Grade 9 Mathematics Syllabus

Instructor: Colby Kunzli


Email: [email protected]

Course Framework:
The Mathematics Program of Study is composed of four integral
strands: Numbers; Patterns and Relations; Shape and Space; and
Statistics and Probability. The grade 9 curriculum has portions from all four of these strands and
builds a strong balance between mental mathematics. written work, and the use of technology.
Concepts will be developed concretely, pictorially, and symbolically. In addition to grade 9 being
a Provincial Achievement Testing year, the course will also be taught within one semester,
with the PAT being held in January. With the course being taught within one semester it is key
to for students to remain vigilant in their homework and to keep well organized within the shorter
time frame.

Course Content:
The course will cover the following objectives:
NUMBERS
Powers with Integral Bases
Operations with Powers
Rational Numbers
Order of Operations
Square Roots
Square Roots of Non-perfect Squares
Patterns and Relations
Linear Patterns
Graphing Linear Relations
Solving Problems with Linear Equations
Solving Single Variable Inequalities
Understanding Polynomials
Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
Multiplying and Dividing Polynomials
Shape and Space
Circle Properties (angles, chords, tangents)
Surface Area of Composite 3-D Objects
Similarity in Polygons
Scale Diagrams of 2-D Shapes
Line and Rotation Symmetry
Statistics and Probability

Factors Affecting Data Collections


Using Population or Sample to Collect Date
Develop a Project Plan for Data Collection
Probability in Society

These outcomes are organized into natural units within the different chapters of the required
textbook for the course, and will follow the general sequence that it provides

Resources and Supplies:


The required resource for this course is the Mathlinks 9 textbook by McGraw-Hill Ryerson.
Following this students will require the following materials:
Notebook/Binder with loose-leaf Paper
Pens/Pencils
Scientific Calculator - a calculator with trigonometric functions is required, and
iPods/iPhones will not be allowed due to communication abilities
Geometry Set
Graph Paper

Assessment and Evaluation:


For student mastery of the concepts and skills that are covered in the course, it is important for
students to complete all assigned work. While not all assigned work will be evaluated as part of
the students final mark, the skills that students master from this practice will greatly help them
on Quizzes, Projects, Unit Exams, and the PAT. There will be quizzes throughout the different
chapters, along with a Unit/Chapter Exam following each chapter.

Quizzes, Assignments, Projects

40%

Unit/Chapter Exams

40%

PAT Final Exam

20%
Total:

100%

Student Expectations:

Students are expected to attend classes regularly and punctually. When the bell rings
the students should be at the desks and ready to begin class
Students are expected to bring all necessary resources each day to class (includes
textbook, notebook, pens/pencils, calculator. etc.)
If class is missed, students are responsible for all work that was covered during that
timeframe

If students are absent the day of a test, or when an assignment is due, the parents or
guardians must notify the teacher. It is then the responsibility of the student to arrange to
write any missed tests and hand in assignments
As mentioned above completing assigned work is important to the course, and if the
work is not complete during class time, students will need to complete it as homework.
On average, students should expect about thirty minutes of homework each day.
Students who are having difficulty keeping up or understanding the material should
contact the teacher and arrange for extra help, either during lunch or other times.
