math is one of those subjects that builds upon a strong foundation. A C in grade 9 may translate to a C in or lower in Grade 10 and so on. I tmay not be her forte and is not necessary for all University programmes (as per Charletan).
Having said that, gr 9 math is generally a review and may be too boring. So the above argument may not hold true for a brainy kid. Also, University only looks at the last year of highschool for marks. So Grade 12 math (assuming she stays in the academic/University stream for math) is the critical year to 'perform' in.
Re-doing the course in summer school may be an option as a confidence builder, to set her up for a run at Gr 10.
