Year 7 Maths

Two students in Year 7 were asked to share their experience of how their Maths lessons have been since they have started at Penwortham Girls’ High School:

In every Maths lesson, the first thing we complete is a silent starter from our starter booklet. Sometimes we have a basic skills starter and sometimes they are problem solving questions (conditional knowledge). One of the first topics we covered in Maths was rounding to 10, 100s and 1000s, rounding to a given number of decimal places and we recently learnt how to round to significant figures.

We have recently started learning how to add and subtract positive and negative numbers and will soon be learning how to multiply and divide negative numbers as well.

Our Maths homework is set every Thursday and for that, it is set on a website called Sparx Maths. We have been given orange exercise books to show our working out in our homework as it is really important to do so. We can also use our exercise books to help us if we are given bookwork checks, otherwise they will come more often if we get them wrong.

Our Maths lessons have been really interesting so far, and we both feel like we are becoming more confident. We’re looking forward to all the different units that we will be covering.
