Assessment Guide G9 Geometry

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’.

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

# Type Continued Learning Assessment
i Numeracy (multiples) Review the set of exercises completed in class. Retake one of the exercises at lunch time.
iii Pythagorean Theorem (test section 1) Interactive lesson, webpage, video, quiz Take an assigned-to-you version of this quiz in class/lunch.
iv Similar shapes: enlarge (test section 2) Practice with a simple grid and with a coordinate system. Take an assigned-to-you version of this quiz in class/lunch.
v Similar shapes and Pythagoras’ theorem fusion (test section 3) Practice with this question set. Quiz at lunch: one randomly drawn question from the set.
vi Problem solving (test section 4) New resource: Practice applet. Quiz at lunch: Two randomly drawn questions from the practice set.
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.
