Year 9 MathsStronger reasoning. More challenging problems.
See how graphs, geometry and algebra help solve practical problems. We’ll build the reasoning to handle unfamiliar questions, not just familiar exercises.

A LOOK INSIDE YOUR LEARNING
A diagram turns a problem into a plan.
We identify what the diagram tells us before choosing a formula, then check the answer against the original situation.
Understand the concept.
Work through a clear example.

YEAR 9 · PYTHAGORAS
c² = a² + b²
A right-angled triangle has perpendicular sides of 6 cm and 8 cm. Find the hypotenuse.
See the step-by-step approach+
Identify the sides
The hypotenuse is opposite the right angle. The two shorter sides are 6 cm and 8 cm.
a = 6, b = 8
Build the calculation
Pythagoras relates the squares of the three side lengths.
c² = 6² + 8² = 100
Return to the question
Take the positive square root because this is a length. Include the units.
c = 10 cm
Choose the model, explain the steps, check the units.

THE BIG PICTURE
What you’ll learn.
Key areas we can work through together, matched to your school’s program and current level.
Number
Index laws, real numbers and financial contexts. Apply number skills to practical calculations.
Algebra
Binomial expansion, quadratics and linear relationships. Recognise structure and choose a useful algebraic method.
Measurement
Surface area, volume and practical problems. Translate a three-dimensional situation into a clear calculation.
Space
Pythagoras, trigonometry and similarity. Label the diagram and connect side lengths and angles.
Statistics
Distributions, centre and spread. Compare groups using evidence rather than impressions.
Probability
Two-stage experiments and relative frequency. Track outcomes and connect experiments to probability models.
BEYOND THE ANSWER
Skills we’ll build.
Our tutoring focus: understanding the idea, practising with purpose, and becoming more independent.
Break multi-step questions into a clear plan.
Translate between diagrams, formulas and written explanations.
Use an error log to target revision.
