Read and write the x sign Understand multiplication as:

Repeated addition Describing an array Scaling ( a number of times as wide, tall…)

Understand that multiplication can be done in any order: for example, 5 x 8 = 8 x 5 but that 16 ÷ 2 is not the same as 2 ÷ 16 and use this property appropriately

Understand the principle that multiplication reverses division (multiplication is the inverse of division)

Pencil and paper procedures (subtraction)

Develop and refine written methods for subtraction, building on mental methods

Standard written methods Develop an efficient standard method that can be applied generally. For example:

Subtraction is taught by decomposition of hundreds, tens and units which will then lead to direct adjustment from the tens to the units, and then from the hundreds to the tens.

754 = 700 + 50 + 4 leading to - 86 - 80 6

= 700 + 40 + 14 (adjust from T to U) 7 414

- 80 6 - 8 6

= 600 + 140 + 14 (adjust from H to T) 61414 - 80 + 6 - 8 6

600 + 60 + 8 = 668 5 6 8 Subtract with numbers of digits. For example, find difference between: 671 and 58, 46 and 518.

Extend to decimals Using methods similar to those above, begin to find the difference between two three-digit sums of money, with or without ‘adjustment’ from the pence to the pounds. Know that decimal points should line up under each other. For example:

£8.95 - £4.38

Understanding multiplication Understand the operation of multiplication and the associated vocabulary, and its relationship to addition and division As outcomes, Year 4 pupils should, for example:

Use, read and write: Times, multiply, multiplied by, product, multiple, inverse…

Read and write the x sign Understand and use when appropriate the principles (but not the names)

of the commutative, associative and distributive laws as they apply to multiplication

Understand that 86 + 86 + 86 is equivalent to 86 x 3 or 3 x 86 Understand that multiplication by 1 leaves a number unchanged Multiplication of zero results in zero

Understand that multiplication is the inverse of division

Understanding division Understand the operation of division and the associated vocabulary, and its relation to subtraction and multiplication As outcomes, Year 4 pupils should, for example:

Use, read and write: Share, group, divide, divided by, divided into, divisible by, factor, quotient, remainder, inverse…

Read and write the division signs ÷ and / Understand the operation of division as:

Grouping or repeated subtraction Sharing equally

Understand that division by 1 leaves the number unchanged Understand that division is the inverse of multiplication Respond to questions such as:

Share 44 between (sic) 4 Divide 69 by 3. 69 divided by 3. Divide 3 into 69. How many groups of 6 can be made from 48? How many lengths of 10cm can be cut from 183cm? What are the factors of 12? Is 72 divisible by 3?

Begin to relate division and fractions Understand that ½ of 10 is the same as 10 ÷ 2; ¼ of 3 is the same as 3÷4

Complete written questions, for example: 36 ÷ 4 = 60 ÷ = 6 ÷ 3= 7

320 ÷ 4 = 240 ÷ = 60 ÷ 30 = 7 And (25 ÷ ) + 2 = 7 ( ÷ 5) – 2 = 3 Progressing to 1456 ÷ 4 = 156 ÷ = 26 ÷ 9 = 460

Understand the idea of a remainder and when to round up or down after division As outcomes, Year 4 pupils should, for example:

Give a remainder as a whole number. For example, 41 ÷ 4 is 10 remainder 1 28 = (5 x 5) + 72 ÷ 5 is 14 remainder 2 97 = (9 x 10) + 768 ÷ 100 is 7 remainder 68 327 = (3x100) +

Answer questions such as: There are 64 children in Year 5. How many teams of 6 children can be made? How many children will be left over? Divide a whole number of pounds by 2, 4, 5 or 10. For example: Four children collected £19 for charity. They each collected the same amount. How much did each one collect? (£4.75)

Make sensible decisions about rounding down or up after division. For example: 62 ÷ 8 is 7 remainder 6, but whether the answer should be rounded up to 8 or rounded down to 7 depends on the context.

Know multiplication facts by heart and derive quickly the corresponding division facts Know by heart or derive rapidly doubles and halves Use related facts and doubling or halving As outcomes, Year 4 pupils should, for example:

Derive quickly the corresponding division facts Know by heart or derive quickly:

Doubles of all numbers 1 to 50 Doubles of 10 multiples…up to 500 Doubles of 100 multiples…up to 5000 and all the corresponding halves

Use related facts and doubling or halving. For example: To multiply by 4, double and double again To multiply by 5, multiply by 10 and halve To multiply by 20, multiply by 10, then double Work out the 8 times-table facts by doubling the 4 times-table facts Work out quarters and eighths by halving

Use closely related facts already known Partition and use the distributive law Use the relationship between multiplication and addition, or multiplication and division Use known number facts and place value to multiply or divide mentally As outcomes, Year 4 pupils should, for example:

Work out the 6 times-table by adding the 2 times-table facts to the 4 times-table facts

To multiply a number by 9 or 11, multiply by 10 and then add or subtract the number

Begin to multiply a two digit number by a single-digit number, multiplying the tens first. For example:

32 x 3 = (30 x 3) + (2 x 3) = 90 + 6 = 96 Continue to recognise that knowing one of:

12 x 9 = 108 9 x 12 = 108 108 ÷ 9 = 12 108 ÷ 12 = 9 means that you also know the other three.

Recognise and use for example, 25 x 4 = 25 + 25 + 25 +25 Answer written questions

Given 14 x 6 = 84 what is 6 x 14, or 84 ÷ 6, or 84 ÷ 14? Multiply a two- or three- digit number by 10 or 100

For example: 327 x 10 54 x 100 Work mentally to complete written questions like: 96 x 100 = 82 x = 8200

Divide a four-digit multiple of 1000 by 10 or 100 Double any multiple of 5 up to 100 Halve any multiple of 10 to 200 Consolidate multiplying a two-digit multiple of 10 by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 and

begin to multiply by 6, 7, 8 or 9 Multiply a two- digit number by 2, 3, 4 or 5, crossing the tens boundary

green… Know that: one whole = 100% one quarter = 25%

one half = 50% one tenth = 10% Know that: 10% = 0.1 = 1⁄10 20% = 0.2 = 1⁄5

25% = 0.25 = ¼ 1% = 0.01= 1⁄100 50% = 0.5 = ½ 75% = 0.75 = ¾

Identify a percentage of a shape: for example, What percentage of these shapes are shaded?

Calculate questions such as:

Find: 25% of £100 30% of £1 70% of 100cm Richard got 40 marks out of 80 in his maths test. Sarah got 45%. Who did better: Richard or Sarah?

Find percentages by using halving and quartering. For example, to find 75% of £300: 50% is one half = £150

25% is one half = £75 75% is three quarters = £225

Pencil and paper procedures (addition) Develop and refine written methods for addition, building on mental methods

Standard written methods Continue to develop an efficient standard method that can be applied generally. For example: 1518 7

+ 4 7 5 1 0 6 2 Using ‘carrying’

Extend methods to numbers with at least four digits. Using similar methods, add several numbers with different numbers of digits. For example, find the total of: 58, 671, 9, 468, 2187

Extend to decimals Using the chosen method, add two or more decimal fractions with up to three digits and the same number of decimal places. Know that decimal points should line up under each other, particularly when adding or subtracting mixed amounts such as 3.2 m ± 350 cm. For example:

£6.72 + £8.56 + £2.30



Standard written methods Continue to develop an efficient standard method that can be applied generally. For example: Subtraction is taught by decomposition of hundreds, tens and units which will then lead to direct adjustment from the tens to the units, and then from the hundreds to the tens. 754 = 700 + 50 + 4 - 286 200 + 80 + 6 leading to = 700 + 40 + 14 7 4 14 200 + 80 + 6 - 2 8 6 = 600 + 140 + 14 6 1414 67145144 200 + 80 + 6 - 2 8 6 - 2 8 6 400 + 60 + 8 4 6 8 4 6 8 Subtract numbers with different numbers of digits. For example: 764 and 5821

Extend to decimals Using the chosen method, find the difference between two decimal fractions with up to three digits and the same number of decimal places. Know that decimal points should line up under each other. For example:

£9.42 - £6.78

Understanding multiplication

Understand the operation of multiplication and the associated vocabulary, and its relationship to addition and division As outcomes, Year 5 pupils should, for example:

Use and read: Times, multiply, multiplied by, product, multiple, inverse…and the x sign.

Understand and use as appropriate the principles (but not the names) of the commutative, associative and distributive laws as they apply to multiplication.

Understand that with positive whole numbers, multiplying makes a number larger.

Understand that multiplication is the inverse of division and use this to check results.

Start to use brackets: know that they determine the order of operations, and that their contents are worked out first. For example:

3 + ( 6 x 5 ) = 33, whereas (3 + 6) x 5 = 45 Respond rapidly to written questions, explaining the strategy used. For

example: Two twelves. Double 32. 7 times 8 . Multiply 31 by 8… by zero…by 1. Is 81 a multiple of 3? How do you know? What is the product of 25 and 4? Find all the different products you can make by using three of these: 6, 7, 8, 9, 11.

Complete the written questions, for example: Working rapidly, using pencil and paper jottings and/or mental strategies: 70 x 6 = 6 x 8.4 = x 7 = 0.49 Using informal and standard written methods: 46 x 28 = 14 x + 8 = 50

Using written methods work out: 132 x 46 = (14 x 60) + = 850


Use and read: Share, group, divide, divided by, divided into, divisible by, factor, quotient, remainder, inverse…

And the division signs ÷ and /. Understand the operation of division as either sharing equally or

repeated subtraction (grouping): o sharing is better for dividing by small numbers; o grouping is better for dividing by larger numbers.

Understand that: o With positive whole numbers, division makes a number smaller; o Division is non-commutative that is, 72 ÷ 9 is not the same as 9 ÷

72; o A number cannot be divided by zero.

Understand that division is the inverse of multiplication and use this to check results.

Respond to questions, explaining the strategy used. For example: Share 48 between 8 Divide 56 by 7. Divide 3 into 72. How many groups of 8 can be made from 73? How many lengths of 20cm can be cut from 270cm? What are the factors of 36? Tell me two numbers with a quotient of 100.

Relate division and fractions. Understand that: 1⁄3 of 24 is equivalent to 24 ÷ 3 or 24⁄3 16 ÷ 5 is equivalent to 16⁄5 or 3 1⁄5

Complete written questions, for example: With rapid mental recall: 63⁄7 = 56 ÷ = 8 ÷ 9 = 8 Using a pencil and paper jottings and/ or mental strategies: 172 ÷ 4 = 54⁄ = 18 ÷ 21 = 90

Use written methods to work out: (125 ÷ ) + 2 = 27 1560 ÷ = 120


Begin to give a quotient as a fraction when dividing by a whole number. For example: 43 ÷ 9 = 4 7⁄9 Begin to give a quotient as a decimal fraction: When dividing by 10, 5, 4, or 2, for example: 351 ÷ 10 = 35.1 61 ÷ 4 = 15.25

When dividing pounds and pence by a small whole number, for example: It cost 4 children a total of £5.40 to swim. What did it cost each child? (£1.35)

Decide what to do after division, and round up or down accordingly.

Make sensible decisions about rounding down or up after division. For example, 240 ÷ 52 is 4 remainder 32, but whether the answer should be rounded up to 5 or rounded down to 4 depends on the context.

Example of rounding down: I have saved £240. A train ticket to Durham is £52. 240 ÷ 52 is 4.615 384 on my calculator. I can buy 4 tickets. Example of rounding up: I have 240 cakes. One box holds 52 cakes. I will need 5 boxes to hold all the cakes.

Mental Calculation strategies (x and ÷)

Know multiplication facts by heart and derive quickly the corresponding division facts Know by heart or derive rapidly doubles and halves Use related facts and doubling or halving Use factors As outcomes, Year 5 pupils should, for example:

Know by heart multiplication up to 10 x 10, including multiplication by 0 and 1.

Derive quickly the corresponding division facts Know by heart the squares of all numbers from 1 x 1 to 10 x 10. Use and read: double, twice, half, halve, whole, divide by 2, divide into 2..

and ½ as one half. Understand that halving is the inverse of doubling: for example, if half of

72 is 36, then double 36 is 72. Know by heart or quickly derive:

Doubles of all numbers 1 to 100 Doubles of 10 multiples…up to 1000 Doubles of 100 multiples…up to 10000 and all the corresponding halves

Respond to written questions like: What is half of £71.30? How many millimetres are there in half a metre?

Complete written questions, for example: 160 x 2 = /2 = 65

Use related facts and doubling/halving. For example: Double 78 = double 70 + double 8 = 140 +16 =156

For example: Doubling a number ending in 5, and halve the other number. For example: 16 x 5 is equivalent to 8 x 10 = 80 Halving an even number in the calculation, find the product, then double it. For example:

13 x 14 13 x 7 = 91 91 x 2 = 182 To multiply by 50, multiply by 100, then halve. For example: 36 x 50 36 x 100 = 3600 3600 ÷ 2 = 1800 Work out:

1 x 25 2 x 25 4 x 25 8 x 25 16 x 25 Use combinations of these facts to work out, say, 25 x 25 = (16x 25) + (8 x 25) + (1 x 25) = 625

Explain how to find sixths by halving thirds, or twentieths by halving tenths. For example, work out mentally that:

One sixth of 300 is 50 (one third of 300 is 100, half of that is 50) Use factors. For example: 15 x 6 = 90 since 15 x 3 = 45, 45 x 2 = 90

90 ÷ 6 90 ÷ 3 = 30, 30 ÷ 2 = 15, 90 ÷ 6 = 15 To multiply a number by 19 or 21, multiply it by 20 and add or subtract

the number. For example: 13 x 21 = (13 x 20) + 13 = 260 +13 = 273


Work out the 12 times-table by adding 2 times-table facts to the 10 times-table facts.

To multiply a number by 19 or 212, multiply it by 20 and add or subtract the number.

Multiplying a two digit number by a single digit number, multiplying the tens first.

Continue to recognise that knowing one form of a number sentence, for example: 23 x 3 = 69, means that you also know the other 3 forms.

Recognise, for example, that: if 12 x 6 = 72, then 1⁄6 of 72= 12,1⁄12 of 72= 6 Multiply a two- or three-digit number by 10 or 100 Divide a four-digit multiple of 1000 by 10 or 100 Double any multiple of 5 up to 100 Halve any multiple of 10 to 200 Consolidate multiplying a two digit multiple of 10 by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 and

begin to multiply by 6, 7, 8 or 9 Multiplying a two-digit number by 2, 3, 4, or 5, crossing tens boundary.

Solving Problems


Understand and use in practical contexts: Operation, sign, symbol, number sentence, equation…

Make decisions: Choose the appropriate operation(s) to solve word problems and

number puzzles. Explain and record how the problem was solved.

