Math 9 Applied/Academic Study Guide  NEW! Revised Version #3 now available

In Ontario, the overall expectations outlined by the Ministry of Education are very similar for both Math 9 Applied and Math 9 Academic courses, so this book can be used for either course. While the overall stress of this study guide is towards helping the Applied student succeed, we have also included some multi-step questions and calculations of prisms and cylinders to comply with all of the specific expectations of the Academic Program of Studies. Throughout the book are helpful hints to jog your memory, methods to make learning concepts much easier, and a series of exercises, pop quizzes and final exams. This means you will become increasingly confident and prepared when it comes to school tests. Supplementary exercises are included for students who want extra reinforcement. This book was recently revised by a 39 year Ontario math professional teacher as an added benefit to students of his many years of teaching experience including the new Ontario math curriculum. All of these supplementary exercises compliment the present Math 9 Text Ontario edition of Addison-Wesley Mathematics 9 (ISBN 0-201-614737- 5).

Math 10 Applied Study Guide  NEW! In Stores now.

The unique aspect of this book is that it was written by both a professional teacher who has continually chosen to work with students having the greatest difficulty with the new Ontario math curriculum and by a teacher who was working with an ADD child. This is not a high-tech solution but a "back to basics", student-oriented method of directed learning designed to enable students to be successful with the requirements of this difficult new curriculum. Our approach is "Get to the point and get on with the lesson". This study guide covers concepts taught in the new Ontario Math Applied Curriculum including proportional reasoning: ratios/rates/percent, introduction to Trigonometry, linear functions and linear systems, and quadratic functions and factoring. It contains helpful hints to jog your memory, methods to make learning concepts much easier, and a series of exercises and quizzes, and a final exam for home and school students.
