Grade 9 Foundations of Mathematics (ESL)
Back to course listingCourse Code: MFM1PS
General Information
This is a grade 9 course. This course is is a Mathematics course, and more information can be found at the Math, Business and Computer Science department. Prerequisites: None.
Course Description
This course enables students to develop understanding of mathematical concepts related to introductory algebra, proportional reasoning, and measurement and geometry through investigation, the effective use of technology, and hands-on activities. Students will investigate real-life examples to develop various representations of linear relationships, and will determine the connections between the representations. They will also explore certain relationships that emerge from the measurement of three-dimensional objects and two dimensional shapes. Students will consolidate their mathematical skills as they solve problems and communicate their thinking. Successful completion of this course prepares students for Foundations of Mathematics, Grade 10, Applied (MFM2P). (Note: Students who wish to take Principles of Mathematics, Grade 10, Academic (MPM2D) after completing this course will need to take a transfer course.) Learning through hands-on activities and the use of concrete examples is an important aspect of this course.
This course is an ESL course. Those participating in the ESL program may choose to take this course. For the standard English course, see MFM1P.
This course is an applied course, which focuses on the essential concepts of this discipline. This course develops studnets' understanding by using pratical applications and incorporates theoretical applications when appropriate. Course work focuses on real-life situations and using extensive hands-on applications of course concepts.