From ‘number stories’ recognise/determine the statements that reflect them such as:

If 8 equal pieces are cut from 564mm of string, each piece is 70.5mm long. The number statement is 564 ÷ 8 = 70.5 What operation sign does each stand for? 319 274 = 593: 572 219 = 218


Complete calculations that have wholly or partly been done mentally, and develop use conventional notation and vocabulary to record the calculation.

For Example: 109 ÷ 21 21 x 5 = 105, plus 4 more is 109. Answer: 5 4⁄21 1⁄8 of 424 ½ of 424 = 212, and ½ of 212 = 106, and ½ of 106 = 53, so

1⁄8 of 424 = 53.

Extend to calculations that cannot entirely be done mentally. For example: 4785 + 3296: 7000 + 900 + 170 +11 = 8000 + 81 = 8081

Compare ways of recording and understanding that different ways of recording are equivalent: for example, that 176 ÷ 28 is equivalent to 176⁄28 and 28)176 .

Work towards more efficient methods of recording to support and/or explain calculations that are too difficult to do mentally.

Solve mathematical problems or puzzles, recognise simple patterns or

relationships, generalise and predict. As outcomes, Year 5 pupils should, for example:

A two-digit number is an odd multiple of 9. When its digits are multiplied,

the result is also a multiple of 9. What is the number? Find ways to complete: + + =1



Find examples that match a general statement. For example, explain and start to make general statements like:

A multiple of 6 is both a multiple of 2 and a multiple of 3. A multiple of 6 is twice the multiple of 3. A number is not a multiple of 9 if its digits do not add up to a multiple of 9. The product of two consecutive numbers is even. If you divide two different numbers the other way round, the answer is not the same. The perimeter of a regular polygon is length of side x number of sides. Angles on a straight line add up to 180o.

Express a relationship in words in writing. For example: for finding the number of months in any number of years; for finding the change from 50p for a number of chews at 4p. The rule is double the previous number, add 1. Start with 1. Write the next six numbers in the sequence. A sequence starts 1, 4, 9, 16, 25,…. Explain the rule.

Use, read and write spelling correctly: factor, divisible by, prime, prime factor… factorise…

Find all the prime factors of any number to 100. For example: the prime factors of 60 are 2, 2, 3, and 5, since 60 = 2 x 30 = 2 x 2 x 15 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5.

Recognise, for example, that since 60 is a multiple of 12, it is also a multiple of all the factors of 12.

Use factors, when appropriate, for finding products mentally: for example,

32 x 24 = 32 x 3 x 8 = 96 x 8 = 800 – ( 4 x 8) = 768 Identify numbers with an odd number of factors (squares). Identify two digit numbers with only two factors (primes). For example:

Answer questions such as: Place these numbers in order, smallest first: 2 1/

10, 1 3/10, 2 ½, 1 1

/5, 1 3/4


Relate fractions to division. For example: Understand that finding one tenth is equivalent to dividing by 10, so that 1⁄10 of 95 is equivalent to 95 ÷ 10; When 9 whole cakes are divided equally into 4, each person gets nine quarters, or 9 ÷ 4 = 9⁄4 ; Recognise that 60⁄8 is another way of writing 60 ÷ 8.

Write the decimal fraction equivalent to: two tenths, five hundredths and nine thousandths; eight and seven thousandths; sixteen and twenty-nine thousandths. Continue the pattern: 1.92, 1.94, 1.96, 1.98…. Put these in order, largest/smallest first: 7.765, 7.675, 6.765, 7.756, 6.776; and other sets involving measures.

Convert a larger metric unit to a smaller. For example, write:

3.215 km in metres (3125 metres) 1.25 litres in millimetres (1259 millimetres)

Begin to convert halves, quarters, tenths hundredths to a larger unit. For example, write: 300ml in litres (0.3 millilitres) 750g in kg (0.75 kg)

25 = 39


Give a quotient as a fraction when dividing by a whole number. For example: 90 ÷ 7 = 12 6⁄7 Begin to give a quotient as a decimal fraction: When dividing by a whole number, for example: 676 ÷ 8 = 84.5 612 ÷ 100 = 6.12

When dividing pounds and pence, for example: It cost 15 people a total of £78.75 for a theatre trip. What did it cost each one? (£5.25)

Decide what to do after division, and round up or down accordingly. Make sensible decisions about rounding down or up after division. For

example, 1000 ÷ 256 is 3.8, but whether the answer should be rounded up to 4 or rounded down to 3 depends on the context.

Example of rounding down: Dad have saved £5000. An air fare to Sydney is £865. 5000 ÷ 865 is 5.780 346 on my calculator. He can buy 5 tickets. Example of rounding up: I have 5000 sheets of paper. A box holds 865 sheets. I will need 6 boxes to hold all 5000 sheets.

Use, read and understand: place value, zero place holder, tenth, hundredth, thousandth, equivalent, equivalence….

Understand and use decimal notation and place value. Read and write any number from 0.001 and 1 000 000, knowing what each digit represents. For example, know that:

In 5.239 the digit 9 represents nine thousandths, which is written as 0.009. The number 5.239 in words is ‘five point two three nine’, not ‘five point two hundred and thirty-nine’. The fraction 5 239⁄1000 is read as ‘five and two hundred and thirty-nine thousandths’.

Know the significance of 0 in 0.35, 3.05, 3.50 and so on. Know that decimals used in context may be spoken in different ways.

For example: 1.56 is written in mathematics as ‘one point five six’. £1.56 is written as ‘one pound fifty-six’.

£1.06 is written as ‘one pound and six pence’. £0.50 is written as ‘’fifty pence’. 1.56km is sometimes written as ‘one kilometre, five hundred and sixty metres’. 3.5 hours can be written as ‘three and a half hours’ or ‘three hours and thirty minutes’.

Four hundred and three thousand, and seventeen. Match the words with these figures: 4.236, 0.5, 35.08… Match these words to the decimal the fraction six, and two hundred and forty-three thousandths. Make the largest and smallest number you can using: The digits 2, 0, 3, 4; The digits 2, 0, 3, 4, and a decimal point.

Add or subtract 0.1 and 0.01 to or from any number. Count forwards or backwards from any number. For example: Count on in 0.1s from 4.5 Count back from 23.5 in 0.1s. Count on in 0.01s from 4.05. Answer questions such as: What is 0.1 less than 2.0? What is 0.01 more than 2.09? What needs to be added or subtracted to change: 27.48 to 37.48, 27.48 to 27.38, 5.032 to 5.302?

Multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1000. Understand the effects of multiplying or dividing a number by 10, 100,

1000. In particular, recognise that:

Multiplying a positive number by 10, 100, 1000.. has the effect of increasing the value of that number. Dividing a positive number by 10, 100, 1000… has the effect of decreasing the value of that number. When a number is multiplied by 10, the digits move one place to the left: 3 4 . 1 2 34.12 multiplied by 10 = 341.2 3 4 1 . 2 When a number is divided by 10 , the digits move one place to the right. 3 4 . 1 2 34.1 divided by 10 = 3.41 3 . 4 1 2

Complete statements such as: 4 x 10 = 4 x = 400 4 ÷ 10 = 4 ÷ = 0.04 0.4 x 10 = 0.4 x = 400

0.4 ÷ 10 = 0.4 ÷ = 0.004 ÷ 100 = 0.04 ÷ 10 = 40 x 1000 = 40 000 x 10 = 400

Link to converting mm to cm and m, cm to m, m to km…

Compare and order decimals As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Use, read and understand: decimal number, decimal fraction, less than, greater than, between order, compare, digit, most/least significant digit… And use accurately these symbols: =, ≠, <, >, ≤, ≥.

Know that to order decimals, digits in the same position must be compared, working from the left, beginning with the first non-zero digit. In these examples, the order is determined by:

0.325 < 0.345 the second decimal place; 3.18 km >3.172 the second decimal place; 0.42 < 0.54 the first decimal place; 5.4 < 5.6 < 5.65 the first decimal place initially, then the second decimal place.

Know that when comparing measures it is necessary to convert all measures into the same units. For example:

Order these measurements, starting with the smallest: 5kg, 500g, 0.55kg 45cm, 1.23m, 0.96m £3.67, £3.71, 39p

Identify and estimate decimal fractions on a number line and find a number between two others by looking at the next decimal place. For example: Find the number that is half way between two:

3 and 4, 0.3 and 0.4, -3 and 4 and -4 and 3. Use accurately the symbols <, >, ≥, ≤. For example:

Place < or > between these: 12.45 12.45 -6oC -7oC

Round numbers, including to a given number of decimal places

Use and read and understand Round, nearest, to one decimal (1 d.p.)… approximately…

Round positive whole numbers to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000, What is the volume of the liquid in the measuring cylinder to the nearest 10ml? What is the mass of the flour to the nearest 100 grams?

Round decimals to the nearest whole number or to one decimal place. When rounding a decimal to a whole number, know that: If these are 5 or more tenths, then the number is rounded up to the next whole number; otherwise, the whole number is left unchanged; Decimals with more than one decimal place are not first rounded to one decimal place, eg. 7.48 to 7, not to 7.5 then rounds to 8.

When rounding a decimal such as 3.96 to one decimal place, know that the answer is 4.0, not 4, because the zero in the first decimal place is significant.

For example: 4.48 rounded to the nearest whole number is 4. 4.58 rounded to the nearest whole number is 5, and rounded to one decimal place is 4.6. 4.97 rounded to the nearest whole number is 5. 4.97 rounded to one decimal place is 5.0. Answer questions such as Round 5.28: a. To the nearest whole number; b. To one decimal place.

Understand percentage as the number of parts per 100; recognise the equivalence of fractions, decimals and percentages; calculate percentages and use them to solve problems As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Understand percentage as the number of parts in every hundred, and express a percentage as an equivalent fraction or decimal. For example:

Convert percentages to fractions by writing them as the number of parts per 100, then cancelling. For example:

60% is equivalent to 60⁄100 = 3⁄5 ; 150% is equivalent to 150⁄100 = 3⁄2.

Convert percentages to decimals by writing them as the number of parts per 100, then using knowledge of place value to write the fraction as a decimal. For example:

135% is equivalent to 135 ÷ 100 = 1.35 Recognise the equivalence of fractions, decimals and percentages. Know decimal and percentage equivalents of simple fractions, For example, know that 1 ≡ 100%. Use this to show that:

1⁄10 = 0.1 which is equivalent to 10% 1⁄100= 0.01 which is equivalent to 1% 1⁄8 = 0.125 which is equivalent to 12.5% 1 ¾ = 1.75 which is equivalent to 175%

1⁄3 = 0.333.. which is equivalent to 331⁄3% Express simple fractions and decimals as equivalent percentages by

using equivalent fractions. For example: 3⁄5 = 60⁄100 which is equivalent to 60%; 7⁄20 = 35⁄100 which is equivalent to 35%; 23⁄4 = 275⁄100 which is equivalent to 275%; 0.48 = 48⁄100 which is equivalent to 48%; 0.3 = 30⁄100 which is equivalent to 30%.

Calculate percentages of numbers, quantities and measurements. Know that 10% of equivalent to 1/10 = 0.1, and 5% is half of 10%. Use mental methods. For example, find:

10% of £20 by dividing by 10; 10% of 37g by dividing by 10; 5% of £5 by finding 10% and then halving; 100% of 5 litres by knowing that 100% represents the whole; 15% of 40 by finding 10% then 5% and adding the results

together. Use informal written methods. For example, find:

11% of £2800 by calculating 10% and 1% as jottings, and adding the results together.

70% of 130g by calculating 10% and multiplying this by 7 as jottings; or by calculating 50% and 20% as jottings and adding the results.

Use, read and understand: change, total, value amount, sale price, discount, decrease, increase, convert….

Begin to recognise percentages as a way to analyse data from everyday contexts.

Answer questions such as: 12% of a 125g pot of yoghurt is whole fruit. How many grams are not whole fruit? 48% of the pupils at a school are girls. 25% of the girls and of the boys travel to school by bus. What is the percentage of the whole school travels by bus?

Use proportions to interpret pie charts. For example: Some people were asked which fruit they liked best. This chart shows the results.

Estimate: a. the percentages of the people that liked oranges best; b. the proportion that liked apples best; c. the percentage that did hot chose pears.

Understand the relationship between ratio and proportion, and use ratio and proportion to solve simple problems As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Use read and understand ratio, proportion… And the notation 3 : 2

Proportion compares part to whole, and is usually expressed as a fraction, decimal or percentage.

Solve problems such as: Tina and Fred each have some Smarties in a jar. The table shows how many Smarties they have, and how many of these Smarties are red.

Number of Smarties Number of red Smarties Tina 440 40 Fred 540 45

Who has the great proportion of red smarties? Use direct proportion in simple contexts.

Three bars of chocolate costs 90p. How much will six bars cost? And twelve bars?

Understand the idea of a ratio and use ratio notation. Ratio compares part to part. For example:

If Lee and Ann divide £100 in the ratio 2 : 3, Lee gets 2 parts and Ann gets 3 parts. 1 part is £100 ÷ 5 = £20. So Lee gets £20 x 2 = £40 and Ann gets £20 x 3 = £60.

Know that the ratio 3 : 2 is not the same as 2 : 3. Simplify a (two part) ratio to an equivalent ratio by cancelling, e.g.

Which of these ratios is equivalent to 3 : 12? A. 3:1 B. 9:36 C: 3:6 D. 1:3

Understand the relationship between ratio and proportion, and relate them both to everyday situations.

Divide a quantity into two parts in a given ratio and solve simple problems using informal strategies.

Calculations

Number operations and the relationship between them Consolidate understanding of the operations of multiplication and division, their relationship to each other and to addition and subtraction; know how to use the laws of arithmetic As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Use, read and understand: operation, commutative, inverse, add, subtract, multiply, divide, sum, total, difference, product, multiply, divide, sum, total, difference, product, multiple, factor, quotient, divisor, remainder..

Understand addition, subtraction, multiplication and division as they apply to whole numbers and decimals.

Multiplication Understand that: Multiplication is equivalent to and is more efficient than repeated addition. Because multiplication involves fewer calculations than addition, it is likely to be carried out more accurately.

Understand the effect of multiplying by 0 or 1. Division Recognise that:

910 ÷ 13 can be interpreted as ‘How many 13s in 910?’, and calculate by repeatedly subtracting 13 from 910, or convenient multiples of 13.

Division by zero is not allowed.

A quotient (the result obtained after division) can be expressed as a remainder, a fraction or as a decimal, e.g.

90 ÷ 13 = 6 R12 Or 90 ÷ 13 = 6 12⁄13

Or 90 ÷ 13 = 6.92 (2 d.p.) Know how to use the laws of arithmetic to support efficient and

accurate mental and written calculations. (commutative law, associative law, and the distributive law)

Inverses Understand that addition is the inverse of subtraction and multiplication

is the inverse of division. For example: Fill in the missing number: ( x 4) ÷ 8 = 5.

