Middle School Mathematics Course B extends students’ understanding of numbers and computation to include integers and proportional reasoning. All concepts and skills are presented in the context of problem solving that requires the use of reasoning and communication. Areas of focus include functional relationships, arithmetic and geometric sequences, geometric precision, and data analysis and representation using box and whisker plots, histograms, and scatter plots.

This course is for students who have completed the Kindergarten to Grade 5 mathematics curriculum as well as the indicators in Middle School Course A. Students in Middle School Mathematics Course B will go on to Middle School Mathematics Course C, Investigations into Mathematics, or Algebra 1 the following year.
