7.1 Positive Integers

Term 1

Positive Integers

  1. 1. Apply tests of divisibility for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10 to decide whether a number is divisible without calculating.

  3. 3. Recognise and evaluate powers (e.g. 2³ = 8) and roots (e.g. √169 = 13), including the first few square and cube numbers.
  4. 4. Continue a number sequence using a term-to-term rule.
  5. 5. Find all the factors of a number and list them systematically.
  6. 6. Identify prime numbers and explain why a number is or is not prime.
  7. 7. Write a number as a product of its prime factors using a factor tree (e.g. 12 = 2 × 2 × 3).
  8. 8. Find the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of two numbers using listing strategies.
  9. 9. Find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of two numbers using listing strategies.
  10. 10. Use a Venn diagram to find HCF and LCM from prime factor decompositions.

7.2 Directed Numbers

Term 1

Directed Numbers

  1. 1. Place positive and negative numbers correctly on a number line and describe their distance from zero.
  2. 2. Order directed numbers from smallest to largest (and vice versa).
  3. 3. Add negative numbers to both positive and negative numbers (e.g. 5 + (−3) = 2).
  4. 4. Subtract negative numbers from positive and negative numbers (e.g. 4 − (−2) = 6).
  5. 5. Multiply and divide positive and negative numbers.
  6. 6. Apply the order of operations (BIDMAS) correctly with brackets, powers, and negative numbers.

7.3 Introduction to Algebra

Term 1–2

Introduction to Algebra

  1. 1. Use correct algebraic vocabulary: term, expression, equation, variable, coefficient, constant.
  2. 2. Apply correct algebraic conventions (e.g. write 3n not n3, write n² not n × n).
  3. 3. Form simple algebraic expressions from a word description or context.
  4. 4. Form a simple equation from a problem or context.
  5. 5. Collect (simplify) like terms in an expression.
  6. 6. Write algebraic products correctly (e.g. a × b = ab, 3 × a × a = 3a²).
  7. 7. Expand a single bracket using repeated addition and the area model (e.g. 3(x + 2) = 3x + 6).
  8. 8. Substitute numerical values into simple expressions and evaluate the result.
  9. 9. Solve one-step equations formally (e.g. x + 3 = 11, 5x = 25, x ÷ 8 = 2).

7.4 Decimals & Measurement

  2. 2. Add and subtract decimal numbers, keeping digits aligned by place value.
  3. 3. Read measurement scales correctly, including those using negative values.
  4. 4. Measure and calculate the perimeter of shapes given in decimal units.
  5. 5. Multiply and divide by powers of 10 (10, 100, 1000).
  6. 6. Convert between metric units of length (mm, cm, m, km), mass (mg, g, kg), and capacity.
