EQAO Released Items From Grade 9 Mathematics Assessments The accompanying files contain released EQAO questions from several recent Grade 9 Mathematics Assessments, for both Academic and Applied . The questions have been sorted by strand, courtesy of Simcoe County District School Board. The files are in Word format, and are all editable. These questions could be used in a number of ways to support Grade 9 students who will be writing the EQAO assessments. Teachers could: include in unit tests; use in class as part of regular review; use as review for unit tests or final exams; use as “Minds On” or “Ticket To Leave/Exit Card”; modify questions to increase the bank of available questions for their classes; use in other ways to support student success on the EQAO assessments. Students could: identify enduring understandings or recurring concepts based on these samples; analyze common elements and styles in the questions; develop their own solutions and ask a learning partner to check them write their own questions based on these samples. Teachers are encouraged to use these materials with their students in a variety of ways, such as think-pair-share, jigsaw, carousel, graffiti, gallery walks, etc.
