Programme of study Y7
Number Booklet:
Revision of techniques students have used in the past. Developing their skills with the four basic operations. Rounding and problem solving.
Shape and Space Booklet:
Covers area, perimeter and volume. Knowledge of units of measurement to be used.
Algebra Booklet:
An introduction to algebra, solving equations, substituting into formulae and worded problems.
MyMaths:
The work is based on the My Maths Book but teachers should supplement this with worksheets, ICT sheets, the National Strategy Framework for teaching mathematics and the National Curriculum. Not forgetting, and most importantly, the teacher’s own individual input. The professional judgement of colleagues is crucial in selecting appropriate materials, exercises, questions, worksheets and approaches to the work.
We aim to cover:
- Whole numbers and decimals;
- Measures, perimeter and area;
- Expressions and Formulae;
- Fractions, Decimals and Percentages;
- Angles and 2D shapes.
