Course overview
Year 7 Maths course at a glance
Build strong mathematical foundations through a structured home-study course covering number, geometry, fractions, algebra and decimals, with regular practice and assessment throughout.
Course level
Key Stage 3 · Year 7
The first year of Oxford Home Schooling’s three-year Key Stage 3 Maths programme.
Course structure
6 modules · 15 lessons
Work progressively through number, geometry, fractions, algebra and decimals.
Learning approach
Master each skill in sequence
Mathematical ideas are introduced step by step so that each new skill builds securely on what has already been learned.
Practice
Activities throughout
Every lesson contains questions and activities designed to develop understanding through regular mathematical practice.
Assignments
6 tutor-marked assignments
Each module ends with a Tutor-marked Assignment to help students and parents monitor progress.
Assessment
No final examination
Progress is checked through activities, self-assessment and Tutor-marked Assignments rather than a final exam.
Study pace
Progress at the right speed
Students can spend longer on difficult topics or move ahead more quickly once they have mastered the necessary skills.
Progression
Continue through Years 8 and 9
The full Key Stage 3 course is designed to build towards later GCSE or IGCSE Maths study.
Maths that moves at the student’s pace
The important thing is to master each skill before moving on. Home study allows students to spend the time they need on each topic rather than being tied to the pace of a classroom.
How it works
How your Year 7 Maths course works

Review
Learn from mistakes
Some lessons include self-assessment activities, while lesson activities and answers allow students to check their work and identify anything they need to practise again.
Final assessment
No final examination
Year 7 Maths focuses on mastering the skills taught during the course rather than preparing for an external examination.
Working method
