The first week we will have one more period on our 1.2 assessment. This is to make up for the time missed due to our fire drill that interrupted our assessment time in Term 2. We will then work towards understanding graphs and probability to work towards the 1.3 external exam. Please note the exam time for Level 1 maths this year is Thursday 13th November 2025.
The first week will be dedicated to finishing our 1.1 assessment. Workspace that holds content for the term is linked below.
Week 2-4: Basic algebra skills - power rules from multiplying/dividing terms, simplifying adding and subtracting terms. Expanding and factorising brackets.
Week 4-6 Basic algebra skills solving 1 step, two step, multi step equations. Rearranging formulae (as this will come in handy for Pythagoras and Trigonometric ratios from week 6).
Week 6-8: Right Angled triangles - pythagoras in 2D and 3D space, Trigonometric ratios in 2D and 3D space. Mixed pythagoras and Trigonometric ratios questions.
Week 9
Introduction to similar shapes. Identifying similar shapes (the trick is the angles), calculating the scale factor and using the scale factor to calculate a missing side
Similar shapes booklet answers

In brief Week 1 Will be your 1.3 assessment. Please remember that if you have Trades or Gateway you will have more class time in Week 2.
Preparation for 1.4 will commence after the completion of 1.3 starting with going over the answers to the 1.4 mock exam and individual study or blitz revision on topics the class votes on. There is a checklist you can use to aid in individual study in and out of the class. Please remember I will not be present on Friday Week 2 due to Chess Nationals. There will be tasks in Education Perfect for you if you are unsure on what to work on.
Week 3 is an interesting week for everyone. Monday is Labor day, followed by Staff only day on Tuesday. For those that have achieved Level 1, your last day is Wednesday, please be expected to maintain a good work ethic on the day. It is not the last day of school, it is the last day of scheduled classes before your exams. You will still need to study for your exams and you are welcome to email your teachers for tutorials/guided study times. Please take into account teacher time tables change a little during exam time, and we still teach junior classes, so we are not always free for you to drop in with questions.
Please see the workspace below for Algebra skills. The skills needed in 1.4 are the same taught for 1.2.
