The Year 9 Mathematics program is based on the content in the Australian Mathematics Curriculum.
Mathematics
Year 9
Students are assigned to one of four courses based on their Year 8 results:
- Advanced Course
Designed for students with strong mathematical aptitude and abstract thinking skills, this course focuses on advanced topics like three-dimensional problem-solving. It sharpens reasoning and application skills, preparing students for Year 10 and the 10 advanced program, which goes beyond the standard Year 10 syllabus. - Intermediate A Course
For students with average to above-average mathematical ability, this course is taught at a fast pace with enough rigor to encourage mathematical thinking, application, and reasoning. It includes some extension topics to challenge and grow students’ skills. - Intermediate B Course
A general mathematics program for students who benefit from a slower pace. This course provides consistent review opportunities to reinforce mathematical concepts, build confidence, and improve fluency through well-scaffolded lessons. - Modified Course
Catering to students who require a slower pace and individual attention, this course uses a structured teaching approach to address learning gaps. It focuses on essential numeracy skills needed for the OLNA assessment in Year 10.
