Foreword
First of all, thanks to all the parents for the support shown to our small business
www.elevenplusvocab.com. Your support and kindness are appreciated and encourages us to work
harder to produce more quality resources. As our resources are PDF format, all savings from printing
costs is passed back straight to you by keeping the product cost as low as possible! Our motto is to
make quality 11+ resources available at an affordable price that adds value to your 11+ preparation.
A number of hours and hard work have gone into each book with multiple reviews and drafts before
one is finalised for publishing, so we hope it meets and even exceeds your expectation. Keep
checking our website for new resources (and revised editions) that are added regularly.
A number of parents requested that I write a formula sheet for 11+ Maths. As such, since time
immemorial, these sheets have existed in various 11+ books. As I went through my journey of 11+
preparations, I collated a few of these. Whilst I make my best effort to not miss out something, there
is always bound to be something that will fall through the net. If you spot something missing, please
do email me on [email protected] and I will get it added here.
We welcome all feedback to keep improving our offering. Please email any feedback (good or not so
good) to [email protected].
We wish you all the very best for your 11+ preparation.

Syllabus
Syllabus for 11+ Exams has probably been blown out of proportion in the recent years, and the
market for 11+ preparations has become bigger than it needs to be. It is normal for parents to feel
anxious of under-preparing or fear of missing out on some preparation which may be vital. The
multitudes of Practice Papers and mock tests that have grown in difficulty level over the years
further fuels the speculation as to what is in the 11+ syllabus and what is not. The rough guideline is
it is effectively the KS2 syllabus – everything that is taught until the end of year 6, but you need to
know all of it at the beginning of year 6 when you take the 11+ exams.
I will try to list down a set of topics from my experience of taking my two kids through this 11+
journey and what I have seen in various publications. Where I believe some topics are seen more in
Practice Papers and less (or never) in the exam, I have marked those topics as ‘Stretch’ so you can
focus on it once you have done the other topics. Equally, it is important to note that some
independent schools will have a set of stretch topics in scope which are usually not seen in Grammar
school. And even within Grammar schools, some schools will have a simpler set of topics as scope
compared to other Grammar schools. A rule of thumb is if you are close to London area then you can
expect a slightly tougher syllabus compared to Grammar schools outside of London area. This can
also be just my perception from being part of various 11+ groups on social media where I read a lot
of posts from parents and tutors. So, please pardon me if I am wrong.
1. Numbers
a. Place value
b. Rounding up and down
c. Negative numbers
d. Addition
e. Subtraction
f. Multiplication
i. Multiplication of numbers (need to know how to multiply numbers with more than 2 digits),
including decimal multiplication
ii. Also includes multiplication by 10, 100, 1000,...
g. Division
i. Division of numbers and decimals.
ii. Division by 10, 100, 1000,...
h. Writing numbers as words
i. Number Function Machines

k. Factors and Prime Factors
l. HCF (aka GCF), LCM – Highest Common Factor, Lowest Common Multiple
m. Sequences
i. Constant difference sequence – nth term formula (could be a stretch for some schools)
ii. Sequence with increasing difference (simple questions, not formula)
iii. Sequence of squares and cubes
iv. Triangular number sequence
v. Fibonacci (stretch)
vi. Random sequences (very difficult to list down all types, these are also seen in verbal
reasoning. Some Practice Papers have gone ballistic here. In the bigger scheme of things, it is
a small thing! J Ensure you have done everything else before you start taking stress on this.)
n. Fractions
i. Additions, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division
ii. Top heavy, mixed fractions

