Wargomerrin News - Year 7

Celebrating Year 7 Maths

In Year 7 Mathematics students will focus on Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry and Statistics and Probability. Students will use problem solving skills for a range of different equations including addition and subtraction of integers along with index notation and square roots. 

Students will solve fractions, decimals, percentages and their equivalence, use variables to represent arbitrary numbers and connect laws and properties to algebra, compare the cost of items to make financial decisions and plot points on a Cartesian plane and interpret and analyses.

In Measurement and Geometry students will use formulas to find the area and perimeter of rectangles, classify triangles and quadrilaterals, state the types of angles formed by transversal crossing parallel lines, describe and sketch three-dimensional objects and calculate the volume of rectangular prisms. 

In Statistics and Probability students will identify issues involving the collection of discrete and continuous data from primary and secondary sources, construct stem-and-leaf and dot plots, identify or calculate mean, median, mode and rang and determine the sample space for simple experiments with equally likely outcomes.
