Hello Students,
The topics on this page are what I would consider some of the “Big Ideas” of the MPM1D Grade 9 Academic Math Course to assist you in your course review and preparation for the EQAO Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics which is worth 20% of your final grade. There are four (4) content strands in the course, so I will organize the topics based on strand and only include what I would consider the most important and/or common difficult concepts that all students should review over these last two weeks.
Note that you can find a full course review by clicking here.

LR – Linear Relations
LR1 – Using Data Management to Investigate Relationships
We see these concepts so much throughout the course, I don’t think much time reviewing is necessary.
LR2 – Understanding Characteristics of Linear Relations
LR2.03 – I can identify, through investigation, some properties of linear relations and apply these properties to determine whether a relation is linear or non-linear (by rate of change/initial value when described in words, by first differences in a table, straight/curved graph, degree of terms in equation).

LR3 – Connecting Various Representations of Linear Relations
LR3.01 – I can determine values of a linear relation by using a table of values, by using the equation of the relation, and by interpolating or extrapolating from the graph of the relation.
LR3.02 – I can describe a situation that would explain the events illustrated by a given graph of a relationship between two variables.