Know and use the order of operations, including brackets As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Use, read an understand: order of operations, brackets…

Know the conventions that apply when evaluating expressions: Contents of brackets are evaluated first. In the absence of brackets, multiplication and division take precedence over subtraction and addition. A horizontal line acts as a bracket in expressions such as:

5 + 6 or a + b 2 5 Brackets Powers or indices Multiplication (including ‘of’) and division

Addition and subtraction With strings of multiplication and divisions, or strings of addition and

subtractions, and no brackets, the convention is to work from left to right. Calculate with mixed operations. For example:

Find mentally: a. 16 ÷ 4 + 8 = 12 b. 16 + 8 ÷ 4 = 18 c. 14 x 7 + 8 x 11 = 186 d. 100 = 5

4 x 5 e. 32 +13 x 5 = 97 f. (32 + 42)2 =625 g. (52 – 7)/ (22 -1) = 6

In algebra recognise that, for example, when a = 4,

3a2 = 3 x 42 = 3 x 16 = 48

Mental methods and rapid recall of number facts Consolidate the rapid recall of number facts and use known facts to derive unknown facts As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Addition and subtraction facts Know with rapid recall addition and subtraction facts to 20.

Complements Derive quickly: Whole number complements in 100 and 50, e.g. 100 = 63 + 47 50 = -17 + 67 Decimal complements in 1 (one or two decimal places)

e.g. 1 = 0.8 + 0.2, 1 = 0.41 +0.59 Doubles and halves

Derive quickly: Doubles in two digit numbers including decimals, Doubles of multiples of 10 to 1000, Doubles of multiples of 100 to 10 000,

and all corresponding halves. Multiplication and division facts

Calculate mentally: 42 + 9 (4 + 3)2 42 + 52 52 – 7 √(9 +7) √(40 -22) What is the fourth square number?

Solve mentally: 3a = 15 x2 = 49 n(n +1) = 12

Measurements

Recall and use formulae for: the perimeter and area of a rectangle. Calculate simple examples mentally.

Recall: Relationships between units of time; Relationships between metric units of length, mass and capacity (eg. Between km, m, cm and mm).

Convert between units of measurement. For example: Convert 38cm into mm. Convert 348p into pounds. Convert 45 minutes into seconds.

Consolidate and extend mental methods of calculation, accompanied where appropriate by suitable jottings As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Strategies for mental addition and subtraction Count forwards and backwards from any number.

For example: Count on in 0.1s from 4.5. Count back from 4.05 in 0.01s. Count on from and back to zero in steps of ¾.

Identify positions of 0.1s and 0.01s on a number line. Add and subtract several small numbers.

For example: 4 + 8 + 12 + 6 + 13 5 – 4 + 8 – 10 - 7

Extend to adding and subtracting several small multiples of 10: 40 + 30 + 20 60 + 50 - 30

Continue to add and subtract any pair of two-digit whole numbers, such as 76 + 58, 91 – 47. Extend to: Adding and subtracting a two digit whole number to or from a three-digit whole number;

Adding and subtracting decimals such as: 8.6 ± 5.7 0.76 ± 0.58 0.82 ± 1.5 By considering 86 ± 57 76 ± 58 82 ± 150

Partition and deal with the most significant digits first. For example:

426 + 65 = (426 + 60) + 5 = 486 + 5 = 491 14.3 – 5.5 = 14.3 – 5 -0.3 – 0.2 = 9 – 0.2 =8.8

Find a difference by counting up from the smaller to the larger number. For example:

8013 – 4875 = 25 + 100 + 3000 + 13 = 3138

Use compensation, by adding or subtracting too much, and then compensating. For example: 4.7 + 2.9 = 4.7 + 3 -0.1 = 7.7 – 0.1 = 7.6 530 – 276 = 530 – 300 +24 = 230 + 24 = 254

Recognise special cases. For example: Near doubles

8.5 + 8.2 = 16.7 (double 8.2 plus 0.3) 427 + 366 = 793 (double 400 plus 27 minus 34)

‘Nearly’ numbers Add and subtract near 10s and near 100s by adding or subtracting a multiple of 10 or 100 and adjusting. For example: 48 + 39 84 – 29 92 + 51 70 – 51 76 + 88 113 - 78 427 + 103 925 - 402 586 + 278 350 -289

Use the relationship between addition and subtraction. For example, recognise that knowing one of: 2.4 + 5.8 = 8.2 5.8 + 2.4 = 8.2 8.2 – 5.8 = 2.4 8.2 – 2.4 = 5.8

means that you also know the other three. Strategies for multiplication and division Use factors. For example

3.2 x 30 3.2 x 10 = 32 32 x 3 = 96

Use partitioning. For example: For multiplication, partition either part of the product:

7.3 x 11 = (7.3 x 10) + 7.3 = 73 + 7.3 = 80.3

For division, partition the dividend (the number that is to be divided by another):

430 ÷ 13 400 ÷ 13 = 30 R 10 30 ÷ 13 = 2 R 4

430 ÷ 13 = 32 R 14 = 33 R 1

Recognise special cases where doubling or halving can be used. For example:

To multiply by 50, first multiply by 100 and then divide by 2. Double one number and halve the other. For example: 6 x 4.5 3 x 9 = 27

Use the relationship between multiplication and division. For example, knowing one of these facts means you also know the other three.

Recall of fraction, decimal and percentage facts Know and derive quickly:

Simple decimal/fraction/percentage equivalents, such as:

¼ = 0.25 or 25% 0.23 is equivalent to 23% Simple addition facts for the fractions, such as: ¼ + ¼ = ½ ¼ + ½ = ¾ Some simple equivalent fractions for ¼ and ½, such as: ½ = 2⁄4 = 3⁄6

= 4⁄8 = 5⁄10

= 50⁄100 ¼ = 2⁄8 = 3⁄12 = 4⁄16 = 5⁄20 = 25⁄100

Strategies for finding equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages For example:

Convert 1⁄8 into a decimal. (Know that ¼ = 0.25 so 1⁄8 is 0.25 ÷ 2 = 0.125.) Express 3⁄5 as a percentage. (Know that 3⁄5 = 6⁄10 or 60⁄100, so it is equivalent to 60%.) Express 23% as a fraction and as a decimal. (Know that 23% is equivalent to 23⁄100 or 0.23.) Express 70% as a fraction in its lowest terms. (Know that 70% is equivalent to 70⁄100, and cancel this to 7⁄10.)

Use known facts such as 1/5 = 0.2 to convert fractions to decimals mentally. For example:

3⁄5 = 0.2 x 3 = 0.6 Find simple equivalent fractions.

For example: State three fractions equivalent to 3⁄5, such as: 6⁄10, 30⁄50, 24⁄40

Fill in the boxes: ¾ = ⁄8 = ⁄12 = ⁄16 = ⁄20 7⁄ = 21⁄30

Strategies for calculating fractions and percentages of whole numbers and quantities. For example:

1/8 of 20 = 2.5 (e.g. find one quarter, halve it) 75% of 24 = 18 (e.g. find 50% then 25% and add the results) 15% of 40 (e.g. find 10% then %% and add the results) 40% of 400kg (e.g. find 10% them multiply by 4) 60 pupils go to the gym club. 25% of them are girls. How many are boys.

Word problems and puzzles (all four operations) Apply mental skills to solving simple problems, using jottings if

appropriate. For example: Pencils cost 37p each. How many can you buy with £3.70? A 55g bag of crisps has 20% less fat. How much fat is that? A boy saved £215. He bought a Walkman for £69. How much money did he have left? A girl used 2 metres of wood to make 5 identical shelves. How long was each shelf?

Sandy and Michael dug a neighbour’s garden. They were paid £32 to share for their hours of work. Sandy worked for 6 hours. Michael worked for 2 hours. How much should Sandy get paid? The mean of a, b, and c is 6. a is 5 and b is 11. What is c? Tony, David and Estelle are playing a team game. They need to get a mean of 75 points to win. Tony scores 63 points, Estelle scores 77 points and David scores 77 points. Have they scored enough points to win? What is the value of 6n + 3 when n = 2.5?

Solve problems or puzzles such as: Choose from 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to place in the boxes. In any question, you cannot use a number more than once. a. - + = 5 b. + - = 4 c. x - = 3

Written methods Use efficient column methods for addition and subtraction of whole numbers, and extend to decimals


Continue to use and refine efficient methods for column addition and subtraction, while maintaining accuracy and understanding. Extend to decimals with up to two decimal places, including:

sums and differences with different numbers of digits; totals of more than two numbers.

For example: 671.7 – 60.2 543.65 + 45.8 764.78 – 56.4 76.56 + 312.2 + 5.07

Equation, formulae and identities Use the letter symbols and distinguish their different roles in algebra

Algebra


Use, read and understand… algebra, unknown, symbol, variable.. equals… brackets… evaluate, simplify, substitute, solve… term, expression, equation… squared… commutative…

Reinforce the idea of an unknown. Answer questions such as:

5 + � = 17 3 x � - 5 = 7

Know that letters are used to stand for numbers in algebra. Begin to distinguish between different uses of letters. For example:

In the equation 3n + 2 = 11, n is a particular unknown number, but in the equation a + b =12, a and b can take many different values.

Recognise algebraic conventions, such as: 3 x n or n x 3 can be thought of as ‘3 lots of n’ or n + n + n, and can be shortened to 3n. In the expression 3n, n can take any value, but when the value of an expression is known, an equation is formed, i.e. If 3n is 18, then the equation is written as 3n = 18.

Understand the meaning of and begin to use simple expressions with brackets, e.g. 3(n + 2) meaning 3 x (n + 2), where the addition operation is to be performed first and the result of this is then multiplied by 3.

Use the equals sign appropriately and correctly. Recognise that if a = b then b = a, and that a + b = c can also be written as c = a + b. Avoid errors arising on from misuse of the sign when setting out the steps in a calculation, e.g. in correctly writing 38 + 29 = 38 + 30 = 68 – 1 = 67

Use letter symbols to write expressions in meaningful contexts. For example:

Add 7 to a number n + 7 Subtract 4 from a number n – 4 4 minus a number 4 – n A number multiplied by (n x 2) + 5 or 2n + 5 2 and then 5 added A number divided by 2 n ÷ 2 or n/2 A number plus 7 and (n + 7) x 10 or 10(n + 7) then multiplied by 10 a number multiplied by itself n x n or n2

Understand the difference between expressions such as: 2n and n + 2 3(c + 5) and 3c + 5 n2 and 2n 2n2 and (2n)2

Know that algebraic operations follow the same conventions and order as arithmetic operations; use index notation and the index laws As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Know that algebraic operations follow the same conventions and order as arithmetic operations.

Begin to generalise from arithmetic that multiplication and division have precedence over addition and subtraction. For example:

In the expression 2 + 5a, the multiplication is to be performed first. Know that the commutative and associative laws apply to algebraic

expressions as the do to arithmetic expressions, so: 2 + 3 = 3 + 2 a + b = b + a 2 x 3 = 3 x 2 a x b = b x a 2 x (3 x 4) = (2 x 3) x 4 a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c 2 x (3 x 4) = (2 x 3) x 4 a x (b x c) = (a x b) x c Or a(bc) = (ab)c

Inverses Understand addition and subtraction as the inverse of each other, and

multiplication and division as the inverse of each other. Generalise from arithmetic that:

a + b = 5 implies b + a = 5, using the commutative law, and the corresponding inverse relationships 5 – b = a and 5 – a = b. Similarly, a x b = 24 implies that b x a = 24, b = 24/a and a = 24/b. Verify by substituting suitable sets of numbers.

Begin to apply inverse operations when two successive operations are involved. For example:

The inverse of multiplying by 6 and add on 4. The answer is 34. What was the original number?

Alternatively: I think of a number, multiply by 6 and add on 4. The answer is 34. What was the original number?

Simplify or transform algebraic expressions

As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example: Simplify linear expressions by collecting like terms; begin to multiply a

single term over a bracket. Understand that partitioning a number helps to break a multiplication into a

series of steps. For example: By partitioning 38, 38 x 7 becomes (30 + 8) x 7 = 30 x 7 + 8 x 7 Generalise, from this and similar examples, to: (a + b) x c = (a x c) + (b x c) or ac +bc

Recognise that letters stand for numbers in problems. For example: Simplify expressions such as: a. a + a + a = 3a b. b + 2b + b = 4b c. x + 6 + 2x = 3x +6 d. 3n + 2n = 5n e. 3(n + 2) = 3n + 6

And a/a = 1, 2a/a = 2, …. And 4a/2 = 2a, 6a/2 = 3a, etc.

The number in each cell is the result of adding the numbers in the two cells beneath it. Write an expression for the number in the top cell. Write you expression as simply as possible.

Construct and solve linear equations, selecting an appropriate method


Use, read and understand: equation, solution, unknown, solve, verify, prove, therefore (∴).

Construct and solve simple linear equations with integer coefficients, the unknown on one side only.

Choose a suitable unknown and form expressions leading to an equation. Solve the equation by using inverse operations or other mental or written methods.

For example: I think of a number, subtract 7 and the answer is 16. What is my number? Let n be the number. n – 7 = 16

∴ n = 16 + 7 = 23 In this diagram, the number in each cell is formed by adding the two numbers above it. What is n?

n + 31

I think of a number, multiply it by 6 and add 1. The answer is 37. What is my number? Solve the equations: a. a + 5 = 12 b. 3m = 18 c. 7h – 3 =20 d. 7 = 5 + 2z

Explore ways of constructing simple equations to express relationships, and begin to recognise equivalent statements. For example:

Recognise that statements such as B – C = 3 and B = C + 3 express the same relationship in different ways.

Use formulae from mathematics and other subjects

Substitute positive integers into simple linear expressions.

For example: Substitute positive integer values into: x + y – z 3(x + y) 20/x 9y – x 2(8 – x) x/2 – 6

The expression 3s + 1 gives the number of matches needed to make a row of s squares. How many matches are needed to make a row of 13 squares?

Explain the meaning of and substitute integers into formulae expressed in words, or partly in words, such as:

Number of days = 7 times the number of weeks Cost = price of one item x number of items Pence = number of pounds x 100 Cost of petrol for a journey = cost per litre x number of litres

used. Progress to substituting into formulae such as:

Conversion of centimetres c to metres m: m = c ÷ 100

The perimeter P of a rectangle length l and width w: A = lw

Derive simple algebraic expressions and formulae. Check for correctness by substituting particular values.

For example: You have p pencils. a.Rashida has twice as many pencils as you have. How many pencils does Rashida have? b. You give away 2 pencils. How many pencils do you have left? c. Rashida shares her pencils equally between herself and 4 other friends. How many pencils do they each get?

Derive formulae such as: The number of 1-metre square concrete slabs that will surround a rectangular ornamental pond that is 1 metre wide and m metres long: s = 2m + 6

Sequences and functions Describe sequences As outcomes, Year7 pupils should, for example:

Use read and understand: Sequence, term, nth term, consecutive, rule, relationship, generate, predict, continue… increase, decrease… finite, infinite….

