Secondary Mathematics Education Curriculum Developments: Reflecting on Canadian Trends
Florence Glanfield
I recently attended a professional meeting where a conversation focused on the potential changes in the Western and Northern Canadian Protocol (WNCP) secondary mathematics curriculum. The suggestion was made that Alberta drop its applied mathematics courses in favour of returning to the Mathematics 10-20-30, Mathematics 13-23-33 and Mathematics 14-24 programs of the early 1990s. I was saddened to hear this conversation.
