Year+9+Semester+2+Curriculum


 * __Year 9 Mathematics Curriculum 2012__**


 * Text: ** Heineman Maths Zone 9 VELS ed.
 * Calculator: ** A scientific calculator is required.


 * End of Semester exam: ** An exam of 100 minutes duration, covering the whole semester’s work, will occur in the last week of the semester. Students will be allowed to take in the summary sheets they produced for the topic tests during the semester into the exam.


 * Classwork: ** Students need to complete all the set exercises and show them to their classroom teacher. Completion of set class work is strongly linked to skill acquisition and hence to success in maths, so it is a strong priority for teachers. Poor performance in topic tests coupled with non-completion of class work will result in letters of concern being sent home.
