MATH 9 COURSES
Mathematics 9
Course Code: MMA–09
This course is designed to consolidate and extend topics introduced in the middle school years. Topics include operations with rational numbers, square roots and exponents, polynomials and algebra, linear equations, linear relations, financial literacy and statistics. At the end of this course, students will be prepared for Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 OR Workplace Mathematics 10.
Mathematics 9 Bridge
Course Code: MMA–09A
Math 9 Bridge is a semester-one skill-building course to assist students who struggle with computation skills and key math concepts including fractions, place value, rational numbers. After successful completion, students will be prepared to take Mathematics 9 in semester two.
Mathematics 9 Honours
Course Code: MMA–09H
Enrollment in Math 9 Honours is limited. This course is specifically designed for students with a strong aptitude and enthusiasm for math. This course follows the same curriculum as Math 9, but also includes a significant enrichment component. Assignments and projects will differ from a regular Math 9 class, and will help deepen their understanding of the topics being covered. Honours students are encouraged to participate in Math Contests, and are expected to maintain a high standard of academic achievement. Successful completion of this course will prepare students for Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 Honours and/or Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10.
Mathematics 9 STEAM ENRICHED
Course Code: MMA—9ST
This STEAM enriched math course is designed to engage students in real world, hands-on, collaborative learning while mastering core arithmetic, algebraic and graphing math topics introduced in the middle school years. Students are encouraged to take thoughtful risks, engage in experiential learning, persist in problem-solving while covering the BC curriculum topics. Topics include operations with rational numbers, square roots and exponents, polynomials and algebra, linear equations, linear relations, financial literacy and statistics. Upon successful completion of this course, students may go on to take Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 STEAM OR Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10.
