Key Skills
Pupils continue in year 7 build upon the key mathematical skills and concepts they completed at KS2, with a focus on numerical calculations and an introduction to algebra. Pupils will become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, developing deep conceptual understanding through concrete, pictorial and abstract representations resulting in an ability to recall and apply knowledge efficiently.
