Numbers in the Rearview, Algebra Begins

Week 1 Revision

Number Mastery

Integer arithmetic Factors & multiples Fractions Decimals Percentages

Coming straight off selective prep — a fast drill-style session that confirms fluency and patches any gaps before algebra begins.

Week 2

Introduction to Formal Algebra

Variables & expressions Substitution

The first genuinely new content. We introduce the language of algebra and ground abstract notation through substitution with familiar values.

Week 3

Like Terms & Equivalent Expressions

Equivalent expressions Collecting like terms

Students learn what makes terms “like” at a conceptual level — not just as a mechanical rule.

Week 4

Multiplying, Dividing & Expanding

Algebraic multiplication & division Expanding brackets

The distributive law, with intuition for why expanding works before any mechanical practice.

Week 5

Indices, Primes & Applied Algebra

Applied algebra problems Index notation Prime decomposition Squares & square roots

Closes out Year 7 algebra with applied problems, and introduces index notation as a natural extension.

Week 6

Complex Expanding & Factorising

Double-bracket expansion Factorising by HCF

A satisfying escalation into harder algebra — students see that algebra has real structure, not just rules to memorise.

Term 2 Test & Review

Week 7 · No new content
Term 3 · 10 weeks · 9 sessions + review

Algebra Deepens, Equations & Linear Relationships

Week 1

Index Laws

Multiplication & division laws Zero index Power of a power

Formal index laws with pronumerals — clean, rule-based content that rewards precision.

Week 2 Extension

Algebraic Fractions

Adding & subtracting Multiplying & dividing

The algebraic analogue of fraction operations — students lean on existing fluency to handle pronumerals.

Week 3

Negative Integers

Signed arithmetic Order of operations Substitution with negatives

A complete session on signed number arithmetic, connecting back to algebra through substitution.

Week 4

Introduction to Equations

What is an equation? Equivalent equations Systematic solving

Formal equation solving introduced carefully, with strong emphasis on the balance model.

Week 5

Equations with Fractions, Brackets & Formulas

Equations with fractions Equations with brackets Using formulas

Extends equation solving to messier forms, and applies it through substitution into simple formulas.

Week 6

Advanced Equations

Pronumerals on both sides Applied equation problems Simple quadratics

A first engaging taste of quadratics (x² = k) — a glimpse of where high school algebra is heading.

Week 7

The Cartesian Plane & Linear Relationships

The Cartesian plane Tables of values Finding rules from tables

Re-introduces the Cartesian plane in the context of linear relationships — rule to graph, graph to rule.

Week 8

Gradient & Gradient-Intercept Form

Gradient as steepness y = mx + b

y = mx + b is the central idea of linear algebra — it recurs through all of high school, so we spend real time here.

Week 9

Linear Graphs, Distance-Time & Beyond

x-intercepts Solving equations graphically Distance-time graphs Non-linear graphs

Completes linear relationships with distance-time as the headline real-world application, and previews the curves to come.

Term 3 Test & Review

Week 10 · No new content
Term 4 · 10 weeks · 9 sessions + review

Geometry, Measurement, Pythagoras & Data

Week 1

Angles & Parallel Lines

Triangle & quadrilateral types (revision) Vertically opposite angles Parallel lines & transversals

Rapid revision of shape classification, then proper work on angle relationships at a point and across parallel lines.

Week 2

Triangles, Quadrilaterals & Polygons

Triangle angle sum Exterior angles Polygon properties

Pushes into proof-adjacent reasoning, with formal angle-sum arguments for triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons.

Week 3

Congruent Figures & Triangles

Congruent figures Congruence tests (SSS, SAS, AAS, RHS)

The four congruence tests — one of the most logically satisfying topics in junior high school geometry.

Week 4

Similar Figures, Triangles & Scale Drawings

Similar figures Similar triangles Scale drawings

Similarity as a natural extension of congruence, with scale drawings as a direct real-world application.

Week 5

Circles, Circumference & Arc Length

Frequently Asked Questions

High School Maths Mastery is designed for Year 6 students — especially those who have completed the selective test and are already confident with Year 6 maths content. It's ideal for students who want to stay challenged and hit the ground running when they start Year 7.

The course covers the full Year 7 NSW Mathematics syllabus. This includes algebra, negative numbers, fractions and decimals, ratios, coordinate geometry, angles, 2D and 3D shapes, area and volume, statistics and probability, and more. Students graduate from primary maths into genuine high school content.

The course begins the week of 11 May — part way through Term 2, after a one-week break following the selective test. This timing is intentional: students have just finished an intensive exam period and benefit from a brief reset before diving into new content.

No. While the course is timed around the selective test calendar, any Year 6 student who is confident with primary-level maths is welcome. The key requirement is readiness for Year 7 content, not selective test participation.

The content aligns with the NSW Year 7 syllabus, but students cover it months before their peers — giving them a significant head start. Classes are capped at 8 students, so they receive far more individual attention than a typical school classroom. Students enter Year 7 having already seen the material, which builds confidence and frees them to engage more deeply in class.

Classes are capped at 8 students. This small group size ensures every student receives meaningful attention and can ask questions without hesitation.

Each session runs for 2 hours. This gives students enough time to learn new concepts, work through guided examples, and complete practice problems — without the fatigue of a longer class.

Both. Students can attend in-person at our Parramatta centre or join online. You can switch between formats with notice to our admin team if your circumstances change.

We've built in a one-week break after the selective test before the course begins. The course itself is also a change of pace — instead of timed exam drills, students explore new mathematical concepts at a depth that's genuinely engaging. Most students find it refreshing rather than exhausting.

With a maximum of 8 students per class, our tutors can identify and address gaps quickly. If a student needs extra support on a particular concept, their tutor will provide targeted guidance during and after the session. The dashboard also tracks progress so parents can see exactly where their child stands.

Yes — mid-term enrolment is available. Families pay pro-rata for the remaining sessions in the term, so you're never charged for classes that have already passed.

The Test Academy dashboard gives parents a clear view of their child's performance — including topic-by-topic progress, assessment results, and personalised teacher feedback after every session.

Just stationery, a snack, and water. All printed materials, worksheets, and resources are provided by us.

We offer a free first session subject to availability. It's a no-commitment way to see if the course is the right fit for your child.

Yes. We offer a 5% sibling discount when two or more children from the same family are enrolled, and a 5% returning student discount for families re-enrolling with us. Multi-term discounts are also available during online enrolment.
