MATHEMATICS LEARNING OVERVIEW 2010-2011

During the 1st term Foundation students will study

Area and perimeter of 2 D shapes (e.g. trapezium, parallelogram and triangles) and compound shapes and transformations. They will revisit areas such as simplifying, factorising and linear graphs in algebra.

Higher students will study Graphs of different functions; solve equations using trial and error method.

At end of each topic students are assessed on a 60 minute end of chapter test.  

Foundation students will study probability, Ratio and proportion, equations & inequalities and
Transformation.

Higher students will cover topics such as Indices, Standard form and surds, Probability, Constructions, loci and congruence, circle theorems.

There will be some early entries in November.

At the end of each topic all students are assessed on a 60 minute end of chapter test.

1st week in December students will sit for a mock Exam.

Foundation students  will learn how to analysis and draw scatter graphs under data, Pythagoras theorem and 3-D coordinates

Higher students will study topics such as Pythagoras theorem in 3-D and further trigonometry, solving quadratic simultaneous equations under Algebra, Similarity, similar shapes and Vectors.

At end of each topic students are assessed on a 60 minute end of chapter test.

Students will sit for a second mock Exam.

Students in foundation groups will start revision on ALEBRA, DATA, NUMBER AND GEOMERY

Most students will practise exam questions and do past papers.
 
Higher students will study transformation of functions. Once they complete this topic higher students will start their revision on number, shapes, data and algebra and   answer exam questions using past exam papers.
