Year 7: Number and Algebra

This strand focuses on building a strong foundation with numbers and introducing algebraic thinking.

Number: Working with positive and negative integers (whole numbers), understanding index notation (e.g., 4³ x 7³) and square roots.

Fractions, Decimals & Percentages: Solving problems using all four operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide) with fractions and decimals. This includes finding equivalences between them and using them for financial decisions, like "best buys."

Algebra: Using variables (letters) to represent numbers, solving simple linear equations (e.g., 2x + 3 = 11), and plotting points on a Cartesian plane (a graph with x and y axes).
