Ontario Grade 9 Math tutors (MTH1W)
MTH1W is the de-streamed Grade 9 math course every Ontario student takes. It mixes number, algebra, coding, data, geometry and financial literacy, and it sets up every math course that follows.
A tutor helps your child close gaps from elementary school and get comfortable with algebra before Grade 10.

About Grade 9 Math (MTH1W)
- Since 2021 Grade 9 math is not streamed: academic and applied were merged into MTH1W.
- The EQAO Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics is written online during the course and can count towards the final mark, at the school's choice.
How to do well
- Master linear relationsSlope, intercepts and the equation y = mx + b come back in Grade 10 analytic geometry and in every function course after it.
- Show your thinkingThinking and Communication marks need clear steps and sentences, not only correct answers.
- Track the achievement chartOntario teachers mark Knowledge, Thinking, Communication and Application separately. A tutor can show you which category is costing you marks.

Frequently asked questions
Is MTH1W harder than the old applied course?
It covers the academic content for everyone, so students who would have taken applied math often need more support with algebra. A tutor can target exactly those parts.
Which Grade 10 course comes after MTH1W?
Students choose MPM2D (academic) or MFM2P (applied). MPM2D leads to Grade 11 Functions (MCR3U) and the university math pathway.
