Scope and Sequence (by strand)
Geometry

The code in the column under the course of study refers to the Concept (capital letter) and the specific learning objective (number) under the Concept in that course of study.

For example, if the code C.6 appears in the 10 column under the course of study, this would indicate that it is in the Math 10 curriculum guide, the sixth learning objective in Concept C.

A in the Grade 9 column indicates this topic has been introduced in the middle level program.
