Lee’s Grade 9 BC Math Spring 2026. Assessment is via the unit test, two non-calculator numeracy quiz, your constructions and your classwork.
All grades are formative until a date set a few weeks prior to the end of the course. Continued learning is encouraged. Resources for continued learning and ongoing assessment are in the second table below. Click ‘how to upgrade’.
| # | Type | Description | Proficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| i | Numeracy: Multiples | Number bonds and non calculator techniques for 4, 5, short division | Emg, Dev, Prf |
| ii | Numeracy: Ratios | Non calculator arithmetic with ratios, simplifying, distributing, reading coordinates and various units of measurement | Emg, Dev, Prf, Ext |
| iii | Pythagorean Theorem | Calculating the third side of a right triangle given the lengths of the other two sides | Emg, Dev, Prf |
| iv | Similar shapes: enlarge | Enlarge a shape on a grid, including diagonal lines using run & rise. Enlarge a shape on a coordinate system, using a center of enlargement and coordinates to help. | Emg, Dev, Prf |
| v | Similar shapes: computation | Use a scale factor or equivalent fractions or equivalent ratios to determine unknown lengths on similar shapes when presented side by side. | Emg, Dev, Prf |
| vi | Problem solving | Multi-step problems involving deduction by redrawing rotated and reflected or nested pairs of similar shapes to assist calculation | Emg, Dev, Prf, Ext |
| vii | Construction | Paper/pencil & GeoGebra constructions demonstrating one or more transformations. Described fully and analysed mathematically. | Emg, Dev, Prf, Ext |
| viii | Classwork | Understanding and Solving | Emg, Dev, Prf, Ext |

| vii | Constructions | Respond to feedback and resubmit. | |
| viii | Classwork | Respond to feedback and resubmit. | |
‘Proficient’ is the goal. Students who reach proficiency in topics can focus on building on and extending their knowledge in their next math course. ‘Sophisticated’ understanding will happen for this student over time. Students whose knowledge is still developing at the end of grade 9 may have sufficient knowledge for their future math needs or may feel like they are spending time reviewing and relearning while their peers are learning new things.
