problems throughout the course.”
  • The sample problem in C2.3 is printed beside a diagram (a staircase pattern of grey and white linking cubes) that cannot be reproduced as text; a bracketed note marks its place. The mathematics is typeset (stacked fractions, radical bars, true superscripts) the way the document prints it, using LaTeX — wording untouched.

Each page keeps its code, and every lesson, exploration, and task in this course links back to the codes it addresses. The codes are also tags, so every page tagged #A3 can be gathered in one place.

Why the codes matter more than they look

A code is a shared address. When a student asks “why are we doing this?”, the answer is a link. When a department writes a course outline, or a teacher takes over a class partway through, the codes are what make one person’s planning legible to another.
