Mathematics is easy, it just takes hard work. Mathematics Year 7 By the end of Year 7, students will be able to: solve problems involving the comparison, addition and subtraction of integers. make the connections between whole numbers and index notation and the relationship between perfect squares and square roots. solve problems involving percentages and all four operations with fractions and decimals. compare the cost of items to make financial decisions. represent numbers using variables. connect the laws and properties for numbers to algebra. interpret simple linear representations and model authentic information. describe different views of three-dimensional objects. represent transformations in the Cartesian plane. solve simple numerical problems involving angles formed by a transversal crossing two parallel lines. identify issues involving the collection of continuous data. describe the relationship between the median and mean in data displays. use fractions, decimals and percentages, and their equivalences. express one quantity as a fraction or percentage of another. solve simple linear equations and evaluate algebraic expressions after numerical substitution. assign ordered pairs to given points on the Cartesian plane. use formulas for the area and perimeter of rectangles and calculate volumes of rectangular prisms. classify triangles and quadrilaterals. name the types of angles formed by a transversal crossing parallel line. determine the sample space for simple experiments with equally likely outcomes and assign probabilities to those outcomes. calculate mean, mode, median and range for data sets. construct stem-and-leaf plots and dot-plots. Time is non-negotiable. It is recommended that students study 4 hours per week in Year 7 Mathematics ie 3 hours in class time and 1 hours outside class time. If a student is unable to attend a class then they should endeavour to catch up the work. Greg Walton Beaufort Secondary College 2013 Mathematics is easy, it just takes hard work.
