GSCS STUDENTS
The K-12 Mathematics program is designed to prepare students to cope confidently and competently with everyday situations that demand the use of mathematical concepts including interpreting quantitative information, estimating, performing mental calculations, measuring, understanding spatial relationships, and problem solving. The Math program is intended to stimulate the spirit of inquiry within the context of mathematical thinking and reasoning.
The outcomes in Grade 9 Mathematics build upon students' prior learnings and continue to develop their number sense, spatial sense, logical thinking, and understanding of mathematics as a human endeavour. These learnings prepare students to be confident, flexible, and capable with their mathematical knowledge in new contexts.
Within the Greater Saskatoon Catholic School Division the Career Ed. component of the grade 9 program is completed within the grade 9 mathematics course. In Cyber School students will complete those modules while in the Math 90B portion of the course. Students will be given separate marks for Math 90A, Math 90B and Career Education.
The Math 90 course is divided into 2 parts.
MATH 90A (75 days)
Unit 1 – Powers and Exponent Laws (15 days)
Unit 2 - Rational Numbers (15 days)
Unit 3 - Polynomials (15 days)
Unit 4 - Linear Equations and Inequalities (15 days)
Unit 5 - Linear Relations (15 days)
MATH 90B/Career Education (students will receive separate marks for Math 90B and Career Ed.) (75 days)
Unit 6 - Square Roots and Surface Area (15 days)
Introduction – Career Ed. (3 days)
Unit 7 - Similarity and Transformations (15 days)
Module 1 – Career Ed. (7 days)
Unit 8 - Circle Geometry (10 days)
Module 2 – Career Ed. (7 days)
Unit 9 - Probability and Statistics (10 days)
Module 3 – Career Ed. (8 days)
OUT OF DIVISION STUDENTS
The aim of the K-12 Mathematics program is to prepare individuals who value mathematics and appreciate its role in society. The K-12 Mathematics curricula are designed to prepare students to cope confidently and competently with everyday situations that demand the use of mathematical concepts including interpreting quantitative information, estimating, performing calculations mentally, measuring, understanding spatial relationships, and problem solving. The Mathematics program is intended to stimulate the spirit of inquiry within the context of mathematical thinking and reasoning.
The outcomes in Grade 9 Mathematics build upon students' prior learnings and continue to develop their number sense, spatial sense, logical thinking, and understanding of mathematics as a human endeavour. These continuing learnings prepare students to be confident, flexible, and capable with their mathematical knowledge in new contexts.
