Year 7 Maths, mapped to the NSW syllabus.
The complete NSW Year 7 Mathematics course — every topic, every subtopic, every question with a fully worked solution. Authored by an experienced Australian maths teacher and aligned to the NESA Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022) at Stage 4.
What Year 7 students learn in NSW
Year 7 is the first year of Stage 4 under the NSW Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022), published by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). It marks the transition from primary to secondary mathematics and lays the foundation for every year of high school maths that follows.
Over the course of the year, students move from the arithmetic skills developed in primary school into the language of algebra, the formal study of geometry, and the beginnings of statistical reasoning. New concepts — integers, variables, the Cartesian plane, probability — are introduced alongside a deeper treatment of familiar topics like fractions, decimals, and percentages.
The course is structured around three NESA strands: Number and Algebra, Measurement and Space, and Statistics and Probability. Running through all of them is the overarching Working Mathematically outcome (MAO-WM-01), which asks students to communicate, reason, and problem-solve across every topic. Every question on this page maps to NESA outcomes and is supported by a fully worked solution.
About Stage 4
Stage 4 spans Years 7 and 8. NESA does not prescribe which specific topics belong to each year — schools decide how to distribute the content. The 13 topics below represent the Stage 4 content typically covered in Year 7 across NSW schools. Topics typically introduced in Year 8 include Indices (MA4-IND-C-01), Pythagoras' theorem (MA4-PYT-C-01), and Linear relationships (MA4-LIN-C-01).
Why Class Mathematics for NSW Year 7 Maths
Built by an Australian maths teacher with 45+ years in the classroom — every question, every worked solution, every topic.
Authored by John Kinny-Lewis, an experienced Australian maths educator. Content written by a teacher who has spent his career in Australian classrooms.
Every one of the 1,188+ Year 7 questions includes a fully worked, step-by-step solution — not just the answer.
Mapped to the current NSW Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022). Each topic shows the exact NESA outcome code it covers.
Full coverage from Year 7 through to Year 12, including Advanced and Extension. The same platform across every year of high school.
Every question, a fully worked solution
Students learn independently because every problem is worked through step by step — the way a maths teacher would explain it.

Frequently asked questions
Does Class Mathematics follow the 2022 NSW syllabus?
Yes. Class Mathematics is aligned to the NSW Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022), the current syllabus published by NESA. Every Year 7 topic maps to specific Stage 4 outcome codes — for example, Integers maps to MA4-INT-C-01 and Algebra and Equations covers MA4-ALG-C-01 and MA4-EQU-C-01. This is the syllabus NSW teachers are required to teach from.
What is the Working Mathematically outcome (MAO-WM-01)?
Working Mathematically (MAO-WM-01) is the overarching outcome that runs through every topic in the NSW Mathematics K–10 Syllabus. It asks students to communicate their reasoning, build fluency and understanding, solve problems, and reason mathematically. Unlike content outcomes that cover specific topics like integers or algebra, Working Mathematically is embedded across all of them. Every worked solution on Class Mathematics models these processes.
What topics are covered in NSW Year 7 Maths?
NSW Year 7 Maths covers 13 topics across three NESA strands: Number and Algebra (whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, percentages, algebra and equations, ratios, rates and time), Measurement and Space (angles, area and volume, geometry, the number plane), and Statistics and Probability (probability, analysing data). The course is aligned to the NSW Mathematics K–10 Syllabus (2022) at Stage 4.
Is Year 7 Maths the same as Stage 4?
Year 7 is the first year of Stage 4 in the NSW Mathematics K–10 Syllabus. Stage 4 spans Years 7 and 8, with content building across both year levels. Year 7 introduces foundational Stage 4 concepts which are then extended in Year 8. NESA does not prescribe which specific topics belong to each year — schools decide how to distribute the content.
How many topics and questions are in the Year 7 course?
There are 13 topics in NSW Year 7 Maths, divided into 117 subtopics with 1,188+ practice questions. Every question includes a fully worked solution to support independent learning.
What is the hardest topic in Year 7 Maths?
Most Year 7 students find Algebra and Equations the most challenging topic, as it introduces abstract thinking and the use of variables for the first time. Fractions and ratios are also common areas of difficulty. Consistent practice with worked solutions helps students build confidence in these topics.
How can parents help their Year 7 child with maths?
The most effective way parents can help is by ensuring regular, structured practice aligned to the NSW curriculum. Parents don't need to teach the content themselves — worked solutions guide students through each problem. Short, consistent practice sessions of 20–30 minutes several times per week are more effective than long occasional sessions.
