Grade Seven

Subject Mathematics
Course Name Mathematics 7
Core or Elective Core
Prerequisite Mathematics 6
Texts Nelson MathFocus 7
Course Outline In Mathematics 7, students will achieve mathematical success by utilizing all domains of learning through the following mathematical process:

  • Communicating in order to learn and express student understanding
  • Connecting mathematical ideas to other concepts in mathematics, to everyday experiences, or to other disciplines
  • Demonstrating fluency with mental mathematics and estimation
  • Developing and applying new mathematical knowledge through problem solving
  • Selecting and using technologies as tools for learning and solving problems
  • Developing visualization skills to assist in processing information, making connections, and solving problems.

Students will use these processes to study the following units:

  • Number Relationships
  • Fractions
  • Decimals
  • Percent
  • Measurement
  • Integers
  • 2-D Geometry

Statistics & Probability
Linear Relations & Equations (Algebra)
Suggested support material or extension reading
Exams Mid-Year & Final Exams worth 10% of grade
Major assignments and due dates Formative assessment such as quizzes, assignments & projects will be used throughout the year. Summative assessment such as Unit Tests will be given approximately every three weeks.
Fieldtrips Every effort is made to have students explore and experience Mathematics in the world around them so on-campus excursions will be utilized throughout the year. Professionals who use mathematics in their careers will also be invited to speak to students.

Subject Mathematics
Course Name Mathematics 9
Core or Elective Core
Prerequisite Mathematics 8
Texts Nelson MathFocus 9 & TBA Grade 10 Text
Course Outline In Mathematics 9, students will achieve mathematical success by utilizing all domains of learning through the following mathematical process:

  • Communicating in order to learn and express student understanding
  • Connecting mathematical ideas to other concepts in mathematics, to everyday experiences, or to other disciplines
  • Demonstrating fluency with mental mathematics and estimation
  • Developing and applying new mathematical knowledge through problem solving
  • Selecting and using technologies as tools for learning and solving problems
  • Developing visualization skills to assist in processing information, making connections, and solving problems.

Students will use these processes to study any remaining units from the Grade 9 curriculum and to complete all of the required components of the new Foundations of Mathematics & Pre-Calculus 10 curriculum. This curriculum focuses on solidifying fundamental mathematical concepts in preparation for students entering Calculus and Advanced Placement Mathematics courses in the following years.
