Welcome to the Primary Mathematics program. Here you will find all the information and resources necessary for teaching mathematics from Kindergarten to Grade 6.
1. Program Overview
The Primary Mathematics program at Kativik Ilisarniliriniq (KI) is based on the Québec Education Program (QEP). The program emphasizes the development of structured mathematical thinking, including:
- manipulation and exploration,
- mathematical discussions,
- connections between concepts,
- the ability to represent and model,
- the use of a variety of tools (concrete materials, diagrams, technology).
2. Core Objectives of the Primary Mathematics Program
The objectives of the Primary Mathematics program are organized around three key disciplinary competencies and five mathematical strands.
2.1 Developing Three Disciplinary Competencies
- Solves a situational problem — using strategies, demonstrating creativity, and justifying reasoning.
- Uses mathematical reasoning — understanding, connecting, and applying mathematical concepts.
- Communicates by using mathematical language — representing, explaining, and justifying ideas with precision.
2.2 Developing Knowledge in Five Key Mathematical Strands
The progression of learning specifies the knowledge to be acquired from Grade 1 to Grade 6 in the following areas: (Add link)
- Arithmetic — number sense, operations, fractions, decimals
- Geometry — shapes, solids, spatial sense
- Measurement — lengths, masses, time, angles, perimeter, area
- Statistics — data collection, organization, and interpretation
- Probability — predictions, simple experiments
2.3 Competency-Based Assessment of Learning
Assessment is based on the Framework for the Evaluation of Learning of the Québec Education Program (QEP).
3. Planning by Grade Level
The KI Teacher’s Guide serves as a complementary tool to the annual planning. It provides a structured organization of content, learning situations, and pedagogical approaches to support mathematics instruction.
Annual learning planification:
GRADE 3
GRADE 4
GRADE 5
GRADE 6
4. Resources
Digital resources and pedagogical materials are made available to teachers through the Teams platform, DBServer, and Nunavik Ice. These resources are specifically designed to align with the local educational context, particularly by considering multi-grade classrooms and the challenges for students who are learning in a second language.

4.2 JUMP Math
JUMP Math teaching materials are based on a structured approach that combines instruction, guided practice, and ongoing assessment. This approach emphasizes short, clear, and sequenced explanations, which support the understanding of students learning in a second language.
JUMP Math resources can also be ordered through KI Printing services at: Printing.KSB@kativik.qc.ca
