Mathematics Course Description
The thrust of the Grades 9 and 10 Mathematics programs is towards the development of problem solving skills, the ability to communicate mathematical knowledge using various forms of representations, and skills in evaluating and justifying processes and results.
Grade 9
Grade 9 Mathematics offers a more detailed study of algebra concepts and applications, including functions and polynomial expressions. Set theory, notation, and operations will also be given more attention, with applications in probability. Concepts in geometry and statistics learned in previous grades are also extended.
Grade 10
Grade 10 Mathematics builds on the knowledge and skills attained in Grade 9 to tackle more complex functions, including quadratic, exponential, and composite functions. An in-depth study is made on matrices and operations with emphasis on their applications in solving systems of equations and representing geometric transformations. A more formal proof-based approach to geometry is also introduced.
