Ontario · Grade 9 (MTH1W, de-streamed)
MTH1W.C3.1
Grade 9 de-streamed — Compare the shapes of the graphs of linear and non-linear relations to describe their rates of change.
A note on this mapping: This is as far as Ontario goes before Grade 11: MTH1W contrasts linear with non-linear growth but never names an exponential function — that is MCR3U and MHF4U.
The skill that covers it
What a student should be able to do
- Evaluate an exponential function at a given input.
- Identify growth and decay from the base.
- Write an exponential model from a starting amount and a rate.
- Compare linear and exponential growth over time.
