Mathematics Comparison Study Companion Database = Base de Donnees Accompagnant L'Etude Comparative Portant sur les Mathematiques.

This companion database to the Mathematics Comparison Study consists of the entire set of all the general and specific outcomes that were referenced in the report. The database is being released in response to requests made during the review of the draft document in June, 1999, for more information. In the main report, only codings for the general and specific outcomes are shown. However, in the Appendices to the main report, the complete text for all the general and specific outcomes is provided. The Western Canadian Protocol (WCP) outcomes were used as a starting point for the study. Outcomes unique to individual regions were included, even though there was no match found to those of the WCP. Each specific outcome used in the study, from all regions, was assigned a code and then entered into the database. General outcome and specific outcome codes in the appendices of the main report are those codes provided by the individual regions themselves. These, in turn, have been cross-referenced in the database and matched, where applicable, to those of the comparison study. The database is being released alphabetically, by substrand as defined by the WCP-chance and uncertainty data analysis measurement, number concepts, number operations patterns, relations and functions, 3-D objects and 2-D shapes transformations, and variables and equations.
