How will The Common Curriculum Framework (CCF) for Mathematics K-12 (Western Canadian Protocol for Collaboration in Basic Education) affect our Saskatchewan mathematics curriculums?
The Saskatchewan mathematics curricula K-12 were in the development phase when the Western Canadian Protocol was signed. Rather than disrupt the process in this province, it was decided to continue with the implementation of the provincial mathematics curriculum. As maintenance of provincial mathematics courses occurs and the CCF is revised, the two will become aligned further. It is estimated (1996) that the congruency between the CCF and Saskatchewan’s new Core Curriculum Mathematics is as follows: Elementary (95%), Middle (90%), Secondary (85%). Saskatchewan was well represented in the development of the CCF and in the evaluation of suitable resources to support it. Provincial courses and the CCF have the same philosophy. Other than the placement of a few concepts indifferent grades, the content is also the same. In the CCF, concepts related to integers are in Grade 7; in Saskatchewan, they are in Grades 7-9. Fraction concepts are also spread over Grades 7-9 in Saskatchewan and are
