Year 9 Mathematics

The course is based on Mathematics in the New Zealand Curriculum (Level 3-5). The strands of number and algebra; geometry and measurement; and statistics and probability are covered, as well as the mathematical processes of problem solving; developing logic and reasoning; and communicating mathematical ideas.

Emphasis will be given to the development of numeracy, measurement and algebraic skills.

Students will be given opportunities to:

• Gain confidence and competence in the use of numbers.

• Participate in real mathematical situations so as to see the use of mathematics in everyday life.

• Develop the skills of measurement.

• Develop geometrical knowledge and skills associated with shape and space.

• Generalise from patterns and relationships.

• Manipulate data.

• Using Digital Technologies for Problem Solving, Coding and Data Displays.
  
  

Teaching and learning in the classroom, and assessment, will reflect the needs and abilities of the students.
