• Constructing, measuring and using geometric notation, developing geometric reasoning 
• Interleaving of equations, perimeter, expressions, BODMAS, higher negative square root, algebraic LCM, HCF

Skills 

The key fundamentals for mathematics are number, algebra, geometry, statistics and ratio and proportion.

Students will apply these throughout the year interleaving topics within each other so that they see and develop an understanding of how each skills links with other areas of maths and other subjects within the curriculum. 

Background/Extended Learning 

Use MyMaths to further your understanding.
  

Discuss at home different application to maths. Each question is related to a real life situations from buying tickets to electricity bills.

Reflect on your learning and keep practice the skills. Create knowledge organisers and flash cards.

This will help to learn the key facts. The key to success is using the skills regularly.
