JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL MATHEMATICS


Mathematics 9

Strands: 
  • NUMBER
                Develop number sense.
  • PATTERNS AND RELATIONS
                Use patterns to describe the world and to solve problems.
                Variables and Equations
  • SHAPE AND SPACE
                Measurement
                3-D objects and 2-D shapes
                Transformations
  • STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY
                Collect, display and analyze data
                Experimental or theoretical probabilities

​At the end of this course, your teen will write a provincial achievement test (PAT). These tests determine if students across the province are learning what they are expected to learn. For more information about provincial achievement tests, please visit the webpage.
