Mathematics
Year 7
The Year 7 Mathematics course focuses on developing numeracy skills, including:
- Proficiency with multiplication tables.
- Solving numeric problems using mental strategies.
- Understanding and applying fractions, decimals, and percentages.
Students will also emphasise problem-solving techniques and proper work presentation.
Topics Covered
Whole numbers, decimals, fractions, time, measurement, geometry, 3D drawings, graphing, and introductory algebra. These topics help students understand how mathematics is used in decision-making and problem-solving.
Course Structure
In Semester 1, all students complete a common mathematics course. Results from this semester determine placement into one of three streams for the remainder of the year:
- General 1 Course
Designed for advanced students, this course emphasises problem-solving and abstract thinking. Students explore Numbers, Algebra, Measurement, Geometry, Statistics, and Probability to develop conceptual understanding and reasoning skills. - General 2 Course
Tailored for students working at the Year 7 standard, this course follows the Western Australian Curriculum. It covers Numbers and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability, preparing students with essential mathematical skills for personal, work, and civic life. - Modified Course
For students who benefit from a slower pace and individualised attention. This course uses explicit instruction, real-life contexts, manipulatives, and visuals to make learning more accessible and engaging.
This structure ensures all students are supported in building a solid mathematical foundation.
