This is 9th grade math. Pre-calculus maybe as an advanced course. Algebra and Geometry mostly.
NO> There are no advanced math course now. Destreaming means you do the hard stuff and the easy stuff to pass. However if you mean advanced as higher grade level sure, but that confusing with the general/advance course thing being around just a year ago.

Woke education?
Education for kids should be illegal. We can get fully educated 18 year olds as immigrants, training Canadians is a waste of money. Immigrants are lining up to come to Canada, children are last years model and should be banned. Having children is leftist nut bar thinking,

and yes 2+2 does not equal 4

My bad. I was thinking of the American system with things like AP classes and the like. Forgot all about the whole "stream" thing in Ontario.
As you say, that's been scrapped in Grade 9 anyway now.

But it turns out the document linked in the OP has the list of subjects anyway. (No calculus.)

Strand A: Mathematical Thinking and Making Connections
Mathematical processes
Making connections
Strand B: Number
Development and use of numbers
Number sets
Powers
Rational numbers
Applications
Strand C: Algebra
Development and use of algebra
Algebraic expressions and equations
Coding
Application of linear and non-linear relations
Characteristics of linear and non-linear relations
Strand D: Data
Application of data
Representation and analysis of data
Application of mathematical modelling
Process of mathematical modelling
Strand E: Geometry and Measurement
Geometric and measurement relationships
Strand F: Financial Literacy
Financial decisions

Exactly. And I should not have said "pass" as so far only Alberta allows failures in Canada after an appeal. The lowest grade is a pass in Ontario.

..... you're not very good at math or critical thinking if you didn't realize 1x+2=7 is literally a construct and could be represented an infinite amount of ways. The end result would be the same, but it would be unrecognizable to someone taught this particular construct.

Math is functional, so in societies that function differently from ours, math will too. I tutored math and teaching math more practically by applying it to a situation like grocery shopping was very helpful for some kids. Poor kids do algebra all day trying to figure out what they can and can't get with their money to make sure their necessities are met, they just don't realize it.

I think teaching kids the origins of our math style is amazing, I consistently asked my teachers "but why" and never got an answer until post secondary.

I seen a Canadian born mother with young kids in a shelter, can’t get rent because nobody will rent to her because fear of not being able to evict
Actually, she will complain to the "rent police" and the landlord will be forced to rent to her. If she is unable to pay her rent later, that is the landlord's problem.

For anyone blaming those pesky lefties, just want to remind you that this is coming from Ontario’s current Conservative govt lead by Doug Ford.

this govt promised (b4 pandemic) to revise the math program which had been changed to a discovery methodology which had resulted in Ont falling behind other jurisdictions like Quebec.

Dougie wears this one.

Still trying to figure out what people are so against.
Is it Algebra? Coding? Financial literacy?
Which of these is "woke" and therefore supposed to not be taught?

People are against some toxic divisive ideologies being forced down kids throats while being taught math. Based on my kids experience I can see the changes they have made to the way math is being taught which is already confusing the fuck out of students already and parents. When parents teach these kids math how we used to be taught math they understand and do better vs. class average. So you already have a weak ass curriculum and now you add forcing/programming/indoctrinating toxic ideologies into the the mix.

So now on top of a weak math curriculum schools will be teaching and programming kids with racist divisive ideologies and cancel culture mindset.

What does this mean? It means when they go to university immigrants who have been taught math will excel and these kids especially underprivileged kids will struggle. It means kids who have parents who understand math and can teach them will excel or who can afford tutors and private schooling. Underprivileged and single moms and in poverty will suffer most. It’s already very hard as it is to get into university. The curriculum already said that they plan on making math and the way they teach it more subjective.

Can’t you see what’s happening? They are systematically separating the divide between classes even more while hurting underprivileged claiming this is helping them, is anti-racist and supports humanity. All it does it fabricated conditions for the opposite to occur especially hate, division through direct experience and reality.

