Can you solve proportion Try the practice question to To make 12 cupcakes I need
problems? find out! 150g of flour. How much flour
do I need to make 18
cupcakes?

12 cupcakes = 150 grams

6 cupcakes = 75 grams

12 + 6 = 18, so 150 + 75 = 225g

 How do you add and subtract Remember that the bottom
fractions? numbers MUST be the same. 4 3 𝟖 𝟑 𝟓 𝟏
− = − = =
You only add and subtract the 5 10 𝟏𝟎 𝟏𝟎 𝟏𝟎 𝟐
numerators (top numbers).
What must always line up The decimal points must line 3.84 + 12.3 =
when you add and subtract up. If you end up with spaces,
decimals? fill them with a 0 3.84
+ 12.30
16.14

How do you find the Start by finding 10% - do this Find 30% of 70
percentage of a number? by dividing the number by 10.
10% of 70 = 70 ÷ 10 = 7
If 10% = 7, 30% = 7 x 3 = 21
How do you change between To change from a mixed 2 1/3 = 2x3=6
mixed numbers and improper number, multiply the whole 6+1=7
(top heavy) fractions? number by the denominator Answer = 7/3
and add that to the
17
numerator of the fraction. /5 = 17 ÷ 5 = 3 rem.2
To change from an improper Answer = 3 2/5
fraction, divide the numerator
by the denominator.
Do you remember how to Try the practice question to Simplify: 2A + 3B + 4A – B
collect algebraic terms (ones find out!
with letters!) together? 2A + 4A = 6A
3B – B = 2B
So, our answer is 6A + 2B
When a number is written next 2A means 2 multiplied by A
to a letter (e.g. 2A), what does
it mean?
Can you solve equations to Try the practice question to Find the value of A:
find out what the letter find out!
means? 1. A + 7 = 12
A = 12 – 7
A=5

2. 2A – 4 = 10
2A = 10 + 4
2A = 14
A=7

Do you know how to read Look carefully at the scale to What number is this scale
scales? work out what each of the pointing to?
lines represents.

To get from 3kg to 4kg, the

scale has gone up in 4
sections, so each section must
be 250g.
This means the scale is
pointing to 3750g or 3.75kg

What is the mean? How do Mean is the same as average. Find the mean of:
you work it out? To find the mean/average, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8
add all the numbers together.
Then, divide that by the 2 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 8 = 25

 How do you work out the area Find the area:
of a square or rectangle? length x width

Area = 12cm x 5cm = 60cm²

How do you work out the area Find the area:

of a triangle? ½ x base x height

Area = ½ x 12cm x 5cm

= ½ x 60 = 30cm²

How do you work out the Find the volume:

volume of a cube or cuboid? length x width x height

Volume = 8cm x 5cm x 2cm

= 80cm³

How do you find the perimeter The perimeter is the total Find the perimeter:
of a shape? distance around the edge of
the shape

Don’t forget the missing sides!

Perimeter = 7cm + 6cm + 2cm
+ 4cm + 3cm + 4cm + 2cm +
6cm = 34cm

 What do the angles in a 180° Find the size of angle X
triangle add up to?

X = 180 – 54 – 38 = 88°

What do the angles in a 360° Find the size of angle X

quadrilateral add up to?

X = 360 – 100 – 62 – 54 = 144°

What do the angles on a 180° Find the size of angle X

straight line add up to?

X = 180 – 138 = 42°
