About Ontario's EQAO for Grade 9 Math

EQAO is a province-wide standardized test that all grade 9 math students must write. The test is typically written in January (semester 1 students) and June (semester 2 students). The Government of Ontarion has a lot of resources available for students, parents/guardians, and teachers online.

Is extra help available?

Yes, extra help is available. Just ask in class. If you are too shy or nervous to ask in class, please write the question on some paper and give it to me at the start of class. I will try to answer the question at the beginning of class for everyone.

What supplies should students bring to class?

Students are expected to bring the following supplies to every class:
1. A 3-ringed binder to keep class notes organized;
2. Lined paper and/or 1cm squared graphing paper;
3. Pencils such as an HB2 pencil (an eraser is also helpful);
4. A small ruler (approx 6 inches);
5. A scientific calculator. It must be have the sin, cos, tan buttons.

If you have any questions, be sure to ask in class.

Calculators

What kind of calculator should students use in high school? My observation is that calculators having a two-line display are better than ones that only have a single line display. This is because the user can see both the question and the answer at the same time. This allows us the opportunity of checking to see if we keyed in the question correctly.
