Scheme of Work: Maths Year Group 9

An exceptional environment for learning and discovery

Length of Enquiry (SOL)

3rd January to 10th March

Synopsis Topic / Overview

Students now will work on the Geometry and measures aspect of the curriculum.
Working on Problems involving parallel lines, 2D shapes area and perimeter to 3D
shapes volume and surface area.

Fertile Question

Whats your angle?

Key Concept/s to be learnt this Enquiry

Angles, Regular Polygons, Perimeter, Area and Volume of 2D polygons and 3D

shapes. Surface area using nets, Congruent shapes. Similar shapes

Curriculum Opportunities

SMSC

Students can apply their knowledge learnt from this scheme to Science, design and
technology, computing, IT, construction.
Students will work on how shapes can be used to aid them in life situations such as
construction and interior design. Students will look at the effects of how enlarging a
shape will lead to changes in its surface area and its volume.
