Math Q & A — for Ontario Math Teacher Test

 

The Ontario government has mandated that all new teachers will need to pass a test, of which 70% will be on mathematics knowledge up to Grade 11.

EQAO is tasked to create the test, which will in due course provide a sample test.

In the meantime, you may want to look at what previous math tests EQAO has created. Below are links to the last 2 EQAO Grade 9 Math Tests:

If you have a math content question related to one of these tests, please email George Gadanidis at ggadanid@uwo.ca.
