1. Arithmetic · Understanding real numbers

Number Sets & Infinity: Appreciate the infinite nature of the sets of integers, real numbers, and rational numbers; position integers on a number line and distinguish between rational and irrational numbers

Algebraic Transformations: Model situations or procedures by translating them into algebraic expressions or formulae and by using graphs; move between word problems, algebraic representations, tables, and graphical representations

Solving Linear Equations: Use algebraic methods to solve linear equations in one variable, including equations that require rearrangement, expanding brackets, and collecting terms on both sides; solve equations with rational number coefficients
Simultaneous Equations: Understand that two linear equations can be solved simultaneously by finding the point where their graphs intersect, and interpret this graphically and algebraically as the pair of values satisfying both equations

Tree diagrams: Generate theoretical sample spaces for single and combined events using listing, tables, and tree diagrams, and calculate theoretical probabilities as the number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of equally likely outcomes

Complementary events: Understand and apply the rule that probabilities of all mutually exclusive outcomes sum to one; use this to find the probability of a complementary event (P(not A) = 1 − P(A))

Percentages as Fractions: Define percentage as 'number of parts per hundred'; interpret percentages and percentage changes as a fraction or a decimal; express one quantity as a percentage of another; compare quantities using percentages; work with percentages greater than 100%
The Probability Scale: Understand probability as a measure on a scale from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain); use the language of probability including likely, unlikely, certain, and impossible

Experimental probability: Record, describe, and analyse the frequency of outcomes from probability experiments to develop an understanding of relative frequency as an estimate of probability

Types of angles (age 11+): Use conventional geometric terms and notation to describe, sketch, and draw points, lines, parallel and perpendicular lines, right angles, regular polygons, and reflectively/rotationally symmetric polygons

Coordinate Transformations: Identify properties of translations, rotations, and reflections; describe and perform these transformations on given figures, and understand that the image is congruent to the original

Angles with parallel lines: Understand and use the relationship between parallel lines cut by a transversal: corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and co-interior (same-side interior) angles; use these to find unknown angles

Circles: Circumference & Area: Calculate the circumference and area of circles using the formulae C = πd (or 2πr) and A = πr², and solve problems involving perimeters and areas of composite shapes that include circular parts

Trigonometry basics: Use the trigonometric ratios sin, cos, and tan in right-angled triangles to find unknown sides and angles, including setting up the correct ratio for a given problem

Proportion Graphs: Represent proportional relationships using double number lines (two parallel number lines aligned at 0) and ratio tables; recognise that equivalent ratios generate straight lines through the origin when graphed
