Mathematics is the only school subject which requires prior
knowledge. This knowledge begins in Grade 1, and until Grade 6, largely concerns
the concrete concept of numbers.
In Grade 7 the learners are for the first time introduced to
Algebraic concepts. Algebra in “normal” language is when x’s and y’s appear in
Maths and this is when Mathematics changes from concrete to abstract.
The basics learnt in Grade 7 is very important preparation for
High School Mathematics where Algebra is studied in a lot more detail. The
ability to deal with numbers is still a necessary, but not sufficient skill,
for success in Algebra.
The foundations for High School Mathematics are therefore
laid in Grade 7 already!
