The fourth year of our math curriculum solidifies and expands the foundation built in the first three years.
Archimath motivates and supports school students to become successful with the help of the most popular mathematical textbook series in Bulgarian public schools.
Overview
In 9th grade algebra, students continue their study of functions, master systems of quadratic equations, and learn a crystal clear method for solving inequalities involving polynomials, rational expressions, and/or absolute value. In geometry, students revisit the theorems from prior years and find that they can solve harder problems with less effort.
They move on with a unit on similar triangles, making heavy use of algebra they learned early on and setting the stage for trigonometry, which will be studied in 9B. Finally, students use their combinatorics knowledge from 8th grade part B to develop basic probability results.
These 9th grade math texbooks cultivate a strong relationship between the students and the material;
by using helpful color coding, symbols,
and by providing appropriate scaffolding for students throughout.
They have been used with great success in the very popular Math Taught the Right Way program at the world-famous Berkeley Math Circle.
In the textbooks, each lesson fits onto a two-page spread, including the practice problems, making it easier to focus on the topic at hand.
