Math 8-9

Pathways in Mathematics K - 12

Parents and students are encouraged to preview post secondary program requirements as it pertains to the future goals of individual students.  Post Secondary prerequisites will impact ones pathway in Mathematics. 

*Certain trades require additional theoretical education in Mathematics and may require students to take the Foundations/Pre-Calculus pathway. Check with a school counselor or the TNT coordinator for details regarding which math is required for a particular trade

Math 8 | MMA--08

Students will use the following skills: reasoning, analyzing, understanding, solving, communicating, representing, connecting and reflecting to understand the following big ideas in Math 8:

• number represents, describes, and compares the quantities of ratios, rates, and percentages.

• computational fluency and flexibility extend to operations with fractions.

• discrete linear relationships can be represented in many connected ways and used to identify and make generalizations.

• the relationship between surface area and volume of 3D objects can be used to describe, measure, and compare spatial relationships.

• analyzing data by determining averages is one way to make sense of large data sets and enables us to compare and interpret.

This is a mandatory course as outlined by BC's Curriculum. 

Students will require pencils, erasers, lined paper, graph paper, and a scientific calculator.

Math 9 | MMA--09

Students will use reasoning, analyzing, understanding, solving, communicating, representing, connecting and reflecting to understand the following big ideas that will be covered in Math 9:

• the principles and processes underlying operations with numbers and apply equally to algebraic situation and can be described and analyzed.

• computational fluency and flexibility with numbers extend to operations with rational numbers.

• continuous linear relationships can be identified and represented in many connected ways to identify regularities and make generalizations.

• similar shapes have proportional relationships that can be described, measured, and compared.

• analyzing the validity, reliability, and representation of data enables us to compare and interpret.

This is a mandatory course as outlined by BC's Curriculum. 

Students will require pencils, erasers, lined paper, graph paper, and a scientific calculator.