Know that:

o A number sequence is a set of numbers in a given order. o Each number in a sequence is called a term. o Terms next to each other are called consecutive and are often

separated by commas, e.g. 6, 8, 10 and 12 are consecutive terms in a sequence of even numbers.

Know that a sequence can have a finite of an infinite number of terms. Describe simple integer sequences and relate them to geometrical

patterns. For example: Odds and evens, multiples of 3, square numbers, triangular numbers.

Find the nth term, justifying its form by referring to the context in which it was generated

As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example: Generate sequences from simple practical contexts. For example:

Find the first few terms of the sequence. Describe how it continues by reference to the context. Begin to describe the general term, first using words, then symbols; justify the generalisation by referring to the context.

For example: Growing matchstick squares

Numbers of squares 1 2 3 4 … Numbers of matchsticks 4 7 10 13 …

Justify the pattern by explaining that the first square needs 4 matches, then 3 matches for each additional square, or you need 3 matches for every square plus an extra one for the first square.

In the nth arrangement there are 3n + 1 matches. Begin to find a simple rule tor the nth term of some simple

sequences. For example: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 … nth term is six times n. 9, 19, 29, 39, 49 … nth term is 10 times n minus 1.

Express functions and represent mappings As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Use, read and understand: input, output, rule, function, function machine, mapping…

Express simple functions at first in words then using symbols. For example:

Explore simple function machines by: finding outputs (y) for different inputs (x); finding inputs for different outputs. For example:

x multiply add 8 y by 2

What input gives an output of 40? Describe the effect of this fraction machine as x x 2 + 8 = y.

Given inputs and outputs, find the function. For example: Find the rule (single machine) 2, 1, 7, 4 8, 4, 28, 16

Explore inverse operations to find the input given the output. Given the output, find the input for a particular machine:

? subtract 6 multiply by 6 9, 3, 15, 6

Begin to recognise some properties of simple functions.

A function can be sometimes expressed in more than one way. A function can sometimes be expressed more simply. A function can often be inverted.

Graphs and functions Generate points and plot graphs of functions As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Use, read and understand: coordinates, coordinate pair/point, x-coordinate… grid, origin, axis, axes, x-axis… variable, straight line graph, equation (of a graph)…

Generate and plot pairs of coordinates that satisfy a simple linear relationship. For example:

y = x + 1 (0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4) …. Complete the table of values that satisfy the rule y = x + 2:

x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 y = x + 2 -1 0

Plot the points on a coordinate grid. Begin to consider the features of graphs of simple linear functions, where

y is given explicitly in terms of x.

?

Recognise and interpret graphs such as: y = x, y = 2x, y = 3x, y = 4x, y = 5x Note that graphs that are of the form y = mx: - are all straight lines which pass through the origin; - vary in steepness, depending on the function; - match the graphs of multiples, but are continuous lines rather

than discrete points. Identify graphs such as:

y = x + 1, y = 10 – x Note the positive or negative slope of the graph and the intercept points with the axes. Make connections with the value of the constant term.

Interpret linear functions arising from real-life problems and plot and interpret their corresponding graphs As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Begin to interpret graphs of linear functions. In interpreting graphs of functions:

Read values from a graph; Say whether intermediate points have any practical significance; Say how the variables are related, e.g. they increase together.

For example: Some pupils put a lighted candle under jars of different sizes. The jars varied from 200cm3 to 500cm3 in volume. They timed how long the candle took to go out.

About how long would it take for a candle in a 450cm3 jar to go out? a. 15 seconds b. 22 seconds c. 27 seconds d. 25 seconds Which of the four sentences below best describes the relationship between the volume of the jar and the time it takes for the candle to go out? A. The greater the volume, the shorter the time for the candle to go out. B. The biggest jar kept the candle going longest. C. As the volume of the jar increases, so the time the candle burns gets

longer. D. The candle went out most quickly under the smallest jar.

Shape, Space and measures

Geometric reasoning: lines, angles and shapes Use accurately the vocabulary, notation and labelling conventions for lines, angles and shapes; distinguish between conventions, facts, definitions and derived properties As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Use, read and understand: line segment, line… parallel, perpendicular…. plane… horizontal, vertical, diagonal… adjacent, opposite… point, intersect, intersection…. vertex, vertices… side… angle, degree (o) … acute, obtuse, reflex… vertically opposite angles… base angles…

Use accurately the notation and labelling conventions for lines, angles and shapes.

Understand that a straight line can be considered to have infinite length and no measurable width, and that a line segment AB has end-points A and B.

Know that: Two straight lines in a plane (a flat surface) can cross once or are parallel; if they cross, they are said to intersect, and the point at which they cross is an intersection. When two line segments meet at a point, the angle formed is the measure of rotation of one of the line segments to the other. The angle can be described as ∠DEF or DÊF or ∠E.

A polygon is a 2D or a plane shape constructed from line segments enclosing a region. The line segments are called sides; the ends are called vertices. The polygon is named according to the number of its sides, vertices or angles: triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon…

Know the labelling convention for: Triangles- capital letters for the vertices (going round in order, clockwise or anti-clockwise) and corresponding lower-case letters for each opposite side, the triangle them being described as

ABC; Equal sides and parallel sides in diagrams. AB = AC AB is parallel to DC, AB//DC AD is parallel to BC, AD//BC.

Identify properties of angles and parallel and perpendicular lines, and use these properties to solve problems


Identify parallel and perpendicular lines. Recognise parallel and perpendicular lines in the environment, and in 2D

and 3D shapes: for example, rail tracks, side edges of doors, ruled lines on a page, double yellow lines…

Know the sum of angles at a point, on a straight line and in a triangle, and recognise vertically opposite angles and angles on a straight line.

Give sufficient information, calculate: -angles in a straight line and at a point; -the third angle of a triangle; -the base angles of an isosceles triangle.

Identify and use the geometric properties of triangles, quadrilaterals and other polygons to solve problems; explain and justify inferences and deductions using mathematical reasoning


Use, read and understand: polygon, regular, irregular, convex, concave… circle, triangle, isosceles, equilateral, scalene, right-angled, quadrilateral, square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezium, kite, delta…. and names of other polygons.

Use 2-D representations, including plans and elevations, to visualise 3-D shapes and deduce some of their properties As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example: Use read and understand: 2-D, 3-D, cube, cuboid, pyramid, tetrahedron, prism, cylinder, sphere, hemisphere… face, vertex, vertices, edge… net.. Use 2-D representations and oral descriptions to visualise 3-D shapes and deduce some of their properties. For example:

-Imagine you have two identical cubes. Place them together, matching face to face. Name and describe the new solid. How many faces, edges, vertices….? -Imagine cutting off a corner of a cube. Describe the new face. How many faces, edges and vertices does the new solid have?

-On a six-sided dice, the faces are numbered from 1 to 6, and the opposite faces should add up to 7. Here is a net for a cube. Choose a face and write 5 on it. Now write numbers on the other faces so that when the cube is folded up, opposite faces add up to 7. A piece of card is viewed from different angles against the light. Which of the following are possible views of the square card? Which are impossible?

Transformations Understand and use language and notation associated with reflections, translations and rotations Recognise and visualise transformations and symmetries of shapes

Use read and understand; transformation… image, object, congruent… reflection, mirror line, line of symmetry, line of symmetry, reflection symmetry, symmetrical.. translation… rotate, rotation, rotation symmetry, order of rotation symmetry, centre of rotation….

Reflection Understand reflection in two dimensions as a transformation of a plane in

which points are mapped to images in a mirror line or axes of reflection, such that:

The mirror line is the perpendicular bisector of the line joining point A to the image A; The image is the same distance behind the mirror as the original is in front of it.

Know that a reflection has these properties: Points on the mirror line do not change their position after reflection, i.e. reflection which maps A to A’ also maps A’ to A, i.e. reflection is a self-inverse transformation.

Reflect a shape in a line along one side. For example:

Reflect each shape in the dotted line. What is the name of the resulting quadrilateral? Which angles and which sides are equal?

Construct the reflections of shapes in mirror lines placed at different angles relative to the shape. For example:

F A

F A N S N S

Which shape appears not to have changed after a reflection?

In this diagram below describe why the rectangle R’ is not the reflection of R in the line L.

L

Reflection symmetry Know that if a line can be found such that one half of a shape reflects to

the other, then the shape has the reflection symmetry, and the line is called a line of symmetry. Recognise:

reflection symmetry in familiar shapes such as isosceles triangle, a rectangle, a rhombus, a regular hexagon…

lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes; shapes with no lines of symmetry.

For example: Identify the lines of symmetry in this pattern.

Rotation Understand rotation in two dimensions as a transformation of a plane in

which points (such as A) are mapped to images (A’) by turning about a fixed point in the plane, called the centre of rotation.

tion

A rotation is specified by a centre of rotation and an (anticlockwise)

angle of rotation. Know that a rotation has these properties:

The centre of rotation can be inside or outside the shape and its position remains fixed throughout the rotation.

The inverse of any rotation is either: a. an equal rotation about the same point in the opposite

direction, or b. a rotation about the same point in the same direction,

same that the two rotations have a sum of 360o. Rotate shapes anticlockwise about (0, 0) through right angles and

simple fractions of a turn. Rotate shapes about points other than (0, 0).

Know that: A 2-D shape has rotation symmetry of order n when n is the largest positive integer for which a rotation of 360o ÷ n produces an identical looking shape in the same position. The order of rotation symmetry is the number of ways the shape will map on to itself in a rotation of 360o. For example: This shape has rotation symmetry of order 8 because it maps onto itself eight distinct positions under rotations of 45o about the centre point.

Solve problems such as: Identify the centre of rotation in a shape with rotation symmetry, such as an equilateral triangle.

Translations Understand translation as a transformation of a plane in which points

(such as A and B) are mapped on to images (A’ and B’) by moving a specified direction.

Know that when describing a translation, it is essential to state either the direction and distance or, with reference to a coordinate grid, the moves parallel to the x-axis and parallel to the y-axis.

Know that a translation has these properties: The orientations of the original and the image are the same. The inverse of any translation is an equal move in the opposite direction.

Translate shapes on a coordinate grid, e.g. 4 units to the right, 2 units down, then 3 units to the left. Determine which two instructions are equivalent to the three used.

Coordinates Use coordinates in all four quadrants As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Use read and understand.. row, column, coordinates, origin, x-axis, y-axis… position, direction… intersecting, intersection

Read and plot points using coordinates in all four quadrants. Given a set of points discover the shape they form.

Plot points determined by geometric information. The points (-3, 1) and (2, 1) are two points of the four vertices of a rectangle. Suggest coordinates of the other two vertices. Find the perimeter and area of the rectangle.. Plot these three points: (1, 3), (-2, 2), (-1, 4). What fourth point will make: a. a kite b. a parallelogram c. an arrowhead?

Measures and mensuration Use units of measurement to measure estimate, calculate and solve problems in a range of contexts; convert between metric units. As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Use and read names and abbreviations of: Standard metric units

Millimetre (mm), centimetre (cm), metre (m), kilometre (km) Gram (g), kilogram (kg) Millilitre (ml), centilitre (cl), litre (l) Square millimetre (mm2), square centimetre (cm2 ), square metre (m2), and square kilometre (km2)..

Units of temperature, time and angle Degree Celsius (oC) Seconds (s), minute (min), hour (h), day, week, month, year, Degree (o)

Know relationships between units of a particular measure, e.g. 1kg = 1000g

Convert one metric unit to another. Know the relationship between metric units in common use and how

they are derived from the decimal system. For example: 1000 100 10 1 0.1 0.01 0.001 km - - m - cm mm 8 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 3 7

8km = 8000m 4m = 4000mm 37cm = 0.37m 230mm=0.23m

Understand that for the same measurement in two different units; If the unit is smaller, the number of units will be greater; If the unit is bigger, the number of units will be smaller.

Change a larger unit to a smaller one. For example: Change 36 centilitres into millilitres. Change 0.89km into metres. Change 0.56 litres into millilitres.

Change a smaller unit to a larger one. For example: Change 750g into kilograms. Change 237 ml into litres. Change 3 cm into metres. Change 4 mm into centimetres.

Read and interpret scales on a range of measuring instruments, with appropriate accuracy, including:

Vertical scales, e.g. thermometer, tape measure, ruler, measuring cylinder… Scales around a circle or semicircle, e.g. for measuring time, mass, angle….

Solve problems involving length, area, capacity, mass time and angle, rounding measurements to an appropriate degree of accuracy.

Extend the range of measures used to angle measure and bearings, and compound measures

Angle measure Use and read:

angle, degree (o), right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle, reflex angle…

Use angle measure; distinguish between and estimate the size of acute, obtuse and reflex angles.

Know that: An angle less than 90o is an acute angle. An angle between 90o and 180 o is an obtuse angle. An angle greater than 360o involves at least one complete turn.

Estimate acute, obtuse and reflex angles. For example: Decide whether these angles are acute, obtuse or reflex, estimate their size, then measure each of them to the nearest degree.

Deduce and use formulae to calculate lengths, perimeters, area and volumes in 2-D and 3-D shapes As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should for example:

Use, read and understand: area, surface area, perimeter, distance, edge… and use the units: square centimetre (cm2), square metre (m2), square millimetre (mm2)…

Deduce and use formulae for the perimeter and area of a rectangle. Derive and use a formulae for the area of a right-angled triangle,

thinking of it as half a rectangle: area = ½ x base length x height area = ½ bh

Calculate the perimeter and area of shapes made from rectangles. For example:

Find the area of this shape.

Here is a flag. Calculate the area of the shaded cross.

Find the area of cuboids and shapes made from cuboids. Check by

measurement and calculation. Derive and use the a formula for the surface area S of a cuboid with

length l, width w and height h: S = 2(length x width) + 2(length x height) + 2(height x width) S = 2lw + 2lh +2hw

Solve simple problems such as: How many unit cubes are there in this shape? What is the surface area?

Investigate the different cuboids you can make with 24 cubes. Do they all have the same surface area?

Calculate the surface area in cm2 of this girder.

Handling data

Processing and representing data Calculate statistics from data, finding the mode, mean, median and range As outcomes, Year 7 pupils should, for example:

Use, read and understand: statistic, interval… range, mean, median, mode, modal class/group, average …

Know that:

The mode is the only statistic appropriate for data based on non-numeric categories, e.g. the most common way of travelling to school. The mean is often referred to as ‘the average’.

Find the mode of a small set of discrete data. Know that the mode of a set of numbers is the number that occurs most

often in the set. For example: For 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 6, 9 the mode is 3. For 3, 4, 4, 4, 7, 7, 8 the mode is 4. For 2, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 9 there are two modes, 2 and 9.

In a grouped frequency distribution, the group that contains the most members is called the modal class or modal group.

Calculate the mean for a small set of discrete data. The mean of a set of numbers is the sum of all the numbers divided by the number in the set. For example:

The mean of 2, 6, 8, 9 and 12 is: 2 + 6 + 8 + 9 + 12 = 37 = 7.4 5

Find and use the range of a small set of discrete data The range of a set of values is the difference between the largest and the smallest numbers in the set. For example, for 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 12, 15, the range is 15 – 2 = 13.

