Year 7 Maths Tutoring

Grouping of positive whole numbers is the newest use of previous years’ numeric skills. Likewise, square roots and cube roots will be introduced by pairing them with squares and cubes of positive integers. Algebraic techniques using letters to substitute for words is another fresh topic introduced in year 7 maths as well as the use of algebraic symbol systems to solve algebraic expressions. An introduction to coordinate geometry will use linear expressions to explain number plane and ordered pairs. Year 7 maths will introduce statistics with sampling methods and census. In space geometry, the Pythagoras’ theorem will be introduced and properties of solids will be taught.

The algebra core content of year 7 maths will use index notations for positive integer indices as well as provide a test for integers. Apart from integers, the four numeric operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) will be performed with decimals, fractions and mixed numerals. Algebraic techniques will include expansion, simplification and factorization of algebraic expressions. With data analyses, year 7 maths will deal mostly with data collection, collation and organization. Students will also learn to determine the limits of accuracy of measurements, find areas of simple figures and surface areas of solid shapes. Classification and properties of angles, triangles and quadrilaterals will also be taught.

New conventions for algebraic expressions may pose a challenge to a year 7 maths student. Other possible areas of difficulty is with solid shapes, the application of Pythagoras’ theorem and special geometrical properties of specific solids.

Year 7 maths students should, at the end of the year, know the properties of positive integers and be able to calculate using not only fractions, decimals and percentages but also ratios and rates. The ability to use and work with algebraic symbol systems should also be learnt; especially expanding, factorizing and simplifying algebraic expressions. Data collection tools and analyses methods should also be mastered at the end of year. Ability with the Pythagoras’ theorem should also be demonstrated as well as the construction and classification of solid shapes and geometric figures.

Understanding algebraic expressions is important to year 7 maths. Working with solid geometric shapes is also essential as well as gaining a firm grasp of the Pythagoras’ theorem.

One good learning strategy that can help in year 7 is constant demonstration of methods. For algebraic expressions, the best way to learn is to solve a lot of problems. Using real models to teach solid geometry is a quick way of learning everything about surface areas, perimeters and angles.

Abstract thinking is especially central to learning year 7 maths. Dealing with algebraic expressions and geometry requires the ability to form mental pictures of shapes and a rigorous application of the conventions of algebra.

Devote quite some time to ensuring that your child gains a solid foundation in year 7 maths, especially algebra. This will help through the rest of high school. You could hire a tutor who can give the needed attention and challenge for your child to develop the mental capacity to learn quickly. It is essential that your child moves away from rote learning and rule dependency and knows how to seek genuine understanding. As maths becomes more technical, the temptation to rely on memorising rules becomes stronger but success cannot be achieved this way in mathematics.

What they say about our tutoring

Daniel is absolutely thrilled with Sheetal. I am also impressed with Sheetal’s approach and commitment. His tutoring dwells into understanding the concepts behind mathematical formulas, not just simple application, which is exactly what I had been hoping for. I am also pleased that Sheetal is open to extra lesson should Daniel need them. So in response to your question - very, very happy. I’ve been recommending you guys to my…
Morgan (my son) reckons she is fantastic, and that she is really helping him out tremendously at the moment. He says he is understanding the work etc. I think the best part is that he is listening and communicating with her
I thought our tutor was very good, and was very happy with the professionalism. Many thanks Keep up the good work.,
We are very happy with Harriet – thanks. Mikayla has found it very easy to relate to her – and Harriet is always approachable and responsive. As it has only been a couple of weeks and is now school holidays – we haven’t got any school results to go on however I am sure we will start to see results in this area. We had a negative experience with tutoring…
Thank you for your e-mail.  I have spoken to Wen from the beginning about how he finds the tutoring with Charles.  Wen advised that he is happy with Charles as Charles is very kind and very understanding tutor. Wen said Charles communicate with ease and that makes it easier for Wen to understand.  Wen said he likes that Charles teaches him the faster and straight forward methods as it is…
Thank you for the follow up. Sinan is working out fine. He has connected with Matthew well. Matthew has indicated that Sinan is explaining some of the mathematical concepts better than what his teacher is explaining, which is a good start.   Hopefully this will translate into a better maths grade.
