Description: This study reviews Grade 9 Ontario Mathematics teachers' practices, teaching methodologies and assessment strategies, using responses to the Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics Teacher Questionnaire. Factor analyses found that the patterns of factors for the teaching methodologies were similar, and the patterns of factors for the assessment strategies were different, between teachers of the applied and academic program. Comparisons of composite scores based on the factors showed that the frequencies of use of teaching methodologies by teachers of the applied and academic program differ significantly.
