What Your Child Will Learn with Alex

As an experienced Year 7 Mathematics tutor, Alex strictly adheres to the official Victorian Curriculum. She ensures your child masters all required areas and meets the achievement standards set by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority. Here's what they'll cover throughout the year:

Number Skills

Alex will guide your child through working with integers, square roots, fractions, decimals, and percentages. We'll practice calculations using mental strategies and digital tools, ensuring they can solve real-world problems with confidence.

Introduction to Algebra

Your child will learn to use variables, create and evaluate algebraic expressions, and solve simple equations. We'll also explore graphs on the Cartesian plane—essential skills for more advanced mathematics.

Practical Geometry

We'll calculate areas and volumes, examine 3D objects from different perspectives, and investigate angles formed when lines intersect. These spatial reasoning skills build a strong foundation for future years.

Data Analysis & Probability

Your child will collect and interpret data, create various graphs, and calculate statistics like mean, median, and range. We'll also explore probability concepts through practical experiments.

Real-World Applications

Throughout our sessions, I emphasise practical applications including "best buys" calculations, financial math, and analysing graphs from real-life situations.
