Course Description
The program aims to equip Grade 9 students with a solid mathematical foundation, enabling them to enter high school with confidence and exceptional analytical thinking skills. We go beyond teaching formulas—our aim is to help students understand underlying concepts, solve problems, and model real-world and academic situations using the language of mathematics.
Grade 9 marks a pivotal transition from learning “computational skills” to developing true “mathematical thinking.” Through a curriculum designed in alignment with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), students engage in in-depth study of algebra, functions, spatial geometry, and data analysis—all connected to real-life applications and scientific fields.
Grade 9 Math is not only a stepping stone to advanced subjects such as calculus and statistics, but also a tool for students to think critically, reason logically, and approach problems systematically—skills essential for success in any future career.
🔹 Learning Content
-
Expressions and Equations
Students review and advance their skills in manipulating algebraic expressions, solving linear and quadratic equations, systems of equations, and inequalities—including equations with parameters and domain restrictions. -
Linear and Nonlinear Functions
Master the concepts of linear and quadratic functions, and learn to represent them using tables, graphs, formulas, and verbal descriptions. Begin exploring exponential and power functions from an application-oriented perspective. -
Geometry and Spatial Reasoning
Deepen understanding of plane and solid geometry, including triangles, circles, polygons, and solids. Apply the Pythagorean theorem, angle theorems, properties of altitudes and medians, and geometric transformations. -
Statistics and Data Interpretation
Collect, represent, and analyze data using charts, frequency tables, mean, median, and variance. Students are introduced basic probability, uniform distributions, and conditional probability. -
Problem Solving with Real-World Contexts
Apply mathematical knowledge to solve real-life problems in areas such as personal finance, spatial planning, trend analysis, and performance evaluation (e.g., cost optimization, event probability).
