Elementary mathematics

Elementary mathematics consists of mathematics topics frequently taught at the primary or secondary school levels. Elementary mathematics consists of mathematics topics frequently taught at the primary or secondary school levels. There are five basic strands in Elementary Mathematics: Number Sense and Numeration, Measurement, Geometry & Spatial Sense, Patterning & Algebra, and Data Management & Probability. These five strands are the focus of Mathematics education from grade one till grade 8. In secondary school, the main topics in elementary mathematics from grade nine until grade ten are: Number Sense and algebra, Linear Relations, Measurement and Geometry. Once students enter grade eleven and twelve students begin university and college preparation classes, which include: Functions, Calculus & Vectors, Advanced Functions, and Data Management. Number Sense is an understanding of numbers and operations. In the number sense and numeration strand students develop an understanding of numbers by being taught various ways of representing numbers, as well as the relationships among numbers. Properties of the natural numbers such as divisibility and the distribution of prime numbers, are studied in basic number theory, another part of elementary mathematics.
