PREFACE
Since making financial decisions has become an increasingly complex task in the modern world, people need to have knowledge in various areas and a wide range of skills in order to make informed decisions about financial matters. They need to be aware of risks that accompany various financial choices. They also need not only to develop an understanding of world economic forces, but also to become aware of ways in which they themselves can respond to those influences and make informed choices. It is therefore essential that financial literacy be considered an important attribute of a well-educated population so that Ontarians may continue to prosper in the future. It is in this context that the Ministry of Education is emphasizing the importance of ensuring that Ontario students have the opportunity to improve their financial literacy. Financial literacy may be defined as having the knowledge and skills needed to make responsible economic and financial decisions with competence and confidence.1 In addition to acquiring knowledge in such specific areas as saving, spending, borrowing, and investing, students need to develop skills in problem solving, inquiry, decision making, critical thinking, and critical literacy related to financial issues. The goal is to help students acquire the knowledge and skills that will enable them to understand and respond to complex issues regarding their own personal finances and the finances of their families, as well as to develop an understanding of local and global effects of world economic forces and the social, environmental, and ethical implications of their own choices as consumers. This Scope and Sequence resource document is designed to assist teachers in achieving this goal by highlighting opportunities that already exist to help students acquire skills and knowledge related to financial literacy in each discipline in Grades 9 to 12. The Ministry of Education is working to embed financial literacy expectations and opportunities in all subjects in Grades 4 to 8 and all disciplines in Grades 9 to 12 in the Ontario curriculum, as appropriate, as part of the ongoing curriculum review process. This document will be updated regularly to reflect changes related to financial literacy in revised curriculum policy documents that have come into effect. Some disciplines, by virtue of their content, are more closely linked to the development of skills and knowledge related to financial literacy than others, but all disciplines provide opportunities to make connections to financial literacy to some extent. This document identifies both the expectations that are connected explicitly with aspects of financial literacy and those that can provide opportunities for teachers and students to make connections to financial topics or issues in various ways. Brief explanations of such opportunities are provided in the introductory paragraph(s) for various disciplines, where necessary.

The expectations listed in this resource document are taken from the current Ontario curriculum policy documents for Grades 9 and 10 and Grades 11 and 12 in the following disciplines: the arts business studies Canadian and world studies classical studies and international languages computer studies English English as a second language and English literacy development French as a second language guidance and career education health and physical education interdisciplinary studies mathematics Native languages Native studies science social sciences and humanities technological education
The date of publication of each of the documents represented is given in the heading at the start of the section for each discipline. The disciplines are organized alphabetically in the document, and expectations are presented under the name of the strand within which they appear in the curriculum policy document. (Examples and teacher prompts are included only if they have a connection to financial and economic considerations.) Expectations are cited in the way in which they appear in the various documents. For example, the overall and specific expectations from recently revised documents are identified using the numbering system that is used in the particular document (e.g., 1, 1.1, 1.2, or A1, A1.1, A1.2). Expectations from older documents are identified as follows: for overall expectations for specific expectations Expectations that are related to one another (e.g., an overall expectation and its corresponding specific expectations; several specific expectations from the same subsection) are grouped wherever possible. Subheadings from the curriculum document are used where necessary to indicate that expectations are from separate sections in the same strand. For the purposes of this document, the text that normally precedes the expectations By the end of this course, students will has been omitted.

THE ARTS, GRADES 9 AND 10 (2010) AND GRADES 11 AND 12 (2010)

See the Preface for important information on the organization of the following material. All courses in the arts curriculum require students to identify and explore arts-related careers and postsecondary pathways in which their interests and skills in the arts can be applied. Such career exploration relates directly to financial literacy, as students consider the ways in which their financial needs can be met by pursuing careers connected to their interests, skills, and aptitudes. Connections to financial literacy can be made throughout all arts courses, in which students are expected to develop skills related to reflecting, responding, and self-awareness. These skills are transferable and can also be applied in contexts involving financial considerations.

