About the SK SSA Math 9 Exam
Saskatchewan Student Assessment—Grade 9 Mathematics is the provincial mathematics assessment for Grade 9 students in publicly funded Saskatchewan schools. It is based entirely on Saskatchewan Mathematics 9 curriculum outcomes (powers, rational numbers, square roots, linear relations and equations, inequalities, polynomials of degree ≤2, circle properties, surface area, similarity, symmetry, and statistics/probability, including respectful First Nations and Métis perspectives). The Assessment Unit administers the program online via studentassessment.saskatchewan.ca. There is no student fee. Spring 2026 is a field-test window for Math 9 (June 8–19, 2026); operational implementation with returned results begins in 2026–27. Official math is offered in English and French. This OpenExamPrep bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation — it does not reproduce secure items or replace the French-language pathway.
