GRADE 9

This course forms part of the TOPS program and covers all of the curriculum encountered in the Grade 9 Mathematics course, but includes advanced instruction and curricula that provides opportunity for early skill acquisition and an enriched learning experience overall.

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.
