Indices and the real numbers, Pythagoras and first trigonometry, straight-line graphs and linear systems, solids, transformations and correlation, ending with a bridge into Year 10.
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.
Rational and irrational numbers, the laws of indices including zero and negative powers, and scientific notation.
On the map: Rational and irrational numbers, Laws of indices, Zero and negative indices, Scientific notation.
Conjecture and proof, Pythagoras' theorem, distance and midpoint, similar triangles, and the sine, cosine and tangent ratios.
On the map: Conjecture and proof, Pythagoras' theorem, Distance and midpoint, Similar triangles, Sine, cosine and tangent.
Gradient and intercept, the forms of a straight line, parallel and perpendicular lines, and linear models such as break-even.
On the map: Gradient and y = mx + c, Forms of a straight line, Parallel and perpendicular lines, Linear models and break-even.
Surface area and volume of cylinders, pyramids, cones and spheres, and how each formula connects to the prism.
On the map: Cylinders, Pyramids, cones and spheres.
Plotting two variables, describing correlation, drawing a line of best fit, and why correlation is not causation.
On the map: Scatter graphs and correlation, Line of best fit, The correlation coefficient, Correlation, causation and bias.
Reflections, rotations, translations and enlargements, and the polygon angles that decide which shapes tessellate.
On the map: Reflections, rotations and translations, Enlargement, Tessellations and polygon angles.
Multi-step equations, and solving two linear equations together by graph, substitution and elimination.
On the map: Multi-step equations, Systems of linear equations.
A short bridging unit: expanding double brackets, and the Year 9 ideas that every Year 10 unit builds on.
