C. Algebra
Overall Expectations
By the end of this course, students will:
C1. Algebraic Expressions and Equations: demonstrate an understanding of the development and use of algebraic concepts and of their connection to numbers, using various tools and representations
C2. Coding: apply coding skills to represent mathematical concepts and relationships dynamically, and to solve problems, in algebra and across the other strands
C3. Application of Relations: represent and compare linear and non-linear relations that model real-life situations, and use these representations to make predictions
C4. Characteristics of Relations: demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics of various representations of linear and non-linear relations, using tools, including coding when appropriate

Examples
• stories that students may share involving algebraic concepts: o use of variables:
▪ Today, symbols like x and y are used to represent unknown quantities (variables). In a similar way, a scroll of hieroglyphics from ancient Egypt (1650 BCE) shows the use of a symbol to represent an unknown value called a “heap” or a “quantity”.
o patterns and binary code:
