9 Math

An annual free online team math contest. Previous years contests are available on the site that could be used as challenge problems leading up to participation in the actual contest.

Caribou Math Contest - https://cariboutests.com/

The Caribou Mathematics Competition is a world wide online contest that is held six times throughout the school year. Each of these days, five contests are offered, one for each of the grade levels 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10 and 11/12 and each one in English, French and Persian.

Art of Problem Solving – AoPS has an online learning site called Alcumus (http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/alcumus ). Great problems as well as a community of learners.

CEMC Problems of the Week – CEMC has some great problems of the week (in both English and French at a variety of levels) at http://cemc.uwaterloo.ca/resources/potw.php

Communication plan

My name is Yan Desormeau and I will be leading your child through the Grade 9 Math curriculum.

Course Objective

I hope to encourage and motivate students to view the world through the eyes of Math, and to ensure a successful school year in meeting the grade-level outcomes.

Course Overview

The math program presents an opportunity to continue developing literacy in mathematics as an evolving combination of the math-related attitudes, skills, and knowledge. Students will improve upon abilities in inquiry, problem-solving, and decision-making, while acquiring a greater sense of math, as it impacts the world around them.

This year will further build upon students’ foundations in: number sense, number operations, patterns, measurement, geometry, data management and probability.

Homework/Assignments

· Homework provides students with the opportunity to practice the skills learned in class and to identify concepts they need help with. Mainly homework consists of unfinished classroom practice.

· Students should be prepared to be assessed on their practice at any time.

Extra-help

· Extra help is available any time we agree on.

Assessments

· Assessment and evaluation are an essential means by which students and teachers can communicate learning, while informing teacher instruction.

· Formative assessment of student progress will be ongoing and include both informal and formal assessments such as: observation, discussions, journals, mental math, check-ins, quizzes and mini-projects.

Marking Scheme

Assignments will be graded using a four point scale:

Level 4

In-depth knowledge and understanding of content and concepts. Able to extend the application of related skills.

Level 3+

Competent +

Level 3

Competent knowledge and understanding of content and concepts. Appropriate application of the related skills.

Level 2+

Developing +

Level 2

Developing knowledge and understanding of content and concepts. Developing in the application of the related skills.

Level 1+

Limited +

Level 1

Limited knowledge and understanding of content and concepts. Limited application of related skills.

· Any assessment may be sent home for parent signature.

· Missed assessments must be made up either by or at lunch, the first Thursday following their return.

Methods of Communication

Students

· My teacher web page is updated weekly and includes: links, a homework page, course events, and more.

· Email: students are encouraged to email me with questions and concerns at ydesormeau@gnspes.ca

Parents

5.1 Fractions/decimals/percents

In recent grades, students have learned how to convert between fractions, decimals and percents, mainly percentages between 1% and 100%. Now, we will also be using percents less than 1% and greater than 100%