Find the median of a small set of discrete data. The median of a set of numbers is the value of the middle number when they are arranged in ascending order. For example, 2, 5, 8, 3, 1, 7, 6 becomes 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and the median is 5. If there is no single middle number, the mean of the two middle numbers is taken. For example, the set 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 has a median of (7 + 8)/2 = 7.5.

Calculate statistics. For example: A competition has three different games. Jane has played two of the games. Game A Game B Game C Score 62 53 To win, Jane needs a mean score of 60. How many points does she need to score in game C?

Interpreting and discussing results Interpret diagrams and graphs, and draw inferences

Interpret diagrams, graphs and charts, and draw inferences based on the shape of the graphs and simple statistics for a single distribution. Relate these to the initial problem. For example:

Interpret data in a pie chart from a newspaper, or generated by a computer. For example:

a. Which species of trees grow best in the local wood?

14% 24 % 22% 30% 10%

How many of each species of tree would there be in the wood if it had 600 trees?

Interpret data in a simple compound bar chart. Interpret a bar chart (discrete data). For example: This chart shows the lengths of 100 words in two different newspaper passages. Compare the two distributions.

Observe that the differences are not great, but these may be slightly greater word length and variety of word length in the broadsheet. Express these observations by selecting the statement that best represents the inferences made from this graph. A school has five year groups. Eighty pupils took part in a sponsored swim. Lara drew this graph.

Look at the graph. Did Year 10 have fewer pupils taking part than Year 7? Tick the correct box.

Yes No Cannot tell

Compare two simple distributions using the range, mode, mean or median

Compare the distributions of two sets of data, and the relationships between them, using range and one of the mode, mean or median. For example:

Which newspaper is easiest to read? In a newspaper survey of the numbers of letters in 100-word samples, compare the mean and the range. Newspaper type Mean Range Tabloid 4.3 10 Broadsheet 4.4 14

Probability

Use the vocabulary of probability

Use, read and understand: fair, unfair, unlikely, equally likely, certain, uncertain, probable, possible, impossible, chance, good chance, poor chance, no chance, fifty-fifty chance, good chance, even chance, likelihood, probability, risk, doubt, random, outcome….

Use vocabulary and ideas of probability, drawing on experience. For example:

A class is going to play three games. In each game some cards are put into a bag. Each card has a square or a circle on it. One card will be taken out, then put back. If it is a circle, the girls will get a point. If it is a square, the boys will get a point.

a. Which game are the girls most likely to win? b. Which game are the boys least likely to win? c. Which game are the boys certain to win? d. Which game is it equally likely that the boys or girls win? e. Are any of the games unfair?

Use the probability scale; find and justify theoretical probabilities

Understand and use the probability scale from 0 to 1; find and justify probabilities based on equally likely outcomes in simple contexts.

Recognise that, for a finite number of possible outcomes, probability is a way of measuring the chance or likelihood of a particular outcome on a scale from 0 to 1, with the lowest probability outcome on a scale from 0 to 1, with the lowest probability at zero (impossible) and the highest probability at 1 (certain). For example:

What fraction would you use to describe: a. the chance of picking a red card at random from a pack of 52

cards? b. The chance of picking a club card? Position the fractions on this probability scale.

Know that the probability is related to proportion and can be represented as a fraction, decimal or percentage, e.g. What is meant by weather forecast of a 20% chance of rain? Select a statement.

Know that if several equally likely outcomes are possible, the probability of a particular outcome chosen at random can be measured by:

number of events favourable to the outcome

total number of possible events

For example: The letters in the word RABBIT are placed in a tub, and a letter taken at

random. What is the probability of taking out: a. a letter T? (one in six, or 1

/6) b. a letter B? (2

/6 or 1/3)

Identify all the possible outcomes of a single event. For example: What are the possible outcomes…

a. when a fair coin is tossed? There are two outcomes: heads or tails. The probability of each is ½. b. when a letter from the word HIPPOPOTAMUS is picked at random? There are nine outcomes: H, I, P, O, T, A, M, U, S

The probability of O is 2/12 or 1/6

The probability of P is 3/12 or ¼.

Place value, ordering and rounding Understand and use decimal notation and place value; multiply and divide integers and decimals by powers of 10

As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example: Use vocabulary from previous year and extend to:

Billion, power, index…. Read and write positive integer powers of 10. Know that:

1 hundred is 10 x 10 = 102 1 thousand is 10 x 10 x 10 = 103 10 thousand is 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 104, etc. 1 million is 106 1 billion is 109, one thousand millions (In the past, 1 billion was 1012, one million millions, in the UK.)

Recognise that successive powers of 10 (i.e. 10, 102, 103, …)underpin decimal (base 10) notation.

Read numbers in standard form, e.g. read 7.2 x 103 as seven point two times ten to the power three’.

Link to using index notation Add or subtract 0.001 to or from any number. Answer questions such as:

What is 0.001 more than 3.009? What is 0.001 more than 3.299? What is 0.002 less than 5? What is 0.005 less than 10? What needs to be added or subtracted to change: 4.257 to 4.277? 6.132 to 6.139? 5.084 to 5.053? 4.378 to 4.111?

Multiply and divide numbers by 0.01 and 0.01. Investigate, describe the effects of, and explain multiplying and dividing

a number by 0.1 and 0.01, In particular, recognise how numbers are increased or decreased by

these operations. 0.1 is equivalent to 1/

10 and 0.01 is equivalent to 1/100, so:

o Multiplying by 0.1 has the same effect as multiplying by 1/10 or

dividing by 10. For example, 3 x 0.1 has the same value as 3 x 1/10,

which has the same value as 3 ÷ 10 = 0.3, and 0.3 x 0.1 has the same value as 3/

10 x 1/10 = 3/

100 = 0.003. o Multiplying by 0.01 has the same effect as multiplying by 1/

100 or dividing by 100. For example, 3 x 0.01 has the same value as 3 x 1/

100, which has the same value as 3 ÷ 100 = 0.03, and 0.3 x 0.01 has the same value as 3/

10 x 1/100 = 0.003.

o Dividing by 0.1 has the same effect as dividing by 1/10 or multiplying

by 10. For example, 3 ÷ 0.1 has the same value as 3 ÷ 1/

10. (How many tenths in 3? 3 x 10 = 30) 0.3 ÷ 0.01 has the same value as 3/

10 ÷ 1/100

(How many hundredths in three tenths? 0.3 x 100 = 30)

o Dividing by 0.01 has the same value as dividing by 1/100 or multiplying by 100. For example, 3 ÷ 0.01 has the same value as 3 ÷ 1/100. (How many hundredths in three? 3 x 100 = 300) 0.3 ÷ 0.01 has the same value as 3/10 ÷ 1/100. (How many hundredths in three tenths? 0.3 x 100 = 30)

Complete statements such as: 0.5 x 0.1 = 0.8 x = 0.08 0.7 ÷ 0.1 = 0.6 ÷ = 6 Dividing a positive number by 10, 100, 1000… has the effect of decreasing the value of that number. Discuss the effects of multiplying and dividing by a number less than 1. Does division always make a number smaller? Does multiplication always make a number larger?

Compare and order decimals As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example:

Use, read and understand vocabulary from the previous year and extend to:

ascending and descending… Know that to order decimals, digits in the same position must be

compared, working from the left, beginning with the first non-zero digit. In these examples, the order is determined by:

0.02437 < 0.02452 the fourth decimal place 5.465 < 5. 614 < 5. 65 the first decimal place initially, then the

second. Extend to negative numbers, e.g. -0.0237 > -0.0241 Use accurately the symbols <, >, ≥, ≤, for example:

Place < or > between: 0.503 0.53 3.2 metres 330 millimetres

Round numbers, including to a given number of decimal places

Use and read and understand vocabulary from the previous year and extend to:

recurring decimal… Round positive whole numbers to a given power of 10, for example:

There are 1 264 317 people out of work. Politician A says: ‘ We have just over 1 million people out of work.’ Politician B says: ‘We have nearly one and a half million people out of work.’ Who is more accurate?

Recognise recurring decimals

Recurring decimals contain an infinitely repeating block of one or more decimal digits. For example:

Fractions with denominators containing prime factors other than 2 or 5

will recur if written in decimal form. Round decimals to the nearest whole number or to one or two decimal

places. For example, know that:

3.7452 rounded to the nearest whole number is 4 to one decimal place is 3.7, and to two decimal places is 3.75 2.199 rounded to the nearest whole number is 2, to one decimal place 2.2, and to two decimal places is 2.20.

6.998 rounded to two decimal places is 7.00. When substituting numbers into expressions and formulae, know that

rounding should not be done until the final answer has been computed. Answer questions such as: Round 12.3599 to one decimal place. Round decimals in context in context, selecting an appropriate number

of decimal places to use when, for example: Using decimal measurements for work on perimeter, area

and volume; Calculating summary statistics, such as the mean; Investigating recurring decimals; Dividing.


Order, add, subtract, multiply and divide positive and negative numbers As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example:

Use, read and understand vocabulary from the previous year. Order positive and negative decimals. See ordering decimals. Add and subtract integers. Understand that 1 add -1 is zero, and use this to calculate, for example:

1 + 1 + -1 + 1 + -1 = -1 + 1 = 3 + =3 = -3 + = 0 40 + -30 + 20 + -10 = -87 + 90 =

Recognise that: 0 - - 1 has the same value as ( 1 + -1) - - 1 = 1; 0 -1 has the same value as (1 + -1 ) -1 = -1 Use this to calculate, for example:

5 - -3 = -4 - - 5 = -2 - = 7 Solve puzzles such as:

Complete this table. a 19 6 7 3 -4 -8 b 12 14 -4 -6 -5 a – b 8 2 0

Multiply and divide positive and negative numbers. Link known multiplication tables to negative number multiplication tables.

For example: -2 x 1 = -2 -2 x 2 = -4 -2 x 3 = -6 and so on.. Write the tables, continuing the pattern: 2 x 2 = 4 2 x -2 = -4 1 x 2 = 2 1 x -2 = -2 0 x 2 = 0 0 x -2 = 0 -1 x 2 = -2 -1 x -2 = 2 -2 x 2 = -4 -2 x -2 = 4 -3 x 2 = -6 -3 x -2 = 6

Recognise that division by a negative number is the inverse of multiplication by a negative number . Use this and the negative number multiplication tables, to show, for example, that -4 ÷ -2 = 2, and relate this to the question ‘How many -2s in -4?’

For a fact such as -3 x 2 = -6, write three other facts, i.e. 2 x -3 = -6, -6 ÷ 2 = -3, -6 ÷ -3 = 2

Answer questions such as: How many negative twos make negative four? (Two)

Extend to the distributive law. For example: -1 x ( 3 + 4 ) = -1 x 7 = -7

-1 x ( 3 + 4 ) = ( -1 x 3 ) + ( -1 x 4 ) = -3 + -4 = -7

Recognise and use multiples, factors and primes; use tests of divisibility

Use, read and understand vocabulary from the previous year. Use factors when appropriate to calculate, as in:

64 x 75 = 64 x 25 x 3 √576 =√(3 x 3 x 8 x 8) = 1600 x 3 = 3 x 8

= 4800 = 24


Use, read and understand vocabulary from the previous year extended to:

Cube number, cubed, cube root… power… The notation 63 as six cubed, and 64 as six to the power 4 and the cube root sign.

Fractions, decimals. percentages, ratio and proportion Use fraction notation; recognise and use the equivalence between fractions and decimals As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example:

Use and read vocabulary from the previous year and extend to; Terminating decimal, recurring decimal, unit fraction…

Use fraction notation to describe a proportion of a shape. For example:

Draw a 3 by 4 rectangle. Divide it into four parts that are ½, ¼ ,1/6 and 1/

12 of the whole rectangle. Parts must not overlap. Now draw a 4 by 5 rectangle. Divide it into parts. Each part must be a unit fraction of the whole rectangle, i.e. with numerator 1. Try a 5 by 6 rectangle. And a 3 by 7 rectangle? The pie chart shows the proportions of components in soil. Estimate the fraction of the soil that is: a. water; b. air.

Relate fractions to division. Know that 43 ÷ 7 is another way of writing 43/7, which is the same as 61/7.

Express a number as a fraction (in its lowest terms) of another. For example:

What fraction of 180 is 120? Convert decimals to fractions.

Continue to recognise that each terminating decimal is a fraction. For example, 0.237 = 237⁄1000.

Recognise that a recurring decimal is a fraction. Convert decimals (up to three decimal places) to fractions. For example:

Convert 0.625 to 625⁄1000 and then cancel to 5/8. Link to percentages. Convert fractions to decimals.

Use division to convert a fraction to a decimal, without a calculator. For example: Use short division to work out that: 1⁄5 = 0.2 3⁄8 = 0.375 27⁄8 = … Investigate fractions such as 1/3, 1/6, 2/3, 1/9, 1/11,… convert to decimals.

Order Fractions Compare and order fractions by converting them to fractions with a common denominator or by converting them to decimals. For example, find the larger of 7/8 and 4/5;

Using common denominators: 7/8 is 35/40 and 4/5 is 32/40, so 7/8 is larger. Using decimals:

7/8 is 0.875 and 4/5 is 0.8, so 7/8 is larger. Answer questions such as:

Which is greater, 0.23 or 3/16?

Which fraction is exactly half way between 3/5 and 5/7?

Calculate fractions of quantities; add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example:

Using diagrams to illustrate adding and subtracting fractions, showing equivalence.

Know that fractions can only be added and subtracted if they have the

same denominator. Answer questions such as:

¼ + 5/12 3/5 + ¾ 5/6 – ¾

Calculate fractions of numbers, quantities or measurements. Develop written methods to answer short questions with fraction

answers, such as: Find : three fifths of 17; Two fifths of 140g; 6/

25 of 34. Multiply an integer by a fraction. Know that 2/3 of 12, 2/3 x 12 and 12 x 2/3 are all equivalent. Think of multiplication by 1/8 as division by 8 , so 6 x 1/8 = 6 ÷ 8, and 6 x

3/8 = 6 x 3 x 1/8 = 18 ÷ 8 Use cancellation to simplify the product of a fraction and an integer. For

example: 7

5 x 15 = 7 x 15 = 35

24 1 1 8 8

Answer such questions as: Find: 3/

12 x 30 5/9 x 24 21/8 x 10 Understand that when multiplying a positive number by a fraction less

than one, the result will be a smaller number. For example: 24 x 1/4 = 6

Divide an integer by a fraction. Know that a statement such as 24 ÷ ¼ can be interpreted as:

How many quarters are there in 24? 24 = x ¼ or 24 = ¼ x For example: Look at one whole circle (or rectangle prism…) How many sevenths can you see? (seven) Look at 1. How many fifths do you see? (5)

24

Look at 4 circles. How many fifths are there now? (20) Understand that when dividing a positive number by a fraction less than

one, the result will be a larger number. For example: 24 ÷ ¼ = 96

Understand percentage as the number of parts per 100; recognise the equivalence of fractions, decimals and percentages; calculate percentages and use them to solve problems As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example:

Understand percentage as the operator ‘so many hundredths of’. For example, know that 15% means 15 parts per hundred, so 15% of Z means 15/

100 x z. Convert fraction and decimal operators to percentage operators by

multiplying by 100. For example: 0.45 0.45 x 100% = 45% 7/

12 (7 ÷ 12) x 100% = 58.3 % (to 1 d.p.) Link the equivalence of fractions, decimals and percentages to the

probability scale and to interpretation of data in pie charts and bar charts.

