Year 3 Key Upgrade

At Grade 8, verification alone is no longer enough — you must justify: explain WHY a rule works, not just check that it does. Always state the method before applying it.

Surds & Index Laws

The six index laws, simplifying surds, rationalising denominators, standard form, and operations with irrational numbers.

Index Laws Surds Rationalising Standard Form

Functions & Equations

Linear functions (y = mx + c), graphing, simultaneous equations by substitution and elimination, intro to quadratics and factorising.

Linear Functions Simultaneous Eq. Quadratics Sequences

Trigonometry & Pythagoras

Pythagoras' theorem, SOHCAHTOA, finding sides and angles, angles of elevation/depression, 3D applications, surface area and volume.

Pythagoras SOHCAHTOA Angles 3D Shapes

Mean, median, mode, quartiles, IQR, box plots, histograms, scatter plots, correlation, and the line of best fit.
