1. Geometric & Spatial Reasoning · Solve contextual, geometric problems involving the Pythagorean Theorem and the volume of geometric figures to explain real phenomena.

1. Angles in triangles (age 11+): Derive and apply formulae for the area of triangles, parallelograms, and trapezia, and for the volume of cuboids and other prisms (including cylinders), connecting each formula to its geometric reasoning
2. Types of angles (age 13+): Apply Pythagoras’ Theorem (a² + b² = c²) to calculate unknown side lengths in right-angled triangles, including in real-world and coordinate-geometry contexts
3. 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

2. Functional & Graphical Reasoning · Justify and use various strategies to solve systems of linear equations to model and explain realistic phenomena.

1. 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
2. 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

3. Functional & Graphical Reasoning · Solve practical, linear problems involving situations using bivariate quantitative data.

1. Scatter Graphs & Correlation: Describe simple mathematical relationships between two variables using scatter graphs, identify positive, negative, or no correlation, and use a line of best fit to make predictions

4. Functional & Graphical Reasoning · Describe the properties of functions to define, evaluate, and compare relationships, and use functions and graphs of functions to model and explain real phenomena.

1. Linear Function Graphs: Recognise that a linear function produces a straight-line graph, understand the relationship between an equation of the form y = mx + c and its graphical representation, and interpret gradient and y-intercept in context

5. Patterning & Algebraic Reasoning · Show and explain the connections between proportional and non-proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations; create and interpret graphical mathematical mo

1. 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

6. Numerical Reasoning · Solve problems involving radicals and integer exponents including relevant application situations; apply place value understanding with scientific notation and use scientific not

1. Square and cube numbers: Use integer powers and associated real roots (square, cube, and higher); recognise powers of 2, 3, 4, and 5; distinguish between exact representations of roots and their decimal approximations
2. 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

7. Mathematical Practices · Display perseverance and patience in problem-solving. Demonstrate skills and strategies needed to succeed in mathematics, including critical thinking, reasoning, and effective

1. Constructing mathematical arguments: Construct and present logical mathematical arguments involving multiple steps and formal reasoning; critique others' reasoning about fractions, algebra, ratio, or geometry and clearly explain errors or alternative approaches
