Les apprentissages essentiels communs. L'enseignement des mathématiques présente beaucoup d'occasions d'intégrer les apprentissages essentiels communs (AEC). Grâce à cette intégration, l'élève comprendra mieux la matière et aura une meilleure préparation pour ses études ultérieures jusqu'en 12e année et au-delà. La décision de se concentrer sur un ou plusieurs AEC dans une leçon relève des besoins et des capacités de chaque élève et des exigences de la matière. Dans une unité, chaque apprentissage essentiel commun doit être développé de façon optimale. Il est important d'intégrer les AEC de façon authentique. Certaines matières peuvent présenter l'occasion d'acquérir les connaissances, valeurs, habiletés et démarches de tous les apprentissages essentiels communs. Dans d'autres cas, la nature de la matière pourrait limiter l'exploitation d'un AEC particulier. 2, record 18, French, - apprentissage%20essentiel%20commun