Principles of Mathematics, Grade 9, Academic (MPM1D)

Linear Relations Understanding Characteristics of Linear Relations demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics of a linear relation construct tables of values, graphs, and equations, using a variety of tools (e.g., graphing calculators, spreadsheets, graphing software, paper and pencil), to represent linear relations derived from descriptions of realistic situations (Sample problem: Construct a table of values, a graph, and an equation to represent a monthly cellphone plan that costs $25, plus $0.10 per minute of airtime.) compare the properties of direct variation and partial variation in applications, and identify the initial value (e.g., for a relation described in words, or represented as a graph or an equation) (Sample problem: Yoga costs $20 for registration, plus $8 per class. Tai chi costs $12 per class. Which situation represents a direct variation, and which represents a partial variation? For each relation, what is the initial value? Explain your answers.) Connecting Various Representations of Linear Relations describe the effects on a linear graph and make the corresponding changes to the linear equation when the conditions of the situation they represent are varied (e.g., given a partial variation graph and an equation representing the cost of producing a yearbook, describe how the graph changes if the cost per book is altered, describe how the graph changes if the fixed costs are altered, and make the corresponding changes to the equation) Analytic Geometry Investigating the Properties of Slope determine, through investigation, connections among the representations of a constant rate of change of a linear relation (e.g., the cost of producing a book of photographs is $50, plus $5 per book, so an equation is C = 50 + 5p; a table of values provides the first difference of 5; the rate of change has a value of 5, which is also the slope of the corresponding line; and 5 is the coefficient of the independent variable, p, in this equation)
123
Using the Properties of Linear Relations to Solve Problems describe the meaning of the slope and y-intercept for a linear relation arising from a realistic situation (e.g., the cost to rent the community gym is $40 per evening, plus $2 per person for equipment rental; the vertical intercept, 40, represents the $40 cost of renting the gym; the value of the rate of change, 2, represents the $2 cost per person), and describe a situation that could be modelled by a given linear equation (e.g., the linear equation M = 50 + 6d could model the mass of a shipping package, including 50 g for the packaging material, plus 6 g per flyer added to the package) identify and explain any restrictions on the variables in a linear relation arising from a realistic situation (e.g., in the relation C = 50 + 25n, C is the cost of holding a party in a hall and n is the number of guests; n is restricted to whole numbers of 100 or less, because of the size of the hall, and C is consequently restricted to $50 to $2550) determine graphically the point of intersection of two linear relations, and interpret the intersection point in the context of an application (Sample problem: A video rental company has two monthly plans. Plan A charges a flat fee of $30 for unlimited rentals; Plan B charges $9, plus $3 per video. Use a graphical model to determine the conditions under which you should choose Plan A or Plan B.)
Foundations of Mathematics, Grade 9 Applied (MFM1P)

