G9 Mathematics
Course Description
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.
Overall Expectations
By the end of this course, students will:
A. Social-Emotional Learning Skills
| A1 | develop and explore a variety of social-emotional learning skills in a context that supports and reflects this learning in connection with the expectations across all other strands |
| A2 | Mathematical Thinking and Making Connections |
| A3 | Mathematical Processes: apply the mathematical processes to develop a conceptual understanding of, and procedural fluency with, the mathematics they are learning |
B. Number
| B1 | Development of Numbers and Number Sets: demonstrate an understanding of the development and use of numbers, and make connections between sets of numbers |
| B2 | Powers: represent numbers in various ways, evaluate powers, and simplify expressions by using the relationships between powers and their exponents |
| B3 | Number Sense and Operations: apply an understanding of rational numbers, ratios, rates, percentages, and proportions, in various mathematical contexts, and to solve problems |
C. Algebra
| C1 | Algebraic Expressions and Equations: demonstrate an understanding of the development and use of algebraic concepts and of their connection to numbers, using various tools and representations |
| C2 | Coding: apply coding skills to represent mathematical concepts and relationships dynamically, and to solve problems, in algebra and across the other strands |
| C3 | Application of Relations: represent and compare linear and non-linear relations that model real-life situations, and use these representations to make predictions |
| C4 | Characteristics of Relations: demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics of various representations of linear and non-linear relations, using tools, including coding when appropriate |
D. Data
| D1 | Collection, Representation, and Analysis of Data: describe the collection and use of data, and represent and analyse data involving one and two variables |
| D2 | Mathematical Modelling: apply the process of mathematical modelling, using data and mathematical concepts from other strands, to represent, analyse, make predictions, and provide insight into real-life situations |
E. Geometry and Measurement
| E1 | Geometric and Measurement Relationships: demonstrate an understanding of the development and use of geometric and measurement relationships, and apply these relationships to solve problems, including problems involving real-life situations |
F. Financial Literacy
| F1 | Financial Decisions: demonstrate the knowledge and skills needed to make informed financial decisions |

Diagnostic assessment is used at the beginning of a unit to assist in determining a starting point for instruction. Assessments for Learning and as Learning (AFL & AAL) provide information to students as they are learning and refining their skills. Assessment of Learning (AOL), at the end of units and course, provides students with the opportunity to synthesize/apply/demonstrate their learning and the achievement of the expectations. The course also provides the students with a variety of ways to demonstrate their knowledge through the so-called Triangulation Assessments, which may assess students through Observation and/or Conversation (i.e. Oral Presentations or Student Interviews), as well as Student Products. The AOLs are posted at the end of each unit.
There are four levels of achievement for students who are passing the course:
- Level 1 (50-59%)
- Level 2 (60-69%)
- Level 3 (70-79%)
- Level 4 (80-100%)
Level 3 is the provincial standard for student achievement.
The final grade will include the following weighting:
| Knowledge/Understanding | Thinking/Inquiry | Communication | Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 | 25 | 25 | 25 |
Seventy percent (70%) of the grade will be based on evaluation conducted throughout the course. The final evaluation will take into account the student’s most recent and most consistent performance.
Thirty percent (30%) of the grade will be based on a final evaluation consisting of the final examination and the independent study unit, which will take into account the entire course, including the student’s most recent and most consistent performance.
The evaluation for this course is based on the student’s achievement of curriculum expectations and the demonstrated skills required for effective learning. Final percentage grade represents the quality of the student’s overall achievement of the expectations for the course and reflects the corresponding level of achievement as described in the achievement chart for the discipline.
Proctoring
• The tests are typically a paper-pen evaluation written at a mutually agreed time, date, and location. The tests will be proctored, meaning a suitable adult with a dedicated identifiable and authentic email address will supervise you in writing the tests. This process ensures the security and integrity of the test. Any person related or affiliated with the student in a personal way cannot serve as a test supervisor.
Resources required by the student
- A scanner, smartphone camera, or similar device to upload handwritten or hand-drawn work
- A front-facing camera on a desktop, laptop, or mobile device to allow for proctoring over the internet
- Internet access and a modern standards-compliant web browser
The tuition for this course is $800 for Canadian students and $2000 for international students.
Refunds
Maple Leaf School does not issue refunds. When a student enrolls in our course, MLS administration team undertakes many tasks including establishing electronic/physical files, assigning teachers and tracking the enrolment for Ministry purposes, etc. The work is completed by our school the moment you register online.
