Math 8 & Math 9



Group member (Julie, Sissi, Shan, and Alison's group)


From the prescribed learning outcomes of the curriculum guide, we found that some Math 8 learning outcomes are implemented as a transition and preparation for Math 9. For instance,  Math 8 explores perfect squares, square roots and approximating square root of numbers that are not perfect squares which facilitates as a foundation for extending the concepts of imperfect squares roots into irrational numbers.

Math 8 topics include:
  • Perfect squares and square roots
  • percentage, rates, ratio
  • multiplication and division of fractions, mixed numbers, and integers
  • linear equations
  • Pythagorean theorem
  • Surface area and formulas of right prisms and cylinders
  • top, front, and side view of 3-D object
  • tessellations
  • presentation of data
  • Independent events

Math 9 topics include:
  • Power
  • rational numbers
  • square root of positive rational numbers
  • graph of linear relations
  • interpolation and extrapolation
  • single variable linear inequalities
  • operations on polynomials
  • circle properties
  • surface area of composite 3-D objects
  • similarity of polygons
  • Scale diagrams of 2-D shapes
  • line and rotational symmetry
  • Data collection
  • population and sample data
  • project plan for collection, display, and analysis of data
  • probability in society
