104·Mathematics · Key Stage 3
Year 7
Mathematics
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.
- 1aSequences, Notation and Equivalence
- 1bPlace Value and Directed Number
- 2aFractions, Decimals and Percentages
- 2bExpressions and Solving Equations
- 3aRatio and Proportion
- 3bLines, Angles and Data
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.
