This week marks the end of our unit on Probability, where students have explored chance and uncertainty beyond simple coin flips to understand key ideas such as theoretical and experimental probability and the likelihood of dependent and independent events.
Next week we move into the world of Geometry 📐. This focus over the intermediate years builds spatial reasoning and a deep understanding of geometric properties. Students will learn to calculate perimeter, area and volume for 2D and 3D shapes, progressing from simple figures to composite shapes and cuboids.
A key part of the curriculum involves exploring and describing the four main transformations: reflection, rotation, translation and enlargement using scale factors so that students understand how shapes move within a coordinate system. They will also investigate angles, classify them (for example, complementary and supplementary) and use their properties to solve problems in different contexts.
From PAT Maths Testing To Statistics And Data
Students completed the PAT maths test and now move into statistics and a possible end-of-term data investigation.
Building Skills in Rational Numbers and Statistics
This term begins with Rational Numbers, followed by Statistics, with the e-asTTle test set for Week 7. Regular practice is encouraged.
Building Skills and Confidence in Maths – Term 1 Overview
Students across Years 7–9 wrapped up Term 1 with a strong focus on number operations, place value, and financial capability. From budgeting projects to real-life applications of decimals and integers, the programme has helped build confidence, fluency, and practical problem-solving skills.
