PLAN · PRACTISE · REVISE

Year 7 and Year 8: upper-volume chapter core practice

9 textbook chapters, 28 classroom packs and 448 fixed original questions.

Use after the corresponding textbook lessons and for chapter review. Year 7 has 50 textbook lessons and Year 8 has 52; this plan preserves their teaching sequence.

All 53 Year 7–8 upper- and lower-volume packs in Traditional Chinese and English. Includes teacher answers; student core, further practice and teacher papers are in separate folders.

Use the same bank in two ways

Ordinary classes: prerequisites 4 min, short inquiry 5, worked and guided attempts 8, independent practice 15, correction 5, exit 3. Advanced classes: inquiry 18, organise 4, selected practice 13, exit 5.

Every pack has one worked example, one guided attempt, eight core tasks, four follow-ups and two extensions. Student core worksheets contain two A4 pages; supplements and teacher references are separate.

Collect classroom evidence, then deepen the set

Record completion of the core tasks, both exit questions and two common errors. If many students cannot finish, add guidance or split a step before increasing the question count. After the chapter core set, add lesson-by-lesson variants using this evidence, then deepen the sets in both volumes.

The questions and explanations are original. Textbook and foundation page references identify the skills; the source PDFs and answer books are not reproduced. Paper answers do not create automatic scores or browser learning records.