Calculate percentages of numbers, quantities and measurements. Continue to use mental methods. For example. Find: 65% of 40 by finding 50% then 10% then 5%; 35% of 70ml by finding 10% trebling the result and then adding 5%; 125% of £240 by finding 25% then adding this to 240. Use written methods. For example; Use an equivalent fraction, as in:

13% of 48 13/100 x 48 = 624/

100 = 6.24 Use an equivalent decimal, as in:

13% of 48 0.13 x 48 = 6.24 Use a unitary method, as in:

13% of 48 1% of 48 = 0.48 13% of 48 = 0.48 x 13 = 6.24

Use vocabulary from the previous year and extend to: profit, loss, interest, service charge, tax. unitary method…

Use the equivalence of fractions, decimals and percentages to compare simple proportions and solve simple problems.

Answer questions such as: There is 20% orange juice in every litre of a fruit drink. How much orange juice is there in 2.5 litres of fruit drink? How much fruit drink can be made from 1 litre of orange juice? 6 out of every 300 paper clips produced by a machine are rejected. What is this as a percentage?

Find the outcome of a percentage increase or decrease. Understand that:

If something increases by 100%, it doubles. If something increases by 500%, it increases by 5. A 100% decrease leaves zero. An increase of 15% will result in 85%, and 85% is equivalent to 0.85. An increase of 10% followed by a further increase of 10% is not equivalent to an increase of 20%.

For example: An increase of 15% on an original cost of £12 gives a new price of £12 x 1.15 = £13.80

Investigate problems such as: I can buy a bicycle for one cash payment of £119, or pay a deposit of 20% and then six equal monthly payments of £17.


Use read and understand vocabulary from the previous year and extend to:

Link to fraction notation Simplify a ratio expressed in different units.

For example: 2m : 50cm 450g : 5 kg

Link to converting between measures Consolidate understanding of the relationship between ratio and

proportion. For example: In a game, Tom scored 6, Sunil scored 8 and Amy scored 10. The ratio of their scores was 6 : 8 : 10, or 3 : 4 : 5. Tom scored a proportion of 3/

12 or ¼ or 25% of the total score.

Divide a quantity into two or more parts in a given ratio. Solve simple problems using a unitary method.

Potting compost is made from loam, peat and sand, in the ratio 7 : 3 : 2 respectively. A gardener used 1 ½ litres of peat to make compost.

How much loam did she use? How much sand? The angles in a triangle are in the ratio 6 : 5 : 7. Find the sizes of the three angles. Lottery winnings were divided in the ratio 2 : 5. Dermot got the smaller amount of £1000. How much in total were the lottery winnings? 2 parts = £1000 1 part = £500 5 parts = £2500 Total = £1000 + £2500 = £3500

Strategies for mental addition and subtraction Consolidate and use addition and subtraction strategies from previous

years. For example: Add and subtract mentally pairs of integers. Use strategies for addition

and subtraction to add and subtract pairs of integers. For example: -9 - -14 = … -43 + -25 = … The result of subtracting one integer from another is -29. What could the integers be?

Add mentally several positive or negative numbers. Including larger multiples of 10. For example:

5 + -4 + 8 + -10 + -7 250 + 120 -190

Calculate a mean using an assured mean. For example: Find the mean of 18.7, 18.4, 19.1, 18.3 and 19.5 Use 19.0 as the assumed mean. The differences are -0.3, -0. 6, 0. 1, -0.7 and 0.5, giving a total difference of -1.0. The actual mean is 19.0 – ( 1.0 ÷ 5 ) = 18.8 Link to integers

Strategies for multiplication and division Use factors. For example

22 x 0.02 22 x 0.01 = 0.22 0.22 x 2 = 0.44

Use partitioning. For example: For multiplication, partition either part of the product:

13 x 1.4 = (10 x 1.4) + (3 x 1.4) = 14 + 4.2 = 18.2

Use knowledge of place value to multiply and divide mentally any number by 0.1 or 0.01. For example: o 3.6 x 0.1 99.2 ÷ 100

Recognise special cases where doubling or halving can be used.

Extend doubling and halving methods to include decimals and negative numbers. For example:

3.4 x 4.5 = 1.7 x 9 = 15.3 Multiply be near 10s. For example:

23 x 11 = 23 x 10 + 23 8 x -19 = 8 x (-20 + 1) = -160 + 8 = -152

Recall of fraction, decimal and percentage facts Know and derive quickly: Decimal/fraction/percentage equivalents, such as: 1/8 = 0.125 or 12.5% Simplified form of fractions such as:

3/15 = 1/5

Know that 1/3 is and 2/3 is . Know that 0.03 is 3/100 or 3%. Strategies for finding equivalent fractions, decimals and

percentages For example:

Express 136% as a decimal. (Know that 136% is equivalent to 136⁄100 or 1.36.) Express 55% as a fraction in its lowest terms. (Know that 55% is equivalent to 55⁄100, cancel to 11⁄2011/20.) Convert 4⁄25 into a decimal. (Work out that 4/

25 = 16/100, so it is equivalent to 0.16.) Use known facts such as 1/8 = 0.125 to convert fractions to decimals

mentally. For example: 5⁄8 = 0.125 x 5 = 0.625

Convert between improper fractions and mixed numbers. For example: Convert 71/3 into an improper fraction. Convert 36/5 into a mixed number.

Strategies for calculating fractions and percentages of whole numbers and quantities. For example:

o 3/5 of 20 = 12 (e.g. find one fifth, and multiply by 3.) o 1½ of 16 = 24 (e.g. find half, and add it to 16) o 125% of 240 (e.g. find 25% then add it to 240) o 35% of 40 (e.g. find 10%, then 30% and 5%, and add.) o A 5% discount on a £45 coat in a sale. By how much is the coat’s

price reduced? (Find 1% and then %5.) Word problems and puzzles (all four operations) Apply mental skills to solving simple problems, using jottings if

appropriate. For example: o 14 x 39 = 546. What is 14 x 3.9? o Four sunflowers have heights of 225cm, 199cm, 185cm and

239cm. What is their mean height? o The sum of p and q is 12. The product of p and q is 27. Calculate

their values. o Find 25% of 10% of £400.

o Calculate the area of this triangle. (With height 6.5cm and length 10cm.)



Consolidate the methods learned and used in previous years, and extend to harder examples of sums and differences with different numbers of digits. For example:

44.8 + 172 + 87.36 5.05 + 3.98 + 8 + 0.97 14 – 3.98 -2.9

Algebra

Equation, formulae and identities Use the letter symbols and distinguish their different roles in algebra As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example:


algebraic expressions, formula, function… partition, multiply out.. cubed, to the power of …

Know that an algebraic expression is formed from letter symbols and numbers, combined with operation signs such as +,-, x, (,) ,÷ and /.

Use letter symbols in different ways and begin to distinguish their different roles. For example: o In the equation 4x + 3 = 47, x is a particular unknown number. o In a formula V = IR, V, I and R are variable quantities related by the

formula. In the formula F = 9C/5 + 32, once C is known, the value of F can be calculated. In the function y = 3x - 4, for any chosen value of x, the related value of y can be calculated.

Know how multiplication and division are represented in algebraic expressions. For example:

2 x n is written as 2n. p x q is written a pq.

a x (b + c) is written as a(b + c)

(x + y) ÷ z is written as x + y z

Use the equals sign appropriately and correctly. Know that the symbol = denotes equality. Avoid misuse of the equals sign when working through a sequence of steps, e.g. incorrectly writing 56 + 37 = 56 + 30 = 86 + 7 = 93. Avoid interpreting the equals sign as ‘makes’, which suggests it means merely the answer to a calculation, as in 3 x 2 + 7 = 13.

Begin to interpret the equals sign more broadly, including in equations with expressions on each side. For example:

Recognise equalities in different forms, such as: a + b = c + d 8 = 15 – 3x And know that they can be written as: a + b = c + d or c + d = a + b 8 = 15 – 3x or 15 – 3x = 8

Know that expressions such as 2a + 2 and 2 ( a + 1) always have the same value for any value of a.

Know that algebraic operations follow the same conventions and order as arithmetic operations; use index notation and the index laws As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example:

Recognise that algebraic operations follow the same conventions and order as arithmetic operations. Know that contents of brackets are evaluated first, and that multiplication and division are carried out before addition and subtraction. For example:

In 7 – 5s, the multiplication is performed first. In 6 – s2 the square is evaluated first. In 3(x – 2), the expression in the brackets is evaluated first.

Use index notation for small positive integer powers. Know that expressions involving repeated multiplication of the same number, such as:

n x n n x n x n n x n x n x n are written as n2, n3, and n4 and are referred to as n squared, n cubed n to the power 4 etc. Know why the terms squared and cubed are used for to the power of 2 to the power of 3. Understand the different meanings of expressions, such as:

2n x n2 3n and n3

Simplify expressions such as: 2x2 + 3x2 n2 x n3 p3 ÷ p2

Understand and use inverse operations. Recognise that any one of the equations: a + b = c, b + a = c, c – a = b and c – b = a ab = c, ba = c, b = c/a and a = c/b

implies each of the other three in the same set, as can be verified by substituting suitable sets of numbers into the equations.

Apply inverse operations when two successive operations are involved. For example:

The inverse of dividing by 4 and subtracting 7 is adding 7 and multiplying by 4, i.e. m/4 – 7 = n, then m = 4(n + 7).


As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example: Simplify or transform linear expressions by collecting like terms; multiply

a single term over a bracket. Understand the application of the distributive law to arithmetic

calculations such as: o 7 x 36 = 7 ( 30 + 6) = 7 x 30 + 7 x 6 o 7 x 49 = 7 (50 -1) = 7 x 50 – 7 x 1

Know and use the distributive law for multiplication: o Over addition, namely a( b + c) = ab + ac o Over subtraction, namely a ( b – c) = ab – ac

Recognise that the letters stand for numbers in problems. For example: o Simplify these expressions:

a. 3a + 2b + 2a – b b. 4x + 7 + 3x – 3 – x c. 3(x + 5) d. 12 – (n – 3) e. M(n – p) f. 4(a + 2b) – 2(2a + b)

o Write different equivalent expressions for the total length of the lines in this diagram.

Simplify each expression as far as possible.

Construct and solve linear equations, selecting an appropriate method

As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example: Use, read and understand:

Linear equation… Consolidate forming and solving linear equations with an unknown

on one side. Choose a suitable unknown and form expressions leading to an

equation. Solve the equation by removing brackets, where appropriate, collecting like terms and using inverse operations.

For example: o There are 376 stones in three piles. The second pile has 24 more

stones than the first pile. The third pile has twice as many stones as the second. How many stones are there in each pile?

o Let s stand for the number in the first pile. Pile 1 Pile 2 Pile 3 Total

s s + 24 2(s + 24) 376 s + ( s + 24) + 2( s + 24) = 376 s + s + 24 + 2s + 48 = 376 4s + 72 = 376 4s = 304

s = 76 o On Dwain’s next birthday, half of his age will be 16. How old is

Dwain now? o Solve the equations:

5x = 7 2( p+ 5) = 24 3 = 12 2.4z + 5.9 = 14.3 n

Explore alternative ways of solving simple equations, e.g. deciding whether or not to remove brackets first. For example: o 2(x + 5) = 36 or 2(x + 5) = 36

x + 5 = 18 2x + 10 = 36 x = 13 2x = 26 x = 13

Begin to understand that an equation can be thought of as a balance where, provided the same operation is performed on both sides, the resulting equation remains true. For example: o Start with a true statement, such as:

52 – 7 = 41 + 4 Make the same change to both sides, e.g. subtract 4 52 – 7 – 4 = 41 Check that this statement is true. Then start with a simple equation, such as: y = x + 4 add 3 y + 3 = x + 7 double 2(y + 3) = 2( x + 7) subtract d 2(y + 3) – d = 2(x + 7) –d Check that the result equation is true by substituting numbers which fit the original, e.g. x = 1, y = 5.

Form linear equations (unknown on both sides) and solve them by transforming both sides in the same way. Begin to recognise what transformations are needed and in what order. For example: o Jill and Ben each have the same number of pens.

Jill has 3 full boxes of pens and 2 loose pens.

Ben has 2 full boxes of pens and 14 loose pens. How many pens are there in a full box? 3n + 2 = 2n + 14

o Solve these equations: 3x + 2 = 2x + 5 5x – 7 = 13 – 3z

Set up and use equations to solve word and other problems involving direct proportion

Begin to use graphs and set up equations to solve simple problems

involving direct proportion. Discuss practical examples of direct proportion, such as: Discuss the distance travelled in a given time, assuming constant speed.

For example: Consider a walking speed of 200 metres every 2 minutes.

Generate (distance, time) pairs. Observe that distance/time is constant. Use this relationship to find the distance walked in: a. 12 minutes b. 7 minutes


As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example: Substitute positive and negative numbers into linear expressions

and positive integers into simple expressions involving powers. For example: Find the value of these expressions when a = 4. 3a2 + 4 2a3 Find the value of these expressions when x = 2.5. 4x + 3 2-3x 7(x - 1) Find the value of y when expressions when x = 2.5. y = 2x + 3 y = x – 1

x x + 1 Explain the meaning of and substitute numbers into formulae such as:

The volume V of a cuboid of length l and breadth b and height h: V = lbh The surface area S of a cuboid with width w, depth d and height h: S = 2dw + 2dh + 2hw

Answer questions such as: The voltage V in an electrical circuit, with current I and resistance R, is given by the formula: V= IR What is V when l = 5 and R = 7? What is R when V= 42 and l = 3?

In simple cases, find an unknown where it is not the subject of the formula and where an equation must be solved. For example:

The formula for the change £C from £50 for d compact discs at £7 each is C = 50 – 7d, If C = 15, what is d? The formula for the perimeter P of a rectangle l by w is P = 2 ( l + w ), If P = 20 and l = 7, what is w?

Derive algebraic expressions and formulae. Check by substituting particular values.

For example: o Mr Varma bought n apples and some oranges.

a. He had 4 times as many oranges as apples. How many oranges did he have?

b. He had 3 oranges left after making a pudding. How many oranges did he use?

c. He used half the apples in a pie and his son ate one. How many apples were left?

