Grade 9 Mathematics
This course enables students to consolidate, and continue to develop, an understanding of mathematical concepts related to number sense and operations, algebra, measurement, geometry, data, probability, and financial literacy. Students will use mathematical processes, mathematical modelling, and coding to make sense of the mathematics they are learning and to apply their understanding to culturally responsive and relevant real-world situations. Students will continue to enhance their mathematical reasoning skills, including proportional reasoning, spatial reasoning, and algebraic reasoning, as they solve problems and communicate their thinking.

Sabrina earned her Bachelor’s of Arts from University of Michigan and her Master’s of Arts in Teaching from Marian University. Before joining CVS, Sabrina had the opportunity to teach math for a variety of schools and tutoring organizations. She taught grade 6 to 11 math at both brick and mortar and online schools in the States before coming to Canada. Those were formative years for Sabrina and helped her understand how to support students who struggle with math and how to challenge students who excel in math. Her many years of teaching experience, content expertise, and passion for helping students succeed inform Sabrina’s teaching practice every day. She is passionate about helping students who believe they can’t do math realize that, in fact, they can! She loves to make learning fun and is always striving to help students grasp concepts rather than memorize procedures. Read more about Sabrina on our blog.