Number Sense and Algebra Solving Problems Involving Proportional Reasoning make comparisons using unit rates (e.g., if 500 mL of juice costs $2.29, the unit rate is 0.458/mL; this unit rate is less than for 750 mL of juice at $3.59, which has a unit rate of 0.479/mL) solve problems involving ratios, rates, and directly proportional relationships in various contexts (e.g., currency conversions, scale drawings, measurement), using a variety of methods (e.g., using algebraic reasoning, equivalent ratios, a constant of proportionality; ) (Sample problem: Simple interest is directly proportional to the amount invested. If Luis invests $84 for one year and earns $1.26 in interest, how much would he earn in interest if he invested $235 for one year?) solve problems requiring the expression of percents, fractions, and decimals in their equivalent forms (e.g., calculating simple interest and sales tax; analysing data) Linear Relations Determining Characteristics of Linear Relations construct tables of values and graphs, using a variety of tools (e.g., graphing calculators, spreadsheets, graphing software, paper and pencil), to represent linear relations derived from descriptions of realistic situations (Sample problem: Construct a table of values and a graph to represent a monthly cell phone plan that costs $25, plus $0.10 per minute of airtime.)
124
Investigating Constant Rate of Change determine, through investigation, connections among the representations of a constant rate of change of a linear relation (e.g., the cost of producing a book of photographs is $50, plus $5 per book, so an equation is C = 50 + 5p; a table of values provides the first difference of 5; the rate of change has a value of 5; and 5 is the coefficient of the independent variable, p, in this equation) compare the properties of direct variation and partial variation in applications, and identify the initial value (e.g., for a relation described in words, or represented as a graph or an equation) (Sample problem: Yoga costs $20 for registration, plus $8 per class. Tai chi costs $12 per class. Which situation represents a direct variation, and which represents a partial variation? For each relation, what is the initial value? Explain your answers.) describe the meaning of the rate of change and the initial value for a linear relation arising from a realistic situation (e.g., the cost to rent the community gym is $40 per evening, plus $2 per person for equipment rental; the vertical intercept, 40, represents the $40 cost of renting the gym; the value of the rate of change, 2, represents the $2 cost per person), and describe a situation that could be modelled by a given linear equation (e.g., the linear equation M = 50 + 6d could model the mass of a shipping package, including 50 g for the packaging material, plus 6 g per flyer added to the package) Connecting Various Representations of Linear Relations and Solving Problems Using the Representations describe the effects on a linear graph and make the corresponding changes to the linear equation when the conditions of the situation they represent are varied (e.g., given a partial variation graph and an equation representing the cost of producing a yearbook, describe how the graph changes if the cost per book is altered, describe how the graph changes if the fixed costs are altered, and make the corresponding changes to the equation) determine graphically the point of intersection of two linear relations, and interpret the intersection point in the context of an application (Sample problem: A video rental company has two monthly plans. Plan A charges a flat fee of $30 for unlimited rentals; Plan B charges $9, plus $3 per video. Use a graphical model to determine the conditions under which you should choose Plan A or Plan B.) select a topic involving a two-variable relationship (e.g., the amount of your pay cheque and the number of hours you work; trends in sports salaries over time; ), pose a question on the topic, collect data to answer the question, and present its solution using appropriate representations of the data (Sample problem: Individually or in a small group, collect data on the cost compared to the capacity of computer hard drives. Present the data numerically, graphically, and [if linear] algebraically. Describe the results and any trends orally or by making a poster display or by using presentation software.)

If poured concrete costs $110 per cubic yard, how much does it cost to pour a concrete driveway requiring 6 pads?) Modelling Linear Relations Solving and Interpreting Systems of Linear Equations solve problems that arise from realistic situations described in words or represented by given linear systems of two equations involving two variables, by choosing an appropriate algebraic or graphical method (Sample problem: Maria has been hired by Company A with an annual salary, S dollars, given by S = 32 500 + 500a, where a represents the number of years she has been employed by this company. Ruth has been hired by Company B with an annual salary, S dollars, given by S = 28 000 + 1000a, where a represents the number of years she has been employed by that company.

SCIENCE, GRADES 9 AND 10 (2008) AND GRADES 11 AND 12 (2008)

See the Preface for important information on the organization of the following material. All courses in the science curriculum require students to identify and explore science-related careers and postsecondary pathways in which their interests and skills can be applied. Such career exploration relates directly to financial literacy, as students consider the ways in which their financial needs can be met by pursuing careers connected to their interests, skills, and aptitudes. Connections can also be made to financial literacy in many of the expectations in the science curriculum relating science to technology, society, and the environment. In addressing these expectations, students explore the costs and benefits of various science-related technologies and, in so doing, address the financial considerations involved.

As local sites fill up, some municipalities are shipping their garbage to distant sites. This strategy is often politically unpopular and, with high fuel prices, is increasingly expensive, so local politicians are under pressure to implement new strategies. Sample questions: What are the costs of recycling compared to the costs of using landfill sites or incinerating garbage? Why is garbage incineration a controversial political issue? ... F. Conservation of Energy F1. Relating Science to Technology, Society, and the Environment F1. assess the impact on society and the environment of the use of various renewable and non-renewable energy sources, and propose a plan to reduce energy consumption F1.1 evaluate the impact on the environment of renewable and non-renewable energy sources, and propose an environmentally friendly solution to reduce non-renewable energy consumption (e.g., a plan for broader use of hybrid cars or solar panels) [AI, C] Sample issue: In some remote areas that are off the electrical grid, generators that run on fossil fuels are used to generate electricity. However, these devices are inefficient, and they produce carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming, and noise pollution. Sample questions: ... How can the use of ethanol reduce the amount of petroleum needed to run cars?
