This year serves as the bridge between Primary education and Secondary, and so we focus on checking the understanding of students with regards to their KS2 mathematics skills. We are then able to reinforce and extend the prior learning of our pupils.

Pupils are unlikely to have used the calculator in their Maths lessons in their primary schools and so the aim of our curriculum in year 7 is to revisit and reinforce, whilst extending their number work from KS2 and gradually introduce them to solving simple algebraic equations and deepen their knowledge of calculating averages and representing data through charts.

 

Pupils will be taught the following topics:

• Use positive integer powers and associated real roots

In year 8, we build on the content that had been covered in year 7. Students will cover units that fall broadly under Number, Algebra, Shapes and data handling. The emphasis on this year is to consolidate their previous learning in year 7, as well as introducing new concepts like Real- Life graphs and Straight Line graphs. By the end of year 8, we expect all students to be confident in solving two step algebraic equations, as well as expand a term over a single bracket and factorising algebraic expressions

This year serves as the bridge between our KS3 and KS4 and so it is an opportunity for students to get themselves ready for their GCSE years. At the end of this academic year, students will sit an exam; the outcome of these assessments in conjunction with their overall attitude towards learning will be used to determine their GCSE maths tier of entry. Students will still have the opportunity in the course of the following academic year to switch tiers. So the over-arching objective of our curriculum in year 9 is to reinforce students learning in KS3 as well as starting with preparations for their GCSE’s.
