105·Mathematics · Key Stage 3
Year 8
Mathematics
Six half-termly units across one academic year, written backwards from Year 9 and forwards from Year 7. Probability appears here, as Year 7's coverage note promised, with fractions a year old.
- 1aProportional Reasoning: Rates and Change
- 1bLinear Relationships and Graphs
- 2aIndices, Primes and the Structure of Number
- 2bArea, Volume and Surface Area
- 3aProbability
- 3bAlgebraic Manipulation: Brackets and Factorising
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.
Every duration, context and assessment word is a strong default rather than a fixed rule. Year 8 means ages 12–13, or S1–S2 in Scotland.
