Strategy references for Year 6,7,8,9
The following are quotes
from the Draft yearly teaching programmes in the Framework for teaching Years 7
to 9. No doubt the wording will change when the final document
appears.
Year
6
Shape, space and measures
- Use conventions and notation for 2D
coordinates in all four quadrants
Year
7
Algebra
- Generate coordinate pairs that satisfy a
simple linear rule.
- Plot graphs of simple linear functions,
where y is given explicitly in terms of x, on paper and using ICT.
- Recognise straight line graphs parallel to
the x-axis or y-axis.
- Begin to plot and interpret graphs of simple
linear functions arising from real life situations.
Shape, space and
measures
- Understand and use the language and notation
associated with reflections, translations and rotations.
- Recognise and visualise the transformation
and symmetry of a 2D shape:
- reflection in a given mirror line, and
line symmetry
- translation
- rotation about a given point, and rotation
symmetry
- explore these transformations and
symmetries using ICT
Year 8
Algebra
- Recognise that equations of the form y=mx+c
correspond to straight-line graphs
Shape, space and measures
- Understand and use the language and notation
associated with enlargement; enlarge 2D shapes, given a centre of enlargement
and a positive whole number scale factor; explore enlargement using ICT.
- Given the coordinates of point A and B, find
the midpoint of the line segment AB.
Year
9
Algebra
- Find the inverse of a linear function and
plot its graph.
- Know simple properties of quadratic
functions.
- Generate points and plot graphs of linear
functions, e.g. ay+bx=c, y+bx+c=0 on paper and using
ICT.
- Given values of m and c, find the gradient
of lines given by equations of the form y=mx+c.
- Investigate the gradients of parallel lines
and lines perpendicular to the lines.
- Plot graphs of simple quadratic and cubic
functions.
Shape, space and measures
- Transform 2D shapes by combinations of
translations, rotations and reflections on paper and
using ICT.
- Know that translations, rotations and
reflections preserve length and angle and map objects onto congruent
images.
- Enlarge 2D shapes, given a centre of
enlargement and a positive whole number scale factor, on paper and using ICT. Extends to using a fractional scale
factor, recognise the similarity of the resulting shapes.
- Identify the scale factor of an enlargement
as the ratio of the lengths of any two corresponding lines
segments.
- Recognise that enlargements preserve angle
but not length and understand the implications of enlargement for perimeter and
area.
