Toronto teachers work within the Ontario Curriculum and a provincial assessment program run by EQAO. These are the points we plan around when we choose resources for the city.
| Curriculum framework | The Ontario Curriculum: the Kindergarten program, Grades 1–8 and Grades 9–12 |
|---|---|
| Authorities | Ontario Ministry of Education (curriculum); Education Quality and Accountability Office, EQAO (provincial assessments) |
| Grade names | Kindergarten over two years (often called JK and SK), then Grades 1–12; elementary runs K to Grade 8, secondary Grades 9–12 |
| Key assessments | EQAO reading, writing and math in Grades 3 and 6; EQAO Grade 9 math; the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) in Grade 10 |
| Main school system | Toronto District School Board (TDSB), with 579 schools; it describes itself as Canada's largest school board |
| Timely change | From 2026–27, a financial literacy test inside Grade 10 Career Studies is a diploma requirement for students who began Grade 9 in 2025–26 or later |
| Local teaching hook | In the 2021 Census, 46.6% of City of Toronto residents were immigrants; TDSB families speak over 100 languages |
We picked these eight units for the mix of subjects Toronto teachers ask about most: English learners, early grammar, everyday math, coding and personal finance. Each one arrives as a digital download you can print or use on screen.
Students compare traditional literary genres with newer forms such as podcasts, graphic novels, interactive fiction and digital storytelling, and look at how each medium changes meaning, interpretation and audience engagement. The sequence starts with classical literature.
Students work through five worksheets of rising difficulty, from key terms to push and pull factors, multicultural societies, and integration versus assimilation. Answer keys, a 7-slide colour presentation and a step-by-step lesson plan are included.
Four years of vocabulary work in one bundle: 24 themed sets, six per grade, with word and picture cards, matching and fill-in-the-blank tasks, speaking and writing prompts, and take-home mini booklets for practice.
Students build the idea of a percent as one hundredth, then practise base value, percentage value and percentage rate before moving to interest. Five differentiated worksheets, answer keys, a 7-slide presentation and a lesson plan.
Students draw up a household budget, then study bank accounts, means of payment, overdrafts and interest, and finish by questioning advertising and instalment purchases. Five worksheets with answer keys, slides and a detailed lesson plan.
A beginner coding unit that moves from print, variables and input to if statements and loops, then a mini-project. Worksheets come on four levels (Basic, Standard, Plus and Project), with slides and a reading text.
Students learn what AI is, how machine learning works, and where its limits and bias lie. The unit uses worksheets on four levels, a reading text and slides, so mixed classes can work at the right depth.
A short grammar pack for Grade 3: lessons on common and proper nouns, personal and possessive pronouns, sentence building with subject-verb agreement, and punctuation practice. Includes an answer key, for print or digital use.
Browse the collections behind these units. Each one groups resources by subject and level, so you can find the next unit once the first one is done.
Use these suggestions to extend your planning. Local examples and activities below are teaching ideas to add, rather than a list of files included in every product.
Before a vocabulary unit, ask students to share how they say ten everyday words at home, such as apple, bus or friend. Build a class chart with English next to each home language. It starts the Vocabulary Trainer sets on familiar ground and shows students that their first language is an asset.
Give Grade 10 students a fictional monthly income from a part-time job and ask them to cover a transit pass, a phone plan, food out and savings. Use the budgeting worksheets from the financial literacy unit, then compare plans and discuss which costs were hardest to cut.
After the Python unit's loop lessons, ask students to write a short program that counts down the minutes until the next bus or streetcar, using a number they enter. Stronger coders can add an if statement that prints a warning when the wait is longer than ten minutes.
TeachLessons guarantees alignment with the Ontario Curriculum. This guarantee covers the subjects, learning objectives and levels stated in each product description.
No. TeachLessons is an independent publisher and has no affiliation with the Toronto District School Board, the Ontario Ministry of Education or EQAO. Teachers choose our resources themselves and decide how they fit their own planning and school policies.
They can support the skills EQAO assesses, such as reading, writing and math in Grades 3 and 6, and math in Grade 9, but they are not practice tests. Use them for regular teaching and review, and use EQAO's own released materials for test format practice.
Start with the grade range listed on each product card, then read the learning objectives in the product description. Many units include differentiated worksheets, so one unit can cover a mixed class. For newcomers, you may use a unit listed for a lower grade to match language level.
Every resource is an instant digital download. Most include printable worksheets and slides you can project, and many are editable, so you can change names, examples or tasks. You can print them for paper-based lessons or share them in your digital classroom.
Yes. The units are written for general classroom use, so local links come from you. Toronto examples work well: transit fares in a budgeting task, the languages of your students in vocabulary work, or local neighbourhood stories in a unit on migration.
Pick the unit that fills the biggest gap in your planning, teach it once, and adjust it for your class. When you are ready for more, the subject collections above hold the next steps for ESL, coding and financial literacy.
