Listed below are all the different skills you will learn in Year 9 Mathematics Term 1. No matter who your teacher is you'll be covering this content from week to week. By clicking on the title of each section it will take you to a new page where there are helpful tutorial videos and worksheets to practice your mathematical skills. Each week is split up into "Must Do" - content all students will need to know, and "Could Do" - content you could learn if you want to extend yourself. Remember, if you're ever unsure about something you can email your Maths teacher.
