Year 7 Autumn Term Learning Objectives
Algebra 2
All should be able to :
Recognise and extend number sequences formed by counting from any number in steps of constant size, extending beyond zero when counting back.
Know squares to at least 10 10.
Most should be able to :
Generate and describe simple integer sequences.
Generate terms of a simple sequence, given a rule (e.g. finding a term from the previous term, finding a term given its position in the sequence).
Generate sequences from practical contexts and describe the general term in simple cases.
Express simple functions in words, then using symbols; represent them in mappings.
Use letter symbols to represent unknown numbers or variables.
Suggest extensions to problems by asking What if?; begin to generalise and to understand the significance of a counter-example.
Some should be able to :
Generate terms of a linear sequence using term-to-term and position-to-term definitions of the sequence, on paper and using a spreadsheet or graphical calculator.
Begin to use linear expressions to describe the nth term of an arithmetic sequence.
Represent mappings expressed algebraically.
Number 10
All should be able to
Read and write whole numbers in figures and words.
Use decimal notation for tenths and hundredths; know what each digit represents in numbers with up to two decimal places. Calculate a temperature rise and fall across 0 C. Know squares to at least 10 10.
Use informal pencil and paper methods to support, record or explain additions and subtractions. Develop calculator skills and use a calculator effectively.
Understand and use decimal notation and place value; multiply and divide integers and decimals by 10, 100, 1000, and explain the effect.
Compare and order decimals in different contexts; know that when comparing measurements they must be in the same units.
Understand negative numbers as positions on a number line; order, add and subtract positive and negative integers in context.
Consolidate the rapid recall of number facts, including positive integer complements to 100 and multiplication facts to 10 10, and quickly derive associated division facts. Make and justify estimates and approximations of calculations.
Use standard column procedures to add and subtract whole numbers and decimals with up to two places. Enter numbers and interpret the display in different contexts (decimals, money). Solve word problems and investigate in a range of contexts: number; compare and evaluate solutions.
Add, subtract, multiply and divide integers.
Recall known facts, including fraction to decimal conversions; use known facts to derive unknown facts, including products such as 0.7 and 6, and 0.03 and 8.
