In the UK the National Curriculum has been created by the government as a teaching
framework for state financed schools. It covers an extensive range of subjects and is
structured as Key Stages ranging from 1 to 4. The Omega 321 Programme provides
exercises which are important for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. However it must be
stressed the Omega 321 Programme does not comprehensively cover all the material
required for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 but can be used alongside the traditional learning
materials for these elements. Success at mathematics depends largely on practice and the
Omega 321 Programme offers a wide range of practice exercises.
There are various aspects to this level and the following website will provide all the
information needed for a thorough understanding of National Curriculum Key Stage 3
mathematics, click here.
The Omega 321 Programme will be particularly useful when studying the following
components of Key Stage 3 mathematics:
- Rational numbers, their properties and their different representations
- Rules of arithmetic applied to calculations and manipulations with rational numbers
- Applications of ratio and proportion
- Accuracy and rounding
- Algebra as generalised arithmetic
- Linear equations
- Formulae
- Expressions
- Identities
- Analytical, graphical and numerical methods for solving equations
- Polynomial graphs, sequences and functions
- Pythagoras' theorem
As with Key Stage 3, there are various aspects to Key Stage 4 and the following website will
provide all the information needed for a thorough understanding of National Cirriculum Key
Stage 4 mathematics, click here.
The Omega 321 Programme will be particularly useful when studying the following
components of Key Stage 4.
- Use of symbols
- Index notation
- Equations
- Linear Equations
- Formulae
- Simultaneous linear equations
- Quadratic equations
- Sequences
- Graphs of linear functions
- Interpreting graphical information
- Quadratic functions
- Higher order functions
- Real numbers, their properties and their different representations
- Rules of arithmetic applied to calculations and manipulations of real numbers
- Numbers, including standard index form
- Proportional reasoning, direct and inverse proportion, proportional change and
exponential growth
- Linear, quadratic and other expressions and equations
- Graphs of exponential and trigonometric functions
- Transformation of functions
- The Circle theorems
- Trigonometrical relationships
- Properties and combinations of transformations
- Vectors in two dimensions
The Omega 321 Programme offers a whole range of exercises to support both Key Stage 3
and Key Stage 4 of the National Curriculum. An ideal companion to work alongside
traditional learning materials.