Derive formulae such as: The number f of square faces that can be seen by f = 4n + 2 The sum S of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides:

S = ( n – 2) x 180o The area A of a parallelogram with base b and height h:

A = b x h The number n half way between two numbers, n1 and n2:

n = n1 + n2 2

Square numbers: 1, 4, 9, 16… Powers of 10 10, 100, 1000, 10 000… Powers of 2 64, 32, 16…

Generate sequences by multiplying and dividing by a constant factor. For example:

1, -2, 4, -8, 16, -32 …. Generate sequences by counting forwards or backwards in

increasing or decreasing steps. For example: Start at 30 and count forwards by 1, 2, 3, … to give 31, 32, 36…

Begin to appreciate that: o Seeing a pattern in results enables predictions to be made, but any

prediction must always be checked for correctness. o A satisfactory conclusion is reached only when a general

explanation of either a term- to- term or a position to term rule is given and the pattern can be justified.

Generate and describe integer sequences, relating them to geometrical patterns. For example: o Powers of 2

As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example: Generate terms of a sequence given a rule for finding each term

from the previous term, Generate these sequences: 1st term Term to term rule 8 subtract 4 1 add consecutive odd numbers, starting with 3. 28 halve 1 000 000 divide by 10 1, 2, … add the two previous terms.

Generate a sequence given a rule for finding each term from its position in the sequence, referring to terms as T(1) = first term, T(2) = second term, …, T(n) = nth term. For example: o The nth term of a sequence is 2n, i.e. T(n) = 2n. Write the first five

terms. o Write the first five terms of a sequence whose nth term or T(n) is:

a. 5n + 4 b. 105 – 5n c. 99 – 9n

Find the nth term, justifying its form by referring to the context in which it was generated

As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example: Generate sequences from simple practical contexts. For example:

Plot the points. Observe that the points lie in a straight line. Read other coordinate pairs from the line (including fractional values) and confirm that they also fit the function.

Recognise that a graph of the form y = mx + b; o Corresponds to a straight line, whereas the graph of a linear

sequence consists of set of discrete points lying on an ‘imagined straight line’;

o Represents an infinite set of points, and that: The values of the coordinates of each point satisfy the

equation represented by the graph; Any coordinate pair which represents a point not on the

graph does not satisfy the equation. Identify the graphs of linear functions in the form y = mx + b.

Identify and interpret graphs such as:’ y = 2x, y = 2x + 1, y = 2x + 4, y = 2x – 2, y = 2x -5 Describe similarities and differences. Notice that: -the lines are all parallel to y = 2x. -the lines all have the same gradient; -the number (constant) tells you where the line cuts the y-axis (the intercept).

Recognise that equations of the form y = mx + b corresponds to a straight-line graph.

Know these properties of functions of the form y = mx + b: o They are straight lines; o For a given value of b, all lines pass through the point (0, c) on the

y-axis;

o All lines with the same given value of m are parallel. o Use knowledge of these properties to find the equation of straight

line graphs.


Interpret graphs of functions from a range of sources. For example: Give plausible explanations for the shape of graphs such as:

In interpreting graphs of functions:

Read values from a graph; Select accurate statements that reflect trends.

Discuss and interpret line graphs from other subjects. For example: o Some pupils poured different volumes of water on to a small

towelling flannel. Each time they found its mass. The water was always completely absorbed or soaked up by the flannel. Which would be the most likely line for their graph?

Know that:

o A pair of complementing angles have a sum of 90o. A pair of supplementary angles have a sum of 180o.

Identify properties of angles and parallel and perpendicular lines, and use these properties to solve problems


Identify alternate and corresponding angles. Understand that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180o and of a

quadrilateral is 360o, and that the exterior angle of a triangle equals the sum of the two interior opposite angles.

Consider relationships between three lines meeting at a point and a fourth line parallel to one of them.

Know and use side, angle and symmetry properties of equilateral, isosceles and right-angled triangles.

Classify quadrilaterals by their geometric properties (equal and/or parallel sides, equal angles, right angles, diagonals bisected and/or at right angles, reflection and rotation symmetry…)

Know properties such as: o An isosceles trapezium is a trapezium in which the two opposite

non-parallel sides are the same length. It has one line of symmetry and both diagonals are the same length.

o A parallelogram has its opposite sides equal and parallel. Its diagonals bisect each other. It has rotation symmetry of order 2.

o A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal sides. Its diagonals bisect each other at right angles. Both diagonals are lines of symmetry. It has rotational symmetry of order 2.

o A kite is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of adjacent sides of equal length, and no interior angle larger than 180o. It has one line of symmetry and its diagonals cross at right angles.

o An arrowhead or delta has two pairs of adjacent edges of equal length and one interior angle larger than 180 o . It has one line of symmetry. Its diagonals cross at right angles outside the shape.

Use angle and side properties of triangles, and angle properties of parallel and intersecting lines, to solve problems. Explain reasoning. For example: o The angle at the vertex of a regular pentagon is 108 o. Two

diagonals are drawn to the same vertex to make three triangles in the pentagon. Calculate the sizes of the angles in each triangle.

Understand congruence and similarity As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example:

and size, and corresponding sides and angles are equal. For example: o From a collection of different triangles or quadrilaterals, identify

those that are congruent to each other. Realise that corresponding sides and angles are equal.

o Two congruent scalene triangles without right angles are joined with two equal edges fitted together. What shapes can result? What if the two triangles are right angled, isosceles or equilateral?

Use 2-D representations, including plans and elevations, to visualise 3-D shapes and deduce some of their properties As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example:

example, reflect the shape below first in the x-axis and then in the y axis. What happens? What is the equivalent transformation? Now reflect it first in the y-axis and then in the x-axis. What happens? What is the equivalent transformation?

Explore the effect of repeated rotations, such as half turns about

different points. Understand and demonstrate some general results about repeated

transformations. For example: Reflection in two parallel lines is equivalent to a translation. Reflection in two perpendicular lines is equivalent to a half turn rotation. Two rotations about the same centre are equivalent to a single rotation. Two translations are equivalent to a single rotation. Two translations are equivalent to a single translation.

Explore the effect of combining transformations. o Triangles A, B, C and D are drawn on a grid.

Sort quadrilaterals, based on questions relating to their symmetries. Relate symmetries of triangles and quadrilaterals to their side angle

and diagonal properties. For example: o An isosceles triangle has reflection symmetry. Use this to confirm

known properties, such as: - The line of symmetry passes through the vertex which is the

intersection of the two equal sides, and is the perpendicular bisector of the third side.

- The base angles on the unequal side are equal. Use and interpret maps and scale drawings As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should, for example:

Continue to use familiar units of measurement from previous year and extend to:

Standard metric units Tonne (not usually abbreviate) Hectare(ha)

Cubic millimetre (mm3), cubic centimetre (cm3), cubic metre (m3).. Know the relationship between the units of a particular measure, e.g.

o 1 hectare = 10 000m2 o 1 tonne = 1000kg o 1 litre = 1000cm3 o 1 millilitre = 1 cm3 o 1000 litres = 1 m3

Convert between one unit and another. Convert between area measures in simple cases. For example:

o A rectangular field measures 250m by 200m What is its area in hectares (ha)?

o Each side of a square tablecloth measures 120cm. Write its area in square metres (m2).

Convert between units of time. For example: At what time of what day of what year will it be:

a. 2000 minutes b. 2000 weeks

after the start of the year 2000? Consolidate changing a smaller unit to a larger one. For example:

o Change 760g into kilograms. o Change 400ml into litres.

Suggest appropriate units and methods to estimate or measure volume. Solve problems involving length, area, volume, capacity, mass, time,

angle and bearings, rounding measurements to an appropriate degree of accuracy.


Bearings Use and read:

Use bearings to specify direction and solve problems, including making simple scale drawings.

Know that the bearing of a point A from an observer O is the angle between the line OA and the north line through O, measured in a clockwise direction.

In the diagram the bearing of A from O is 210o. The bearing of O from A is 30o.

For example:

o If the bearing of P from Q is 45 o, what is the bearing of Q from P? If the bearing of X from Y is 120 o, what is the bearing from Y to X. Deduce and use formulae to calculate lengths, perimeters, area and volumes in 2-D and 3-D shapes As outcomes, Year 8 pupils should for example:

Use vocabulary from the previous year and extend to: Volume, space, displacement… and use the units: hectare (ha), cubic centimetre (cm3), cubic metre (m3), cubic millimetre (mm3)…

Know when it is appropriate to use the mode (or the modal class), mean, median and range: o The median is useful for comparing with a middle value, e.g. half

the class swam more than 500 m. o The range gives a simple measure of spread. o The mode indicates the item or class that occurs most often and is

useful in reporting opinion polls. o The mean gives an idea of what would happen if there were ‘equal

shares’. Use a stem-and-leaf diagram to help find the median, range and mode.

For example: Hours of sunshine for UK weather stations 10/05/00 (stem = hours, leaves = tenths) 0 6 9 1 6 9 2 2 2 5 6 6 7 9 3 0 0 0 0 1 2 2 5 5 5 4 0 1 5 5 6 6 6 7 9 5 0 1 5 5 6 8 9 9 6 1 2 2 2 3 6 6 7 8 8 7 0 0 1 6 7 8 8 8 0 0

There are 58 items of data. The median is the half way between the 29th and 30th item. Which is 4.8 which is 4 hours and 48 minutes of sunshine. The range is 8.0 – 0.6 = 7.4h. The mode is 3.0 hours.

Calculate statistics. For example: o Imran and Nia play three games. Their scores have the same

mean. The range of Imran’s score is twice the range of Nia’s scores.

Write the missing scores in the table below. Imran’s score 40 Nia’s 35 40 45

o John has three darts scores with a mean of 30 and a range of 20. His first dart scored 26. What were his other two scores?


Interpret diagrams, graphs and charts, and draw inferences related to the problem; relate summarised data to the questions being explored. For example:

Interpret a compound bar chart. For example: Select a statement that accurately answers the following question. How has the method of travel changed over the last 20 years?

Interpret line graphs, e.g. weather data.

Compare two simple distributions using the range, mode, mean or median

Compare two distributions using the range and one or more of the

mode, mean or median. For example: Which type of battery last longer? Use data from an experiment to calculate the range, median and mean of each type. Conclude, for example, that one brand is generally of higher quality and one has less consistent manufacturing standards, as evidenced by a greater range.

Probability

Use the vocabulary of probability

Use vocabulary from the previous year and extend to: Event, theory, sample, sample space, biased….

Use the vocabulary of probability when interpreting the results of an experiment; appreciate that random processes are unpredictable. For example: o Two boxes of sweets contain different numbers of hard and soft

centred sweets. o Box 1 has 8 hard-centred sweets and 10 with soft centres. Box 2

has 6 hard-centred sweets and 12 with soft centres. Kate only likes hard-centred sweets. She can pick a sweet at random from either box. Which box should she pick from? Why? Kate is given a third box of sweets 5 hard centred sweets and 6 soft centres. Which box should Kate choose from now?

Use the probability scale; find and justify theoretical probabilities

Know that if the probability of an event occurring is p, then the probability of it not occurring is 1 - p.

Use this to solve problems. For example: o Consider a pack of 52 cards (no jokers). If the probability of drawing

a club from the pack of cards is ¼ then the probability of drawing a card that is not a club is 1 – ¼ = 3/4. Calculate the probability that a card chosen at random will be:

a. a red card; b. a heart: c. not a picture card; d. not an ace; e. either a club or a diamond; f. an even numbered red card.

o There are 25 cars parked in a garage. 12 are red, 7 are blue, 3 are white and rest black. Calculate the probability that the next car to leave the garage will be:

a. red; b. blue; c. neither red nor blue; d. black or white.

Find and record all possible outcomes for single events and two successive events in a systematic way, using diagrams and tables.

o What are the possible outcomes when: A mother gives birth to twins? A glazier puts red, green or blue in each of two windows? You can choose two pizza toppings from onion, mushroom

and sweet corn? o 200 raffle tickets are numbered from 1 to 200. They have all been

sold. One ticket will be drawn at random to win first prize.

c. Rob buys several tickets. He has 5% chance of winning. How many tickets has he bought?

d. Three people have each lost a ticket and do not play. What is the chance that nobody wins?

Use fraction notation to describe a proportion of a shape. For example:

The curves of this shape are semicircles or quarter circles. Express the shaded shape as a fraction of the large dashed square. Express a number as a fraction (in its lowest terms)of another. For

example: What fraction of 120 is 180? (3/2 or 11/2)

many would you expect to be late? o Some girls and boys have £32 between them. Each boy has £4 and

each girl has £5. How many boys are there? o Find two numbers:

Whose sum is -11 and whose product is 28; Whose difference is 4 and whose quotient is 3.

Make estimates and approximations

Recognise the effects of rounding up and down on a calculation. Discuss questions such as:

Why is 6 ÷ 2 a better approximation for 6.59 ÷ 2.47 than 7 ÷ 2? Recognise when approximations to the nearest 10, 100, 1000 are good

enough, and when they are not. Estimating the answer, e.g. 48.6 x 0.078 ≈ 50 x 0.1 = 50 ÷ 10 = 5



Use a standard column procedure for addition and subtraction of numbers of any size, including a mixture of large and small numbers with differing numbers of decimal places.

Algebra

Equation, formulae and identities Use the letter symbols and distinguish their different roles in algebra As outcomes, Year 9 pupils should, for example:


Identity, identically equal, inequality... subject of the formula … Common factor, factorise, index law… Linear, quadratic, cubic..

Know the distinction between equations, formulae and functions. For example: o In the equation 5x + 4 = 2x + 31, x is a particular unknown. o In the formula v = u + at, v, u, a and t are variable quantities,

related by the formula. Once the values of three of the variables are known, the fourth value can be calculated.

o In the function y = 8x + 11, for any chose value of x, the related value of y can be calculated.

Know that an inequality or ordering is a statement that one expression is greater or less than another. For example: o x ≥ 1 means that x is greater than or equal to 1. o y ≤ 2 means that y is less than or equal to 2.

An inequality remains true if the same number is added to or subtracted from each side, or if both sides are multiplied or divided by the same positive number. Multiplying or dividing by a negative number reverses the sense of the inequality.

Know that algebraic operations follow the same conventions and order as

arithmetic operations; use index notation and the index laws As outcomes, Year 9 pupils should, for example:

Apply simple instances of the index laws for multiplication and division of small integer powers. For example:

n2 x n3 = n2+3 = n5 p3 ÷ p2 - p3-2 = p

Know and use general forms of the index laws for multiplication and division of positive inter powers.

pa x pb = pa+b pa ÷ pb = pa-b (pa)b = pab


As outcomes, Year 9 pupils should, for example: Simplify or transform linear expressions by taking out single-term

common factors. Continue to use the distributive law to multiply a single term over a

bracket. Extend to taking out single term common factors. Recognise that letters stand for numbers in problems. For example:

o Simplify these expressions: 3(x – 2) – 2(4 – 3x) (n + 1)2 – (n + 1) + 1

o Factorise: 3a + 6b = 3(a + 2b) x3 + x2 + 2x = x(x2 + x + 2)

o Write an expression for each missing length in this rectangle. Write each expression as simply as possible.

