Long Range Planning
Planning plays a critical role in the development of an effective mathematics program. The teacher is the best judge of students’ prior knowledge, learning, and cultural needs, and of the appropriate use of
available resources. Integrating the mathematical needs of students with curricular requirements calls for thoughtful decision-making, and such decision-making benefits from planning on a daily, monthly, and
yearly basis.
A Guide to Effective Instruction in Mathematics (K-6) Planning an effective mathematics program involves careful consideration of the following components:
● the content, knowledge and skills described by the Revised Ontario Mathematics Curriculum expectations; ● how students develop their understanding of mathematical concepts over time; ● the characteristics and educational needs of the students within the classroom; ● the reporting expectations of the Ministry of Education and Waterloo Region District School Board.
This sample long-range plan represents one possible outline of the sequence of instructional topics for the school year. In this sample long-range plan, approximate time allocations are suggested and should be modified to meet the needs of your students. The goal is to support students in learning, rather than “get through the program.” The best attempt has been made to order units in a logical progression. In order for students to gain a deep understanding of the mathematical ideas reflected in the curriculum expectations, the teaching of many skills and concepts can be addressed across the school year through activities such as math talks, number strings, math games, math warms-ups (e.g., counting routines), mini-lessons, integration of math in other subject areas, and literature with a math focus. Opportunities to revisit key concepts and skills can also be provided throughout the year to allow students to consolidate, practice and apply the learned skills and knowledge in different contexts. When using these sample plans, teachers are encouraged to make any adaptations that are indicated by the needs of their students. In addition, teachers are encouraged to look for opportunities to revisit key mathematical ideas across the school year, to deepen student understanding and to help ensure long-term retention. An effort has been made to incorporate activities and lessons from the following resources common to all WRDSB schools:
● Big Ideas from Dr. Small (4-8)
● Building Proportional Reasoning Across Grades and Math Strands, K-8 (Small)

The Comprehensive Approach to Mathematics Instruction
The following is an excerpt from the WRDSB Comprehensive Approach to Mathematics Instruction for Grades 1-8: In Waterloo Region District School Board, we believe that students have the capacity to understand mathematics and the role it plays in the world. Students confidently engage with mathematics in ways that meet their needs as critically thinking and contributing citizens. By working with educators, parents and community partners, we strive to ensure all students achieve mathematics success. This empowers our students to pursue, understand and apply mathematical reasoning in the world around them. Mathematical reasoning is at the heart of all learning experiences presented to students. This problem-based approach to math learning engages students in meaningful investigations and conversations focused on key mathematical ideas. To support student learning, educators use a comprehensive mathematics program comprised of three key instructional components:
1. Learning Through Problem Solving
Teachers use carefully sequenced problems, based on student learning needs, to develop mathematical concepts and procedures. Students make connections between prior learning and current mathematical explorations. Problems are explored using a three-part framework: activating, investigating, and consolidating student thinking.
2. Building Fluency from Conceptual Understanding
Teachers plan short, (approximately 15 minute), specific mini-lessons, based on student learning needs. Number Talks and other math mini-lessons are used with the whole class or with small groups to increase fluency with mental math strategies and flexibility with mathematical reasoning. Students are actively sharing and explaining their ideas, reasoning, and representations during these lessons.
3. Purposeful Practice
Teachers provide regular practice opportunities for students as they revisit key mathematical concepts. Through differentiated mathematical games, practice problems, mini-lessons, DreamBox, and home connections, students develop deep mathematical understanding and develop confidence and efficiency over time.
Across a cycle of learning , teachers use these three instructional components to meet identified student learning needs. Not all components will be addressed every day.

The Comprehensive Approach to Mathematics Instruction and the Process Expectations
The Ontario Mathematics Curriculum for Grades 1-8 outlines several mathematical processes that are “essential to the effective study of mathematics, [and] which students need to learn and apply throughout the year, regardless of the strand being studied. Teachers should ensure that students develop their ability to apply these processes in appropriate ways as they work towards meeting the expectations outlined in all the strands” (7). These processes (problem solving, reasoning and proving, reflecting, selecting tools and computational strategies, connecting, representing, and communicating) should be embedded throughout the study of mathematics and the implementation of the Comprehensive Approach to Mathematics Instruction, as described below:
WRDSB Grade 7 Sample Long-Range Plans, Revised June 2017 4
Grade 7 Mathematics: Year Overview
Foundational concepts should be revisited throughout the school year in order for students to achieve a strong conceptual understanding. This “recursive approach” to teaching and learning builds deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, encourages automaticity with basic facts, and develops flexibility in mathematical reasoning. Specific topics are best addressed on an ongoing basis across the school year. More information and a description of what this might look like can be found in the next section (see page 6). Recommended topics to revisit throughout the school year include the following:
● Number Fluency: (Integers, Order of Operations, Operations with Fractions, Decimals and Percents, Factors and Multiples, Place Value and Estimation) ● Proportional Reasoning (Rate, Ratio and Percent) ● Algebra (Connections between visual patterns, algebraic expressions and graphical representations) ● Effective Mathematical Oral, Visual and Written Communication
Teachers are encouraged to look for opportunities to revisit other key mathematical concepts across the school year to support students as they practice and consolidate their understanding in different contexts.
