Mathematics · Key Stage 3 · £4.99
Year 7 Mathematics
Scheme of Work
Six half-termly units across one academic year. Algebraic thinking opens the year deliberately, directed number precedes fractions, and equations come after both. Each unit states the prerequisite it cannot run without.

Ten sections per unit, in the same order every time. Phases rather than single lessons, because mathematics is timetabled at three to four hours a week.
One principle applies to every unit and is stated once at the front: a method a student cannot explain is a method they will lose. Reasoning is required at every step, from the first week of Year 7.
Every duration, context and assessment word is a strong default rather than a fixed rule. Year 7 means ages 11–12, or P7–S1 in Scotland.

The sequence
What this scheme of work covers, unit by unit
The 6 units of the Year 7 Mathematics Scheme of Work, in teaching order, with the term each one runs in and the question it is built to answer.
1a
Sequences, Notation and Equivalence
Autumn 1 · approx. 7 weeks · September – October
What does the equals sign actually mean?
1b
Place Value and Directed Number
Autumn 2 · approx. 7 weeks · November – December
What is actually happening when you subtract a negative?
2a
Fractions, Decimals and Percentages
Spring 1 · approx. 6 weeks · January – February
Why are a half, 0.5 and 50% the same thing?
2b
Expressions and Solving Equations
Spring 2 · approx. 6 weeks · February – April
If you do the same thing to both sides, why does the answer stay true?
3a
Ratio and Proportion
Summer 1 · approx. 6 weeks · April – May
When two things grow together, what stays the same?
3b
Lines, Angles and Data
Summer 2 · approx. 6 weeks · June – July
How do you know a mathematical statement is true, rather than just likely?
