Mathematics 9/10 Honours

Admission criteria for the Math 9/10 Honours course in 2026/2027 will be based on the following: · Completion of enrichment packages submitted to Mr. Ito after spring break. · Participation in the Pascal math competition on February 2026, and Gauss math competition on May 2026 · Recommendation from your current Math 8 teacher based on your learning initiative, time management, and resilience. · A placement assessment will be scheduled in April 2026. · Final cumulative grade of at least High Proficient in allthree Learning Standards in the Math 8 course and Math 8 Final Assessment is required to confirm placement. The instruction will be accelerated to complete both Mathematics 9 and Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 topics in one year. Students will have been exposed to some of the Mathematics 9 content via the enrichment packages in Grade 8. A firm commitment is required to ensure success in this fast-paced course. Students enrolled will be expected to have great interest in participating in math contests. See the course descriptions for Mathematics 9 and Foundations and Pre-Calculus 10 for content. Students with grades below Low Proficient in the first month will be counselled to transfer out to Math 9. This course will have a final assessment. Upon completion of this course, students will be enrolled in Pre-Calculus 11 unless achievement is below Low Proficient, then a recommendation will be made to complete a summer Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 course. Finally, this course is contingent on there being at least ten students meeting the admission criteria.
