Units
Unit 1 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
Measuring what mattersTurn a fuzzy goal like "fun" into something you can count, and learn what every count leaves out.
Unit 2 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
Patterns in mathematicsMeet triangular and square numbers, spot their patterns, and explain why those patterns always work.
Unit 3 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
Primes, HCF and LCMBreak any number into primes, then use those primes to find the biggest shared factor and the first shared multiple.
Unit 4 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
Negative numbersPlace, compare and add numbers on both sides of zero, from freezing mornings to bank debts.
Unit 5 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
Dividing fractionsFind out how many of one fraction fit inside another, and see why "flip and multiply" is not a magic trick.
Unit 6 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
Fluency with decimalsAdd, subtract, multiply and divide decimals with confidence, and know where the decimal point belongs and why.
Unit 7 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
Ratios and ratesCompare quantities that grow together, from chai recipes to speeds, and use tables, number lines and unit rates to solve problems.
Unit 8 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
Percent problemsUse percent as a rate per 100 to find a part, find a whole and make sense of discounts, marks and changes.
Unit 9 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
Expressions with lettersUse a letter to stand for a number, write rules like a taxi fare as expressions, and see why 3(x + 4) and 3x + 12 are the same.
Unit 10 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
Equations and inequalitiesTreat an equation as a balance, undo one operation at a time to find the unknown, and graph inequalities that have many answers.
Unit 11 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
Lines and anglesUse three simple angle facts to find angles you cannot measure, from a signpost to a crossing of two roads.
Unit 12 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
ConstructionsDraw circles, perpendicular bisectors and exact angles with only a compass and a ruler, and see why they must be right.
Unit 13 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
SymmetryFind the mirror lines and turns that leave a shape looking the same, and use them to design rangoli and tile patterns.
Unit 14 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
Area of triangles and polygonsCut, slide and double shapes you already know to discover the area formulas for parallelograms, triangles and trapeziums.
Unit 15 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
Surface area and volumeUnfold boxes and prisms into nets to find the paper that wraps them, then count the cubes that fill them, even with half-unit edges.
Unit 16 · reading, lab, quick check, quick check, task
Data distributionsAsk questions that have varied answers, then describe the centre, spread and shape of the data with means, medians, IQR, dot plots, histograms and box plots.
