What is EQAO? How do I prepare for it?
What is EQAO? How do I prepare for it?
The Assessment of Mathematics (EQAO) is a standardized, online multiple choice test of the mathematics knowledge and skills students are expected to have learned by the end of their Grade 9 mathematics course. Every student writes EQAO towards the end of their Grade 9 math class and this accounts for 10% of their final mark.
EQAO-aligned tools and content are integrated directly into daily lessons. Rather than treating this assessment as a separate event, we view it as a natural extension of our curriculum. We ensure that our students are not only prepared for the assessments but also have a deeper, more lasting understanding of the skills they are learning.
If you're looking for resources, check out the BHNmath website.
