Progression Test Stage 8 Mathematics 2023 Paper 1

1. Algebra and number: simplifying expressions, evaluating with substitution, inequalities, mixed numbers, factorising, expanding brackets, expressions for total, solving with square roots.
2. Geometry: coordinate geometry (points on line, reflections, rotations), angle properties (parallel lines, exterior angles), transformations, symmetry and rotation orders, area of parallelogram and trapezium.
3. Probability and combinatorics: spinner outcomes and fairness, choosing and arranging digits to form numbers, spinner frequency analysis.
4. Sequences and functions: linear sequence completion, term-to-term rule identification, transformation between sequences, interval identification.
5. Statistics: stem-and-leaf diagram construction, comparing data using median, positional comparisons, interpreting reflection positions on coordinate grid.
6. Measurement and problem solving: unit conversion (miles to km), LCM and HCF in practical context (string lengths), calculator-free arithmetic with order of operations.
