Year 7/8 Maths

The topics we will be covering in term 2 include:

• Pythagoras’ Theorem – solving real-world problems involving right-angled triangles, distances, and geometric reasoning
• Algebraic Techniques & Equations – expanding, factorising, and solving linear equations with increasing complexity
• Circle Geometry – understanding parts of a circle, circumference, and area of sectors
• Linear Relationships & Graphing – interpreting patterns, plotting points, and analysing linear equations on the coordinate plane
• Advanced Problem Solving & Enrichment – applying mathematical reasoning to multi-step and competition-style questions
• Number Systems – extending understanding to different bases and place value systems

In this mathematics course, students will be completing a 30-minute mini test in weeks 1, 3, 5 and 7. These tests consists of questions from the whole of Stage 4 (Year 7 and 8) and some of Year 9 Mathematics with the aim of revising and solidifying all topic areas. Students will also be completing a final written 1-hour examination in week 9 with written feedback returned to students in week 10. Weekly homework submission is required for all students. Face-to-face class students must submit their homework to their class teacher, while online students are required to upload a PDF version online. The class teacher will mark the homework and return it.