It should all be objective the way it has been taught for the the past 70 year and now some self proclaimed wokist experts think they know what’s best for our kids. Experience with kids shows different. Don’t believe me ask any professional parent especially ones who rely on math for their profession what they think of the current curriculum. Many of them will say what I am saying that kids and even parents are getting confused and they need to teach them they way math used to be taught.

But let me guess they will fabricated numbers out of their ass using their wokist reasoning to justify this none sense and convince the enablers.

If math was not broke in the past why fix it? These guys are breaking it.

If you read all the posts all this was already mentioned by the ones against this form of fabricating wokism. This follows the patterns observed in the states especially university level and now is trickling down. Go see Yenomi Parks direct experience of this when she attended university in USA. They are bringing it here. They are normalizing this nonsense through systematic approaches and slowly eroding people’s ability to be free, think free, and forget a culture of inclusion, unity, and prosperity for a society. If you ask why would they do that? Ask why would Cuba and North Korea and China do that to their people? They believe this is the way and what they are doing is right. Now you guys keep enabling this and eventually will be convinced this is the way and it is the right thing to do while hurting the very things you and they claim you stand against.

What exactly was your kid taught that you didn't agree with?

Why can't you give an actual event of the toxic divisive ideologies?

Math should not come with any subjectivity or ideologies period. It is discovered not invented. It is true regardless of the bullshit ideas we have cooking up in our mind.

Any ideology that promotes tribalism division hate fear etc. is toxic an divisive.

We only belong to one tribe which is consciousness. Humanity is a sub tribe to this. So are different levels of animals and if aliens exist they would belong to this as well.

Everything else is divisive and promotes people to segregate themselves and develop toxic ideologies like they did with religion. It’s fine and beautiful as long as you are born within this system or country but if you are born outside beyond your choice you become an outsider.

The truth should be discovered regardless of the ideologies or parents or countries you are born in. If someone or something prevents you to discover the truth because of an idea it is not heathy and does not promote you to discover what is truth rather then having someone else do it for you.

With math once you understand first principles and see the tools available that were discovered you should be able to see how everything else is derived idea free and subjectivity free.

Theoretical mathematicians discover new and disprove old theories all the time. Math is not as objective and concrete as you're making it out to be.

This means that they just haven’t discovered it yet at its most fundamental form but are getting there collectively and have self correcting mechanism that filters out interpretation and subjectivity. A perfect example is quantum mechanics and there is a lot of disagreement here but they are slowly discovering its truth and eliminating interpretation and making huge progress every year. It always exits we just haven’t discovered it yet. At least they have managed to exploit its functionality for our benefit for the use of quantum computers and unbreakable security that can hopefully be used in the financial industry one day.

exactly but not in the sense you think.

Subjectivity puts it in a box, mind limits, wraps it and constrains it with ideas. Paradigm lock.

Objectivity frees it and let’s it be discovered for what it is regardless if it’s by people on the earth or others beings other worlds and galaxies if they exist within it’s fundamental constraints.

It’s there for anyone to discover and use it regardless of what you think. When you think then use it based on your ideology you limit it’s potential based on what your mind thinks it can achieve vs it’s actuality interpretation free.

of note, domestic homicides are invariably dominated by whites.
Afraid not. We underperform.

Of the murder victims for whom race was known, 54.7 percent were Black or African American, 42.3 percent were White, and 3.1 percent were of other races.
When the race of the offender was known, 55.9 percent were Black or African American, 41.1 percent were White, and 3.0 percent were of other races. The race was unknown for 4,752 offenders.

If we were to expect murder by cop to reflect actual killers instead of just non lethal violent crime actually the cops are very racist vs white people.

X=5 That is the only answer hat works.
As for your second point, a city kid should be able to answer how many acres a plot of land 10 rods by 10 rods is as long as those terms are defined. Because... math is universal.
The ability to see connections with previous skills should be expected and taught, to not do so is to hold students to too low of a standard.
