Year 8 MATHS

The new Year 8 Maths programme is designed to challenge and develop your child within the main aspects of the Year 8 National curriculum for Maths. 

Topics will include:

Solving Equations:

Using inverse operations to balance equations to find variables. We will quickly progress with difficulty into fractional equations and introducing simultaneous equations as well as rearranging equations.

Trigonometry and Pythagoras:

Focussing on finding missing lengths and missing angles in right angled triangles. When do we use pythagoras and when should it be trigonometry? We will also take a look at applying to 3D shapes.

Ratio

A huge unit in Mathematics! There are so many parts and we will focus on key words of questions in order to apply the correct method of sharing into a ratio.
