At Le Fevre High School, our core subjects English, Mathematics, Science, and Humanities and Social Sciences are brought together through an innovative approach called Voyage Learning. This concept connects learning across subjects, helping students explore big ideas and real-world challenges in a meaningful and integrated way. Through Voyages, students engage in authentic projects that encourage collaboration, creativity and critical thinking. This approach makes learning purposeful and relevant, ensuring students develop the knowledge and skills they need for life beyond the classroom.
In Year 7 Mathematics, learners explain their choice of rational numbers in different forms depending on context and purpose. They use exponential notation to show numbers with repeated factors. Learners make recommendations using ratios to compare quantities. They explore patterns, relationships and variations, and use algebra to interpret, extend, graph and make predictions. Learners use mathematical modelling to inform decisions in personal financial and other contexts.
Learners investigate, classify and quantify properties of angles, shapes and solids to solve problems by selecting appropriate procedures and justifications. They explain how points and 2-dimensional shapes can be transformed on a Cartesian plane.
Through collecting and organising a range of data, students inform, justify and persuade perspectives, incorporating standard measures to provide insights into the nature and display of distributions. They assess the likelihood of different events happening.
Learners develop a productive disposition to mathematics through experiences which prompt curiosity. They reflect on and explain their thinking and embrace their mistakes as part of productive struggle. They develop a view of mathematics as understandable, worthwhile and applicable to their current and future lives.

The following topics provide the framework for learning throughout the year, but not necessarily in this order:
ASSESSMENT
Students are assessed against the mathematics curriculum standards. Evidence of student achievement will be gathered through tests, investigations and reports.
THRIVE • RESPECT • INTEGRITY
