Year 7 Mathematics Accelerated

TERM 4, 2025

Students will begin the term by continuing their work with Length, Area and Volume. They will build on their understanding of prisms, applying formulas to find their volumes and honing the ability to choose and convert appropriate units for measurements in area, volume, and capacity. This unit will provide students with practical tools for solving a range of mathematical problems.

Next topic is Probability; students will find the probability of a simple event occurring. They will begin with sample space, before investigating the concept behind theoretical versus experimental probability. Complementary events will be looked at, enabling students another tool for solving real life problems.

Finally, students will begin our last topic Ratio and Rates. They will investigate the difference between a ratio and a rate, simplify ratios and rates, solve problems involving ratio including using the unitary method and divide quantities in a given ratio. They will be able to convert between rates, solve rate problems including best buys and interpret and construct distance–time graphs.

   During Term 4, students will complete Task 4 which contributes 25% of the student's overall assessment for the year.
