Year 10 Maths

Overview

Term 

What are we learning 

 

1 

Algebra including linear graphs and compound measures(H/F

Rearranging formulae, using algebra facts from KS3; calculating and plotting coordinates, finding gradient and y intercept on a graph; calculating speed/distance/time/density/mass/volume/force/pressure/area. 

2 

Algebra, quadratic graphs and further graphs (H/F

Solving linear simultaneous equations, both graphically and algebraically; plotting quadratic graphs and using this information to find turning points and roots. 

3 

Foundation Only ; Probability, Standard Form, Simple Interest, Growth and Decay 

Higher Only Probability, Capture/Recapture, Standard Form, Further Proportion 

Foundation Only; Calculating probabilities; writing very large and small numbers in standard form; calculating simple interest in real life situations; making calculations regarding depreciation and compound interest .  

Higher Only; Calculating probabilities; writing very large and small numbers in standard form; calculating populations using data from whole and small samples; finding relationships(which are not obvious) between numbers using algebra.  

4 

Foundation Only; Further Ratio, Statistics 

Higher Only; Simple Interest, Growth and Decay, Further Ratio, Recurring Decimals 

Foundation Only; Problem solving ratio questions; calculating mean median mode in a table or graph, and calculations with statistics in real life situations.  

Higher Only; Calculating simple interest in real life situations, making calculations regarding depreciation and compound interest;problem solving ratio questions; changing recurring decimals into fractions and vice versa. 

5 

Foundation Only; Pythagoras, Trigonometry, Bearings and Scale Drawings 

Higher Only; Statistics, Surds, Bounds 

Foundation Only; Calculating missing sides and angles in right angled triangles using Pythagoras Theorem and trigonometric ratios; using compass and protractor to measure angles and define areas in scale drawings 

Higher Only; Calculating mean median mode in a table or graph, and calculations with statistics in real life situations; using surds to represent the square root of a number which is not a whole number; rationalising surds to solve equations; using bounds to ‘round’ integers and decimals and limit them to a certain size or quality. 

6 

Foundation Only; Transformations Congruence, Vectors, Construction and Loci 

Higher Only; Trigonometry, Similar Shapes, Quadratic Sequences, Plans and Elevations 

Foundation Only; Moving and scaling shapes via rotation, translation, and reflection; finding similarity with shapes regarding length of sides, using vectors to problem solve linear problems; constructing triangles, perpendicular bisectors, angles bisectors etc using ruler and compass, then using compass and protractor to measure angles and define areas in scale drawings. 

Higher Only; Using laws of trigonometry to find missing sides and angles in right angled triangles, using knowledge of shapes to compare and contrast sides to find scale factors and therefore calculate size of missing sides; manipulating quadratic expressions to find a sequence and vice versa. Using a quadratic sequence to form a quadratic expression.
