Year 9 Maths

Year 9 continues to develop the mathematical concepts covered in Years 7 and 8 but at greater depth and sophistication. Big ideas in Year 9 include Pythagoras’ Theorem, trigonometry, a more comprehensive treatment of linear and non-linear relations, multi-stage probability problems, similarity, simple interest, index laws and scientific notation. Students enhance their knowledge and skills in the use of spreadsheets by completing the ICT 4U program.
