The SDSS math department offers a full array of courses at all levels. We have a strong teaching staff in our math department and are committed to ensuring student success in grade 9 and beyond.
Beyond the three math courses available to students in Grade 9, we offer 16 other math course in grades ten through twelve. Students in math courses are provided with textbooks, workbooks and other resources to assist with learning.
Many grade 9 students participate in math contests from the University of Waterloo, with the opportunity to write both the Pascal and Canadian Intermediate Math Contests. We frequently hear from post-secondary students that they feel comfortable and well-prepared in their math studies compared to their classmates from other schools. Whether you are heading to University, College or the Workplace, we strive to provide our students with an excellent education in mathematics!
Grade 9 students write the standardized provincial EQAO math test. SDSS is proud to say that our provincial test scores have been significantly higher than both the Provincial and Bluewater averages for the last five years and almost frequently the highest recorded in our area. These outstanding results are observed in both the Applied and Academic pathways.
