Between January 23- 26, 2024 our students in the Grade 9 mathematics course (MTH1W) who are learning in person will be taking part in the online Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics administered by the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO). This assessment is administered province-wide and has been developed by Ontario teachers and assessment experts. It is designed to allow students to demonstrate their skills and knowledge relating to mathematics as described in The Ontario Curriculum, Grade 9: Mathematics (2021).
Students will complete the assessment in two sessions (Session A and Session B). Each session will be completed in one sitting and will take approximately 60 minutes to complete. The assessment uses a multi-stage computer adaptive testing model that adapts to the individual student’s performance as the student progresses through each session. Students will also be presented with a questionnaire.
After the assessment sessions are complete, teachers will receive an Individual Student Report for each student. Results from this assessment may be included as part of a student’s final course mark.
Students will have the opportunity to become familiar with the types of questions on the online assessment and its platform through EQAO’s online sample test.
