Blue emphasised text signifies Year 9 extension objectives.

The 'example' links below objectives connect to a supplement of examples that illustrate what pupils should know and be able to do within a particular strand by the end of the year.

Year 7Year 8

4 Geometry and measures

4.3 Construction and loci

use a ruler and protractor to:
  • measure and draw lines to the nearest millimetre and angles, including reflex angles, to the nearest degree
  • construct a triangle, given two sides and the included angle (SAS) or two angles and the included side (ASA)
