Year 7 Maths

The curriculum is designed to build on the foundational skills acquired in primary school and introduce students to more complex mathematical concepts.

Skills	Outcomes
Number	Integers and Decimals: – Understand and work with positive and negative integers. – Perform operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) with whole numbers and decimals. – Understand place value and rounding of whole numbers and decimals. Fractions, Percentages, and Ratios: – Simplify, compare, and order fractions. – Convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages. – Solve problems involving the four operations with fractions and percentages. – Understand and use ratios and proportions in various contexts.
Algebra	Expressions and Equations: – Understand and use algebraic notation. – Simplify and evaluate algebraic expressions. – Solve linear equations and simple inequalities. – Use algebraic methods to solve problems, including word problems. Sequences: Recognize and generate sequences, including arithmetic sequences. Use simple formulae to describe sequences.
Geometry and Measures	Shapes and Angles: – Identify and classify different types of angles (acute, obtuse, right, reflex). – Calculate angles in various geometrical figures, including triangles and quadrilaterals. – Recognize and describe properties of 2D shapes and 3D solids. Perimeter, Area, and Volume: – Calculate the perimeter and area of basic shapes such as rectangles, triangles, and parallelograms. – Understand and calculate the volume of simple 3D shapes such as cubes and cuboids. Transformations: – Perform and describe translations, rotations, reflections, and enlargements on the coordinate plane.
Statistics and Probability	Data Handling: – Collect, organize, and interpret data using tables, charts, and graphs (bar charts, pie charts, line graphs). – Calculate and interpret averages (mean, median, mode) and range. Probability: – Understand and calculate simple probabilities. Represent probabilities using fractions, decimals, and percentages.
Problem Solving and Mathematical Reasoning	Application: – Apply mathematical knowledge to solve a variety of real-life problems. – Develop logical reasoning and critical thinking skills to approach and solve mathematical problems. – Communicate mathematical ideas clearly using appropriate language and notation.
