York Region tutors reinforce essential Math skills that enable students to thrive in Grade 9 Mathematics (cc:MPM1D) and beyond.
There is a great deal of overlap between concepts taught in both Grade 8 and Grade 9 Mathematics. Where possible, our tutors strive to teach the Grade 9 math curriculum to our grade 8 students, thereby smoothing the transition to Grade 9 while still reinforcing foundational Grade 8 concepts.
Along the way, we assess and improve upon any outstanding deficiencies that were not remediated throughout elementary school, including (but not limited to) multiplying, dividing, measuring area and perimeter, rounding and ratios/proportions.
Representing and ordering rational numbers; representing numbers using exponential notation; solving multi-step problems involving whole numbers and decimals; multiplying and dividing fractions and integers; multiplying and dividing decimals by powers of ten; applying order of operations in expressions with brackets and exponents; solving problems involving percents to one decimal place and percents greater than 100; solving problems involving rates and proportions.
Converting between cubic centimeters and cubic metres and between millimeters and cubic centimeters; developing circumference and area relationships for a circle; developing and applying the formula for the volume of a cylinder; determining and applying surface-area relationships for cylinders.
Sorting quadrilaterals by geometric properties involving diagonals; constructing circles; investigating relationships among similar shapes; determining and applying angle relationships for parallel and intersecting lines; relating the numbers of faces, edges, and vertices of a polyhedron; determining and applying the Pythagorean relationship geometrically; plotting the image of a point on the coordinate plane after applying a transformation.
Representing the general term in a linear sequence, using one or more algebraic expressions; translating statements, using algebraic equations; finding the term number in a pattern algebraically when given any term; solving linear equations involving one variable terms with integer solutions using a “balance” model.
Collecting categorical, discrete, and continuous data; organizing data into intervals; displaying data using histograms and scatter plots; using measures of central tendency to compare sets of data; comparing two attributes using data management tools; comparing experimental and theoretical probabilities; calculating the probability of complementary events.
