ESSENTIAL GRADUATION LEARNINGS
Uncertainty
In mathematics, interpretations of data and the predictions made from 
data may lack certainty. 
Events and experiments generate statistical data that can be used to 
make predictions. It is important to recognize that these predictions 
(interpolations and extrapolations) are based upon patterns that have a 
degree of uncertainty.
The quality of the interpretation is directly related to the quality of 
the data. An awareness of uncertainty allows students to assess the 
reliability of data and data interpretation.
Chance addresses the predictability of the occurrence of an outcome. 
As students develop their understanding of probability, the language 
of mathematics becomes more specific and describes the degree of 
uncertainty more accurately.
Uncertainty is an inherent 
part of making predictions.
Essential graduation learnings are statements describing the knowledge, 
skills and attitudes expected of all students who graduate from high 
school. Essential graduation learnings are cross-curricular in nature 
and comprise different areas of learning: 
aesthetic expression, citizenship, 
communication, personal development, problem solving, technological 
competence 
and 
spiritual and moral development
.
Graduates will be able to respond with critical awareness to various forms of 
the arts and be able to express themselves through the arts.
Graduates will be able to assess social, cultural, economic and 
environmental interdependence in a local and global context.
Graduates will be able to use the listening, viewing, speaking, reading and 
writing modes of language(s) and mathematical and scientific concepts and 
symbols to think, learn and communicate effectively.
Graduates will be able to continue to learn and to pursue an active, healthy 
lifestyle.
Graduates will be able to use the strategies and processes needed to solve 
a wide variety of problems, including those requiring language and 
mathematical and scientific concepts.
