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

Work through a carefully ordered sequence of lessons and activities, mastering each mathematical skill before moving on to the next stage of the course.


  1. Enrol and start online

    Enrol at any time and receive immediate access to your online course. Your included academic induction session helps you understand the course and plan your studies.


  2. Learn one step at a time

    Each lesson sets out clear aims and explains why the topic matters. Work carefully through the material in order so that each new skill builds on secure understanding.


  3. Practise what you learn

    Activities throughout each lesson give you opportunities to practise new techniques. Answers are provided so you can check your work and learn from mistakes.


  4. Check progress before moving on

    Self-assessment activities and Tutor-marked Assignments help confirm that important skills have been understood before you progress to more advanced Maths.

Flexible additional support

Add personal support when you need it

The course can be studied independently using the lesson materials and activities. Tutor marking, email support, one-to-one tutorials and printed materials can be purchased separately when useful.

Tutor-marked assignments

6 TMAs

6 Assignments
6 Course modules
1 per module Progress check

Each module ends with a Tutor-marked Assignment, giving students and parents a clear indication of how well the mathematical skills in that part of the course have been understood.

Self-assessment

Check understanding

Activities Every lesson
Answers Check your work
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

Show your working

Students are encouraged to set out each stage clearly so they develop both accurate answers and sound mathematical reasoning.

Practice

Learn through examples

Regular practice helps students encounter different versions of a problem and become more confident and flexible.

Individual progress

Move on when ready

Students can spend longer on topics they find difficult and progress more quickly when skills have already been mastered.

Build secure foundations for later Maths

Year 7 establishes the numerical, geometrical and algebraic foundations that students will develop further in Years 8 and 9 before progressing towards GCSE or IGCSE Maths.
