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, and in the final unit it is named as proof.
Every duration, context and assessment word is a strong default rather than a fixed rule. Year 9 means ages 13–14, or S2–S3 in Scotland.

The sequence
What this scheme of work covers, unit by unit
The 6 units of the Year 9 Mathematics Scheme of Work, in teaching order, with the term each one runs in and the question it is built to answer.

Algebra: Rearranging, Inequalities and Simultaneous Equations
Autumn 1 · approx. 7 weeks · September – October
If two things are true at once, what does that pin down?

Pythagoras and Trigonometry
Autumn 2 · approx. 7 weeks · November – December
How do you measure something you cannot reach?
2a
Percentages, Growth and Financial Mathematics
Spring 1 · approx. 6 weeks · January – February
Why does a debt grow faster than you expect?
2b
Statistics: Comparing Distributions
Spring 2 · approx. 6 weeks · February – April
