Year 7 Mathematics
In Year 7 you will build upon the ideas met in Key Stage 2 and learn new skills that will prepare you for your time at Farlingaye and even beyond. For example, you will study cobweb diagrams, discover chaos and wonder at the beauty of fractals. You will spend much of the first term studying geometry for "...experience proves that anyone who has studied geometry is infinitely quicker to grasp difficult subjects than one who has not." Plato - The Republic , Book VII, 375 B.C.
The map below outlines the topics you will meet in year 7.
What you should do in order to fulfil your potential and succeed in year 7:
Maths is not a spectator sport; you cannot learn maths by just watching or listening – do your best to complete all tasks set in class and for homework.
Be prepared – not only by having the correct equipment but by being ready to work hard and by being resilient.
Reflect on what you can do better and how you can improve – you are responsible for your own effort, attitude and behaviour and consequently the progress you make.
Finally, you should remember that maths is the only subject you study that is an art, a science and worth studying for its own sake. You will meet ideas that have changed the course of history. Mathematics is not about learning rules but rather using your imagination and creativity.
