In June of 2021, the Ministry of Education unveiled a new mathematics course that emphasizes real world applications and financial literacy. The new de-streamed Grade 9 Mathematics course (MTH1W) was implemented in September 2021. This course replaced Grade 9 Principles of Mathematics (MPM1D) andGrade 9 Applied Math (MFM1P).
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 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.
Prerequisite: None
