Order of topics
Topics in green will not be covered in all classes this year, as they either represent content from Additional Mathematics or are done early to create time for Additional Maths topics in later years.

Autumn Term 1
Powers and Roots -Index laws for multiplication and division of positive and negative integer powers including zero -Evaluate numerical expressions involving integer and negative powers Straight line graphs - The gradient of a straight line - Information in linear and non-linear graphs - The midpoint of a segment - The gradient of a straight line - The equation of a straight line, y = mx + c - The equation of a line parallel to or perpendicular to a given line - Straight line through two points Percentages - Percentages as a multiplicative scale factor - Solve simple percentage problems - Reverse percentages - Compound interest and depreciation - Repeated percentage change DT and VT graphs - The relationship between average speed, distance and time - Speed, density and pressure |
Autumn Term 2
Expanding brackets - Expand the product of two or more linear expressions Quadratics – factorising and solving - Factorise quadratic expressions - Solve quadratic equations by factorisation - Form and solve quadratic equations Quadratic Graphs - Plot and recognise graphs of (linear and) quadratic functions - Find the intersection points of a linear and quadratic graph - Sketching quadratics Material up to this point will be covered in the end of term test. Standard Form - Calculate numbers in the form a × 10n where n is an integer and 1 ≤ a < 10 - Solve problems involving standard form End of term test Expressions, Equations and Formulae - Solve linear equations - Change the subject of a formula - Manipulate formulae or equations to change the subject Note: Expressions are Simplified, Equations are solved, Quadratic Expressions are Factorised, Quadratic Equations are Solved. Occasionally, Formulae may be rearranged, or an Equation may be rearranged to make a letter the subject |
