Core concept 6.3 introduces translation, rotation, reflection and enlargement. It explores the degrees of freedom available, in terms of what does and doesn’t vary for each one.
Core concept 5.3 introduces probability as a way to quantify, explore and explain likelihood and coincidence, and to reason about uncertainty.
Core concept 3.2 introduces trigonometric functions through the unit circle. Ideas of similarity, scale factor and multiplicative relationships are integrated to explore problem-solving.
Core concept 4.2 introduces x- and y-coordinates as input and output of a function. It explores linear and quadratic functions, and how linear graphs can solve simultaneous equations.
Core concept 6.2 covers how the formulae for perimeter, area and volume are derived and connected, and the importance of reasoning mathematically to solve a range of problems.
Core concept 5.2 explores making informed choices about which statistical analysis and representation to use for different types of data, as well as the effect on interpretation.
Core concept 1.2 focuses on factors, multiples and primes, exploring various representations to support understanding of highest common factors and lowest common multiples.
Core concept 4.1 covers sequences through exploration of the mathematical structure. It also introduces the idea of the nth term of a linear sequence.
Core concept 1.4 concerns the generalisation of number structures, the use of algebraic symbols, and techniques for their manipulation. The rearranging of formulae is also explored.
Core concept 5.1 covers measures of central tendency, work with grouped data and measures of spread, as well as the construction of scatter graphs and pie charts.
Core concept 3.1 explores fractions, percentages, ratio and proportion (direct and inverse) as contexts in which multiplicative relationships are used.
Core concept 6.1 covers angle facts and the geometry of intersecting lines, similarity and congruence, and Pythagoras’ theorem.
Core concept 2.1 offers guidance on developing understanding of the mathematical structures that underpin standard procedures for calculation with decimals, fractions and directed numbers.
Core concept 1.1 covers the structure of our place-value system (particularly as it relates to decimals) and rounding numbers to a required number of decimal places or significant figures.
Core concept 2.2 explores how linear equations are effectively the formulation of a series of operations on unknown numbers and how solving them involves undoing these operations.
Core concept 1.3 covers the conversion of decimals to fractions (and vice versa), ordering positive and negative integers, fractions and decimals, and the expression of numbers in standard form.
Core concept 6.4 explores: triangles of given lengths; a perpendicular bisector of a line segment; a perpendicular to a given line through a given point; an angle bisector.

Core concept 6.3 introduces translation, rotation, reflection and enlargement. It explores the degrees of freedom available, in terms of what does and doesn’t vary for each one.
Core concept 5.3 introduces probability as a way to quantify, explore and explain likelihood and coincidence, and to reason about uncertainty.
Core concept 3.2 introduces trigonometric functions through the unit circle. Ideas of similarity, scale factor and multiplicative relationships are integrated to explore problem-solving.
Core concept 4.2 introduces x- and y-coordinates as input and output of a function. It explores linear and quadratic functions, and how linear graphs can solve simultaneous equations.
Core concept 6.2 covers how the formulae for perimeter, area and volume are derived and connected, and the importance of reasoning mathematically to solve a range of problems.
Core concept 5.2 explores making informed choices about which statistical analysis and representation to use for different types of data, as well as the effect on interpretation.
Core concept 1.2 focuses on factors, multiples and primes, exploring various representations to support understanding of highest common factors and lowest common multiples.
Core concept 4.1 covers sequences through exploration of the mathematical structure. It also introduces the idea of the nth term of a linear sequence.
Core concept 1.4 concerns the generalisation of number structures, the use of algebraic symbols, and techniques for their manipulation. The rearranging of formulae is also explored.
Core concept 5.1 covers measures of central tendency, work with grouped data and measures of spread, as well as the construction of scatter graphs and pie charts.
Core concept 3.1 explores fractions, percentages, ratio and proportion (direct and inverse) as contexts in which multiplicative relationships are used.
Core concept 6.1 covers angle facts and the geometry of intersecting lines, similarity and congruence, and Pythagoras’ theorem.
Core concept 2.1 offers guidance on developing understanding of the mathematical structures that underpin standard procedures for calculation with decimals, fractions and directed numbers.
Core concept 1.1 covers the structure of our place-value system (particularly as it relates to decimals) and rounding numbers to a required number of decimal places or significant figures.
Core concept 2.2 explores how linear equations are effectively the formulation of a series of operations on unknown numbers and how solving them involves undoing these operations.
Core concept 1.3 covers the conversion of decimals to fractions (and vice versa), ordering positive and negative integers, fractions and decimals, and the expression of numbers in standard form.
Core concept 6.4 explores: triangles of given lengths; a perpendicular bisector of a line segment; a perpendicular to a given line through a given point; an angle bisector.
