Year 7 Mathematics
Support Semester 2
Overview
Year 7 support students will follow the same curriculum as the standard Year 7 program, but at a modified level, as far as possible. The students will develop an elementary understanding of mathematics by completing topics in the content strands of Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Statistics and Probability. Some students may be on individual education programs more suited to their ability.
Topics
Topics will include:
- percentages
- operations with integers
- 2D figures
- Perimeter, area and volume
- probability
- summary statistics
Further elaboration of the topics covered may be found in program of learning issued to the students at the commencement of the course.
Assessments
Assessment will include investigations which require application of acquired knowledge to new situations and problem solving ability, tests and examinations as appropriate to the group.
Reporting
A brief interim report on class work and behaviour will be issued towards the end of Term 1. The achievement for the course will be reported as a College A - E grade in both Semester 1 and Semester 2. In addition, the student's approach to class work and behaviour will be reported via the usual key performance indicators.
Student expectations
Students are expected to:
- bring the required text, calculator and stationery to each lesson
- complete regular homework from a variety of sources including the text, worksheets and MathsOnline
