Algebraic Notation and Manipulation
This module recaps the algebra taught in Primary School and extends it into forming expressions, collecting like terms, multiplying over a bracket and factorising algebraic expressions. Assessment will be via continual assessment of classwork and homework and includes a more formal test.
Formulae and Sequences
This module continues the work of the previous one and extends the use of algebra in using, and substituting, into formulae and sequences, including square and triangular numbers, the Fibonacci sequence and generating linear sequences including find the nth term. Assessment will be via continual assessment of classwork and homework and includes a more formal test.
Equations
This module introduces the idea of equations and how to solve them, extending into solving linear equations with the unknown on both sides of the equation and including brackets. Assessment will be via continual assessment of classwork and homework and includes a more formal test.
Linear Graphs
This module starts with using and plotting coordinates in all 4 quadrants and develops into graphing linear functions by completing a table and then into finding gradients and intercepts of straight lines, finally looking at finding the equations of straight lines by using the gradient and intercept method. Assessment will be via continual assessment of classwork and homework and includes a more formal test.
Ratio
In this module students will learn what a ratio is, compare using ratios and understand the links to previous work on fractions, decimals and percentages, be able to divide quantities in a given ratio and find a quantity given the ratio and one other quantity. Assessment will be via continual assessment of classwork and homework and includes a more formal test.
Statistics
This module includes work on statistical diagrams such as pictograms, bar charts and pie charts, and on statistical averages from finding the mode, median and mean from lists to finding averages from tabulated data. Assessment will be via continual assessment of classwork and homework and includes a more formal test.
Probability
This module is an introduction to probability, from understanding that the probabilities of all possible events sum to one, to using tables, grids and Venn and Carroll diagrams to represent and solve probability problems. Assessment will be via continual assessment of classwork and homework and includes a more formal test.
Angles in Parallel Lines
This module takes the work on Angles from Year 7 and develops it further by looking at angles in parallel lines. Assessment will be via continual assessment of classwork and homework and includes a more formal test.
Circles, Prisms and Cylinders
The module starts with work on both the circumference and area of circles and shapes involving parts of circles through to work on finding the surface area and volume of prisms and cylinders. Assessment will be via continual assessment of classwork and homework and includes a more formal test.
Transformations and Constructions
Transformation Geometry explains how shapes are moved on a coordinate grid by using translation, reflection and rotation; Constructions concentrates on the accurate use of a pencil, ruler and compass which will be taught by constructing intricate patterns. Assessment will be via continual assessment of classwork and homework.
