In this unit, pupils have learnt how to round to a given number of decimal places or significant figures and explored the effect of using rounded numbers for calculations. In the future unit, pupils will investigate the bounds and perform calculations to determine a best/worst case scenario.

The prior unit on place value allowed pupils to develop the skills needed to estimate and round values. By understanding the value of each digit, pupils can determine what other values are close to the original value. This unit continues the exploration of the infinite nature of sets of numbers.

This unit helps pupils understand rounding to different decimal places, and significant figures. Pupils will also learn how to truncate numbers and understand the contexts in which these skills are useful. The unit ends will an exploration of rounding and inequality errors.

Estimation and rounding

The sequences unit allowed pupils to explore different ways of generating sequences and then representing an arithmetic sequence graphically. This serves as an introduction to the future unit on graphical representations of linear equations.

In the prior unit, pupils extended their knowledge of plotting coordinates from KS2 by plotting non-integer values. Pupils learnt that a set of points can satisfy a relationship and this understanding is built on in this unit.

In this unit we develop knowledge of sequences to be able to identify, determine, and continue arithmetic sequences. We finish the unit by looking at how sequences may be reprsented graphically.

In this unit, pupils saw that an arithmetic sequence can be represented graphically and that this is a linear relationship. Any point on the line satisfies this relationship. In the future unit, pupils learn how to find a value that satisfies the relationship when the second value is known, without the aid of the graph.

The sequences unit allowed pupils to explore different ways of generating sequences and then representing an arithmetic sequence graphically. This served as an introduction to this unit on graphical representations of linear equations.

In this unti we develop understanding of linear relationships and explore the key features of a linear equation such as the gradient, intercept and determining an equation from coordinate pairs.

Graphical representations of linear equations

In this unit, pupils learn how to rearrange an equation to find a specific value that satisfies the equation. In expressions and formulae, pupils use their understanding of rearrangement to change the subject of a formula.

In the prior unit, pupils saw that an arithmetic sequence can be represented graphically and that this is a linear relationship. Any point on the line satisfies this relationship. In this unit, pupils learn how to find a value that satisfies the relationship when the second value is known, without the aid of the graph.

In this unit pupils will learn how to find a value that satisfies a linear relationship when one value is known both with a single step operation, and multiple step operations. A variety of cases are explored including using brackets and rearranging.

Solving linear equations

In this unit, pupils develop the skills to calculate a given percentage of an amount. In the percentages unit, this is extended to performing simple and compound interest calculations. 

The multiplicative relationship is extended in this unit by considering percentages and the connections between multiplicative relationships and direct proportion. By building on a secure understanding of fractions and ratio, pupils can see their understanding of multiplicative relationships being extended.

In this unit pupils explore multiplicative relationships with percentages, direct and inverse proportion.

Understanding multiplicative relationships: percentages and proportionality

In this unit, pupils explore different graphs and charts as a way of presenting data visually. Pupils are introduced to scatter graphs and learn how to construct them in this unit. In the future unit, this understanding is extended to using a line of best fit to allow interpolation

In this unit, pupils interpreted and constructed pie charts based on their understanding of fractions and proportion

In this unit pupils will interpret and construct a range of representations of data including bar charts, pie charts and scatter graphs.

Graphical representations of data

In this unit, pupils consider the mean, median and mode and evaluate their usefulness in a variety of contexts. In the sampling unit, pupils are given the opportunity to consider where the data came from and how it was collected and can therefore start to evaluate how good a representation the sample is of the whole population.

In this unit, pupils learnt how to calculate the mean and began to use the mean to make comparisons between two sets of data. Pupils also considered whether the mean was an appropriate way of representing the data 

In this unit pupils explore the concept of measures of central tendancy, developing understanding of different types of average and their relative benefits and drawbacks. We then investigate other summaries of data such as the range and data comparison techniques.

Numerical summaries of data

In this unit, pupils have derived the formula for the circumference and area of a circle. In the future unit, this knowledge is combined with knowledge of fractions to find the arc length and area of a sector.

 In the prior unit, pupils learnt how to derive and use the formula for the area of a triangle and trapezium. In this unit, this knowledge is called upon to find the volume of different prisms and area of composite shapes.

In this unit pupils extend their knowledge of shapes by exploring the properties of circles and composite shapes before developing understanding of 3-D shapes including surface area and volume.

Perimeter, area and volume

This unit gives pupils the opportunity to explore polygons and begin to generalise their understanding of interior/exterior angles in regular polygons. In the future unit, pupils will use the geometrical properties of a rhombus to perform various constructions

In this unit, pupils learnt how to calculate with angles at a point and angles on a straight line. In this unit, pupils extend their knowledge about angles in lines

In this unit pupils will investigate internal and external angles of polygons and angles made with a transveral and parallel lines. Pupils will develop their ability to formally prove properties of polygons to generalise.

Geometrical properties: polygons

The constructions covered in this unit are built on in the future unit. In the future unit, pupils construct triangles and construct diagrams following specific restrictions.

The prior unit gave pupils the opportunity to explore polygons and begin to generalise their understanding of interior/exterior angles in regular polygons. In this unit, pupils will use the geometrical properties of a rhombus to perform various constructions. 

In this unit we develop skills in using a pair of compasses and ruler to construct various accurate shapes and angles including triangles, rhombi, perpendicular lines and angle bisectors.
