Grade 9 Mathematics

This course enables students to consolidate, and continue to develop, an understanding of mathematical concepts related to number sense and operations, algebra, measurement, geometry, data, probability, and financial literacy. Students will use mathematical processes, mathematical modelling, and coding to make sense of the mathematics they are learning and to apply their understanding to culturally responsive and relevant real-world situations. Students will continue to enhance their mathematical reasoning skills, including proportional reasoning, spatial reasoning, and algebraic reasoning, as they solve problems and communicate their thinking.

Grade 9 math is a compulsory credit required to earn the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

This course provides students who have experienced difficulties in previous mathematics courses an opportunity obtain sufficient background and skill development to prepare them for Grade 11 and 12 Workplace Preparation courses. Whenever possible, ideas will be presented in a realistic context providing students with an opportunity to explore, organize, interpret, and use mathematical models to solve problems. Technology and manipulative materials will be used wherever appropriate.

Locally Developed courses are appropriate for students with an Individual Education Plan (IEP) who have had their elementary math program modified.  Your grade 8 teacher can help advise whether MAT1LI is the correct level to start grade 9.
