Pupils continue in year 8 build upon the key mathematical skills and concepts they learned in Y7 with a focus on geometry and proportion skills. 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; Michaelmas 1 Michaelmas 2 Lent 1 Lent 2 Trinity 1 May Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr Sept Oct Nov Statistics2 Angles2 Ratio & Proportion1 Ratio & Proportion2 Statistics1 Visualisations 8 Units, perimeter, area Units, perimeter, area Angles1 and volume1 and volume2 Area and perimeter
