• solving situational questions.

[C, CN, PS, R, T]

• N9.2 Demonstrate understanding of rational numbers including:
  
• comparing and ordering

Patterns and Relations (P)

• P9.1 Demonstrate understanding of linear relations including:
• graphing
• analyzing
• interpolating and extrapolating
• solving situational questions.

[C, CN, PS, R, T, V]

• P9.2 Model and solve situational questions using linear equations of the form:
• ax = b
• x/a = b, a ≠ 0
• ax + b = c
• x/a + b = c, a ≠ 0
• ax = b + cx
• a(x + b) = c
• ax + b = cx + d
• a(bx + c) = d(ex + f)

• modeling
• generalizing strategies for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
• analyzing
• relating to context
• comparing for equivalency.

[C, CN, R, V]

Shape and Space (SS)

• SS9.1 Demonstrate understanding of circle properties including:
• perpendicular line segments from the centre of a circle to a chord bisect the chord
• inscribed angles subtended by the same arc have the same measure
• the measure of a central angle is twice the measure of an inscribed angle subtending the same arc
• tangents to a circle are perpendicular to the radius ending at the point of tangency.
