The first year of MYP mathematics. Place value and the number system, percentages and fractions, first steps in algebra, angles and constructions, collecting data, and area and volume.
Calculators. No graphing calculator. A scientific calculator only where it helps the learning; every lesson is labelled No calculator or Scientific calculator.
Each unit is coloured by its main strand. Its lessons are being written in order, Unit 1 first; a unit says Lessons coming until they are live. The concepts under each unit open on the Coherence Map, which shows what each one builds on and where it leads.
How place value works for whole numbers and decimals, powers and roots, primes and factors, rounding, and the order of operations.
On the map: Place value and decimals, Powers, squares and roots, Factors, multiples and primes, Prime factorization, Common factors and multiples, Order of operations, Rounding and estimating.
A percentage as a number out of 100: finding a percentage of an amount, working back to the whole, and percentage increase and decrease.
On the map: Fractions, decimals and percentages, Percentages of amounts, Percentage increase and decrease.
Describing a growing pattern with a rule, writing and simplifying expressions, and solving equations by undoing what was done.
On the map: Patterns and sequences, Variables and expressions, Term-to-term and position rules, Collecting like terms, Function machines, Solving simple equations.
Measuring and reasoning with angles, parallel lines and triangles, and accurate constructions with a ruler and compasses.
On the map: Points, lines and angles, Angles at a point and on a line, Angles with parallel lines, Triangles and their angles, Ruler and compass constructions.
Fractions as points on the number line: equivalence, the four operations, and why some decimals stop while others repeat.
On the map: Equivalent fractions, Adding and subtracting fractions, Multiplying and dividing fractions, Terminating and recurring decimals.
Types of data, frequency tables, and choosing the chart that shows what the data actually says.
On the map: Types of data, Frequency tables, Bar charts, pie charts and line graphs.
Perimeter and area of rectangles, triangles, parallelograms and compound shapes, nets, and the volume of a prism.
On the map: Perimeter and area, Area of triangles and parallelograms, Area of compound shapes, Nets and surface area, Volume of cuboids and prisms.