2o The area of a rectangle is 2x + 4x. Suggest suitable lengths for its

sides. What if the perimeter of a rectangle is 2x2 + 4x? Add simple algebraic fractions.

Generalise from arithmetic that: a ± c = ad ± bc b d bd

Square a linear expression, and expand and simplify the product of two linear expressions of the form x ± n.

Derive and use identities for the product of two linear expressions of the form (a ± b)(c ± d) = ac ± ad ± bc + bd

Solve linear equations, selecting an appropriate method


Use, read and understand: inequality, region and, or…

Solve linear equations with negative signs anywhere in the equation, negative solution….

Solve linear equations using inverse operations, by transforming both sides in the same way or by other methods.

For example: o Compare different ways of solving ‘think of a number’ problems and

decide which would be more efficient – retaining brackets and using inverse operations, or removing brackets first. For example:

I think of a number, add 3, multiply by 4, add 7, divide by 9, then multiply by 15. The final answer is 105. What was the number that I thought of?

o Jack, Jo and Jim are sailors. They were shipwrecked on an island with a monkey and a crate of 185 bananas. Jack ate 5 more bananas than Jim. Jo ate 3 more bananas than Jim. The monkey ate 6 bananas. How many bananas did each sailor eat?

o The length of a rectangle is three times its width. Its perimeter is 24 centimetres. Find its area. Click on the correct expression for its area.

o Solve these equations: 3c – 7 = -13 4(b – 1) - 5 (b + 1) = 0 4( z + 5) = 8

Form linear equations (unknown on both sides) and solve them by transforming both sides in the same way. Begin to recognise what transformations are needed and in what order. For example: o Multiplying a number by 2 and then adding 5 gives the same

answer as subtracting the number from 23. What is the number? o The sum of the ages of a mother and her daughter is 46. In three

years; time the mother will be three times as old as her daughter is then. How old is the daughter now?

o Solve these equations: 7(s + 3)= 45 – 3(12 – s) 3(2a – 1) = 5(4a – 1) – 4( 3a – 2)

Solve a pair of simultaneous linear equations

Solve a pair of simultaneous equations by eliminating one variable. Know that simultaneous equations are true at the same time and are

satisfied by the same values of the unknowns involved, and that the linear simultaneous equations may be solved in a variety of ways.

Substitute from one equation into another. For example: x and y satisfy the equation 5x + y = 49. They also satisfy the equation y = 2x. Find x and y. Write down another equation satisfied by x and y. Method: From the second equation, y = 2. Substituting into the first equation gives:

5x + 2x = 49 So x = 7 and y = 14. Other equations might be x + y = 21, y = x + 7.

o Solve the equations: 3x – 5y = 22 x = 3y + 2

Extend the substitution method to examples where one equation must be rearranged before the substitution can be made. For example: o Solve the equations:

x – 2y = 5 2x + 5y = 100 From the first equation, x = 5 +2y. Substituting into the second equation gives. 2(5 + 2y) + 5y = 100

Add or subtract equations. For example: o Solve the equations:

x + 3y = 56 x + 6y = 101 Method x + 3y = 56 x + 6y = 101

Compare the two equations and deduce that 3y = 45 so y = 15. Substituting into the first equation gives x = 11.

o Solve the equations: 4x + y = 44 x + y = 20 Extend to adding or subtracting equations in order to eliminate one variable. For example: 2x + y = 17 Multiply by 2: 4x + 2y = 34 3x + 2y = 28 Subtract: 3x + 2y = 28 x = 6

Form and solve linear simultaneous equations to solve problems. For example: o In five years’ time, Ravi’s father will be twice as old as Ravi. In 13

years; time, the sum of their ages will be 100. How old is Ravi now? Use algebraic methods to solve simple non-linear equations. For

example: o Solve these equations exactly. Each has two solutions.

a. c2 + 24 = 60 c. x2 – 5= 220 b. 9 = y + 2 d. 3 = 12

y + 2 x2

Set up and use equations to solve word and other problems involving direct proportion

Solve problems involving proportion using algebraic methods,

relating algebraic solutions to graphical representations of the equations. For example:

If variables x and y take these values: x 1 2 3 4 5 6 y 3.5 7 10.5 14 17.5 21

o The relationship between the variables is expressed by y = 3.5x o The graph of y against x is a straight line through the origin.

Use algebraic methods to solve problems such as: o Green paint is made by mixing 11 parts of blue paint with 4 parts of

yellow paint. How many litres of blue paint would be needed to mix with 70 litres of yellow paint? Algebraic method: Let b be the number of litres of blue paint needed:

Blue b = 11 Yellow 70 4 How many litres of blue paint would be needed to make up

100 tins of green paint? Blue b = 11 Green 100 15



Substitute positive and negative numbers into linear expressions and expressions involving powers. For example:

o Find the value of these expressions 3x2 + 4 4x3 - 2x When x = -3 and when x = 0.1.

o Find the values of a and b when p = 10. a = 3p3 b = 2p2(p – 3) 2 7p

o Here are two formulae. P = s + t + 5√(s2 + t2) A = 1/2st + (s2 + t2) 3 9 Work out the values of P and A when s = 1.7 and t = 0.9.

Explain the meaning of and substitute numbers into formulae such as: o A formula to convert C degrees Celsius to F degrees Fahrenheit:

F = 9C + 32 or F = 9(C + 40) - 40 5 5

Find an unknown where it is not the subject of the formula and where an equation must be solved. For example: o The surface area S of a cuboid of length l, width w and height h is

S = 2lw + 2lh + 2hw What is h if S = 410, l = 10 and w = 5?

In simple cases, change the subject of a formula, using inverse operations. For example: o Make I or R the subject of the formula V = IR o Make l or w the subject of the formula

P = 2(l + w) o Make b or h the subject of the formulae

A = ½ bh V = lbh o Make u or v the subject of the formula

1 + 1 = 1 v u f

Review general properties of linear sequences of the form an + b, where a and b take particular values, e.g. 2n + 5, 3n – 7, 10 – 4n. o The sequence can also be defined by

1st term, T(1) = a + b Term to term rule, ‘add a to the previous term’ so T(2) = a + T(1), etc.

o The nth term of a sequence is 2n, i.e. T(n) = 2n. Write the first five terms.

Recognise the graphs of linear functions in the form: ay + bx + c = 0 and consider its features.

Given values of m and c, find the gradient of lines given by equations of the form y = mx + c.

Compare changes in y with corresponding changes in x, and relate to changes to a graph of the function. For example:

Recognise that a graph of the form y = mx + b: o y = 3x + 1

x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 y 1 4 7 10 13 16 19 The difference is 3.

Change in y = 4 – 1 = 13 – 10 = 3 Change in x 1 – 0 4 – 3 Know that for the straight line y = mx + c.

m = change in y ; change in x

m is called the gradient of the line and is a measure of the steepness of the line;

if y decreases as x increases then m will be negative.


Interpret a range of graphs arising from real situations. For each of the situations below, suggest which sketch graph has a

shape that most accurately describes it:

Geometric reasoning: lines, angles and shapes Use accurately the vocabulary, notation and labelling conventions for lines, angles and shapes; distinguish between conventions, facts, definitions and derived properties As outcomes, Year 9 pupils should, for example:

Use vocabulary from the previous year. Identify properties of angles and parallel and perpendicular lines, and use these properties to solve problems


Explain how to find, calculate and use properties of the interior and exterior angles of regular and irregular polygons.

Explain how to find the interior angle sum and the exterior angle sum in (irregular) quadrilaterals, pentagons and hexagons. For example: o A polygon with n sides can be split into n – 2 triangles, each with an

angle sum of 180o. So the interior angle sum is (n – 2) x 180o, giving 360o for a quadrilateral, 540o for a pentagon and 720o for a hexagon.

Find calculate and use the interior and exterior angles of a regular polygon with n sides. For example: o The interior angle sum S for a polygon with n sides is S = (n – 2) x

180o. In a regular polygon all the angles are equal, so each interior

angle equals S divided by n. Since the interior and exterior angles are on a straight line, the exterior angle can be found by subtracting the interior angle from 180o. Recall that the interior angles if an equilateral triangle, a square and

a regular hexagon are 60o, 90o, 120o respectively.



Use vocabulary from the previous year and extend to: Hypotenuse, Pythagoras’ theorem…

Know and use angle and symmetry properties of polygons, and angle properties of parallel and intersecting lines, to solve problems and explain reasoning. For example:

Know and use properties of triangles, including Pythagoras’ theorem. Know that:

o In any triangle, the largest angle is opposite the longest side and the smallest side.

o In a right-angle triangle, the side opposite the right angle is the longest and is called the hypotenuse.

Understand and recall Pythagoras’ theorem: o As a property of areas: in a right-angled triangle, the area of the

square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides.

o As a property of lengths; a2 + b2 = c2

o Appreciate that: If a2 > b2 + c2, then A is an obtuse angle. If a2 < b2 + c2 , then A is an acute angle.

Use Pythagoras’ theorem to solve simple problems in two dimensions. For example: o You walk due north for 5 miles, then due east for 3 miles. What is

the shortest distance you are from your starting point? o A ladder leans against a wall with its foot 1.5 m away from the wall.

How far up the wall does the ladder reach? Understand congruence and similarity As outcomes, Year 9 pupils should, for example:

Congruence Appreciate that when two shapes are congruent one can be mapped on

the other by a translation, reflection or rotation, or some combination of these transformations.

Know from experience of constructing them that triangles satisfy SSS, SAS, ASA or RHS are unique, but that triangles satisfying SSA or AAA are not.

Appreciate that two triangles will be congruent if they satisfy the same conditions: o Three sides are equal (SSS); o Two sides and the included angle are equal (SAS); o Two angles and a corresponding side are equal (ASA) o A right angle and a corresponding side are equal (RHS).

Use these conditions to deduce the properties of triangles and quadrilaterals.

For example: o Draw triangle ABC with AB= AC. Draw triangle ABC, AB = AC.

Draw the perpendicular from A to BC to meet BC at point D.

o Show that triangles ABD and ACD are congruent. Hence show that

the two base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal. o Use congruence to prove that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect

each other at right angles. o Consider a parallelogram with a diagonal drawn. By using alternate

angle property, use congruence to prove that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

Circles Know the parts of a circle including:

Centre, radius, diameter, circumference, chord, arc, segment, sector, tangent..

Know that: A circle is a set of points equidistant from its centre. The circumference is the distance around the circle. The radius is the distance from the centre to the

circumference. An arc is part of the circumference.

A sector is the region bounded an arc and two radii. Know that when the line;

Touches the circle at a point P, it is called a tangent to the circle at that point;

Intersects the circle at two points A and B, the line divides the area enclosed by the circle into two regions called segments;

Passes through the centre of the circle, the line segment AB becomes a diameter, which is twice the radius and divides the area by the circle into two semicircles.

Recognise that a tangent is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact P.

Use 2-D representations, including plans and elevations, to visualise 3-D shapes and deduce some of their properties As outcomes, Year 9 pupils should, for example:

Use vocabulary from the previous year and extend to: Cross-section, projection… plane…

Analyse 3 –D shapes through 2-D projections and cross-sections, including plans and elevations.

Visualise and describe sections obtained by slicing in different planes. For example: o Is it possible to slice a cube so that the cross-section is:

a. a rectangle? b. a pentagon? c. a hexagon?

Imagine you have a cube. Put a dot in the centre of each face. Join the dots on adjacent sides by straight lines. What shape is generated by these lines?


Use vocabulary from the previous years and extend to: plane symmetry, plane of symmetry… axis of rotation symmetry…

Combinations of transformations Transform 2 – D shapes by combining reflections, rotations and

translations. Know that reflections, rotations and translations preserve length and angle, and map objects on to congruent images.

Use mental imagery to consider a combination of transformations and relate the results to symmetry and other properties of the shapes. For example: o Say what shape the combined object and image(s) form when:

a. a right-angled triangle is reflected along its hypotenuse; b. a square is rotated three times through a quarter turn about a

corner; c. a scalene triangle is rotated through 180o about the mid-point of

one of its sides. Work practically when appropriate, solve problems such as:

o Reflect this quadrilateral in the y- axis. Then reflect in both shapes in the x-axis. In the resulting pattern, which lines and which angles are equal in size?

Some congruent L-shapes are placed on a grid in this formation.

Describe transformations from shape C to each of the other shapes.

Suggest appropriate units to estimate or measure speed. For example, estimate or suggest units to measure the average speed of: o An aeroplane flying to New York from London, o A swimmer in a race, a snail in motion…


Compound measures Use and read:

Speed, density.. and units such as miles per hour (mph) and meters per second (m/s).

Understand that: o Rate is a way of comparing how one quantity changes with anther,

e.g. a car’s fuel consumption is litres per 100km. o The two quantities are usually measured in different units and ‘per’,

the abbreviation ‘p’ or an oblique ‘/’ is used to mean ‘for every’ or ‘in every’.

Know that if a rate is constant(uniform), then the two variables are connected by a simple formula. For example:

o Speed = distance travelled time taken

o Density = mass of object volume of object

Know that if a rate varies, the same formula can be used to calculate the average rate.

Solve problems involving average rates of change. For example: o The distance from London to Leeds is 190 miles. An intercity train

takes about 2 ¼ hours to travel from London to Leeds. What is its average speed?

Deduce and use formulae to calculate lengths, perimeters, area and volumes in 2-D and 3-D shapes As outcomes, Year 9 pupils should for example:

Use vocabulary from the previous year and extend to: Circumference, π… And the names of the parts of a circle.…

Calculate the circumference of circles and arcs of circles. For example: o The diameter of King Arthur’s Round Table is 5.5m. A book claims

that 50 people sat round the table. Assume each person needs 45 cm round the circumference of the table. Is it possible to sit 50 people around it?

Interpret diagrams, graphs and charts, and draw inferences from data representations to support and to cast doubt on initial conjectures. For example:

o Interpret pie charts, e.g. showing how British adults spend their time.

Consider this graph records the average time occupations of adults. If only every second adult had paid work, about how many hours would the paid workers be working each week?

20 hours 30 hours 40 hours 54 hours o Interpret frequency diagrams.

Probability Use the probability scale; find and justify theoretical probabilities

Know that the sum of probabilities of all mutually exclusive outcomes is 1. Use this to solve problems. For example: o A number of discs are placed in a bag. Most are marked with a

number 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. The rest are unmarked. The probabilities of drawing out a disc marked with a particular number are:

P(1) = 0.15 P(2) = 0.1 P(3) = 0.05 P(4) = 0.35 P(5) = 0.2

What is the probability of drawing a disc: a. marked 1, 2 or 3 b. not marked with a number?
