Topics covered in Year 7 maths
Year 7 maths is likely to feel a little different to primary school maths. Students will be introduced to a number of new topics as well as new vocabulary and methods for tackling problems. They will cover topics from across all of the 6 areas of maths; number, ratio and proportion, algebra, geometry, statistics and probability.
Although there is no set list of topics that students need to cover in year 7, schools often choose to focus on number topics during year 7. It is important that students develop their skills with mental and written calculations with whole numbers and decimals and working with fractions, percentages and ratios. They will need skills in these areas to be able to tackle problems across the curriculum as they progress through KS3 maths.
Algebra and the use of algebraic notation is also a focus during year 7. Again, it is important that students have a good foundation in algebra as they will build on this throughout their mathematical journey in Key Stage 3.
Other topics that are likely to be covered in year 7 include: place value, negative numbers, order of operations, area and perimeter of 2D shapes such as parallelograms, angles, polygons, charts and graphs, averages and probability.
