Review
Learn from mistakes
Activities and self-assessment help students identify techniques they understand confidently and areas that need more practice before moving on.
Progress
Secure each skill
Students are encouraged to understand each mathematical idea properly rather than simply memorising a technique.
Working method
Show your reasoning
Clear working helps students organise increasingly complex calculations and demonstrate how an answer was reached.
Revision
Overview project
The final module provides an opportunity to revisit and bring together mathematical skills developed through Key Stage 3.
Individual pace
Move on when ready
Students can take extra time where necessary or progress more quickly once the required skills have been mastered.
Completing Key Stage 3
Build a strong foundation for GCSE Maths
By the end of the three-year Key Stage 3 programme, students should be well placed to begin a GCSE or IGCSE Maths course and tackle more advanced mathematical work.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about the Year 9 Maths course
Find answers about starting the course, assessment, study pace, progression to GCSE Maths and the additional support available.
Can I start the Year 9 Maths course at any time?
Yes. You can enrol and begin studying when it suits you, then work through the course at a pace that matches your existing mathematical knowledge and confidence.
How is the Year 9 Maths course structured?
Year 9 contains 17 lessons arranged across six modules. Topics include graphwork, sequences, indices, algebra, trigonometry, bearings, averages and probability.
Do I need to have completed Years 7 and 8 first?
Year 9 builds on earlier Key Stage 3 mathematical skills. The important thing is that students have mastered the necessary foundations before tackling the more advanced topics.
Does my child have to work at a fixed Year 9 pace?
No. Students learn mathematics at different speeds. They can take longer over difficult topics or move ahead more quickly where their understanding is already secure.
How many Tutor-marked Assignments are there?
There are six Tutor-marked Assignments in Year 9, with one assignment at the end of each module.
Is tutor marking included in the subscription?
The course materials include all six Tutor-marked Assignments. Tutor marking is purchased separately, allowing you to add marking when it would be useful.
What happens if a topic is difficult?
Students are encouraged to slow down, practise the technique and understand any mistakes before moving on. The course also provides suggested weblinks offering alternative explanations.
Can I get help from a tutor?
Yes. Optional support includes assignment marking, Email Tutor Support and one-to-one online tutorials, so extra help can be added when a particular topic needs further explanation.
Does Year 9 prepare students for GCSE Maths?
Yes. The full Key Stage 3 programme is designed so that, by the end of Year 9, students should be in a good position to begin a GCSE or IGCSE Maths programme.
Can a student start GCSE Maths before Year 10?
Potentially, yes. The course introduction emphasises that students progress at different speeds. A student who has securely mastered the Key Stage 3 material may be ready to move on earlier.