iii. Combination of above and its application in worded problems (In some sense, the person who
is a master of Fractions will most definitely go on to do well in 11+ exams and in higher
schools. Fractions forms the basis of percentages, probability, ratio & proportion, pie charts
etc., and life in general)
iv. Conversion to percentages, decimals
o. Percentages
i. Normal percentages
ii. Reverse percentages (e.g., finding the original price for an item in sale)
iii. Percentage difference (including percentage profit, percentage loss, appreciation,
depreciation etc.)
iv. Percentages – conversion to fractions, decimals
v. Express as a percentage (e.g. 142 as a percentage of 150)
p. Decimals
i. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
ii. Conversion to percentages, fractions.
q. Ratio
i. Including application of ratio in charts e.g. pie charts
r. Proportion
s. Scale 1:n
t. Divisibility Rules (at least of 2,3,5,9)
u. Number problems / worded problems with mixed calculation.
i. Children usually take some time to get hold of this. Practise is important here. In essence this
is application of all you learn in maths! It is important they are able to break down a problem
and extract the information needed to decide on what calculations to do.
v. Squares and cubes (and you can expect to also see some simple square roots, cube root type of
questions. So, get familiar with the concept.)
2. Data Handling
a. Data tables
b. Displaying data
c. Analysing Data
d. Misleading Data
e. Mean, Mode, Median
3. Shape and Space
a. Angles (acute, obtuse, reflex, corresponding, alternate, opposite, exterior, interior, sum of interior)
b. 2D shapes (Triangles, Square, rectangle, rhombus, kite, parallelogram, pentagon, hexagon, circle, etc.)
c. 2D shapes - Area and Perimeter
d. 3D shape - Euler’s law
e. Symmetry
f. 3D shapes (volume, Euler's law, surface area, prism)
g. Shape Problems
h. Coordinates (includes translation, reflection, rotation)
i. Rotational Symmetry
j. Cyclic quadrilateral (perhaps a stretch)
4. Units and Measurements
a. Units (Metric and Imperial units).
i. Conversion from one unit to another in the same system (e.g. km to cm – more common) or
across systems (Metric to Imperial – this should be a bit rare)
b. Time (Duration, 12/24 hour format)
i. Calendar, year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds.
ii. Be sure you know which years are leap years (divisible by 4), days in a month, etc.
5. Probability
6. Money
7. Speed
a. Relationship between Speed, Distance, Time.
b. Calculating speed, calculating distance travelled, calculating time taken to cover a distance etc.
c. Understanding Distance vs Time graph.

d. This can be a tough topic for a 10 year old, especially in questions like when two drivers start at
different times and with different speed, when will they catch up.
8. Roman Numerals
a. Conversion from Roman Numerals to Decimal numbers and vice versa
9. Nets of 3D shapes
10. Graphs
a. Pie charts
b. Venn diagrams
c. Carroll diagrams
d. Distance vs Time graph (speed)
e. Comparing information
f. Combo graphs (e.g. Temperature and Rainfall across all months)
11. Basic Algebra
a. Use of expression, equivalent expression, solving basic equation, forming expression.
b. Some people may debate this is a stretch topic. I will put it as borderline stretch. Knowledge of basic
algebra is important in my opinion to solve a number of worded problems in 11+ Exams.
12. Pythagoras Theorem (stretch)
a. Quite a few publications and practice papers have questions of this. You can expect questions on these
in some independent school (if not in any Grammar school).
13. Bearings (stretch)
a. Quite a few publications and practice papers have questions on this.
b. I have seen Bearings in 11+ materials since 2009 when I was last a part time math tutor. But my sons
insist they haven’t seen bearing questions in any 11+ Exam. I wouldn’t entirely trust them!
14. Speed vs Time graphs (stretch)
a. This is effectively acceleration question. Some Practice Papers have questions on this.
b. Some understanding of this graph to work out when speed is increasing / decreasing is not a bad idea.
Although, I am not sure if it ever comes in the actual exam.
15. Indices (stretch)
a. Quite a few publications and practice papers have questions on this.
b. Questions like calculate 24 are common, but anything more complex utilising the properties of indices
are not seen in the exams, but these are not difficult to learn.
16. Simultaneous Equations (stretch)
a. Basic simultaneous equations solving is a good idea but it can be a difficult topic to learn for some.
Keep it for the last. Master basic algebra before this.
17. Circle theorems (Super-stretch)
a. Circle theorem like angle subtended by a diameter is 90°, tangent meets radius as 90°, angle subtended
by an arc at the centre of the circle is twice the size compared to that subtended on the circumference.
b. Circle theorems questions I have only seen in some Practice Papers. Unlikely that they come in the
exams, but not difficult to learn.
18. Equation of a line (Super-stretch)
a. Calculation of slope, y-intercept. I have only seen these in Practice Papers and some publications. I
doubt if these come in the actual exams.
19. Quadratic Equations (Super-stretch)
a. As far as my experience goes, Quadratic Equations are never seen in 11+ exams.
20. Bases others than 10 (Super-stretch)
a. Basically binary, hexadecimal etc. Some tuition centres teach this, but not seen in Grammar School
exams. It may feature in independent school exams, but I doubt it.
21. Factorials, Permutations and Combination (Super-stretch break-point!)
a. I really doubt if this ever comes. Also, seen very rarely in even difficult Practice Papers. One question I
remember is for multiple parallel and perpendicular lines, calculate the total number of rectangular
shapes. This I think should be a GSCE question! Unless, of course, there is an easier way to do that
question that I don’t know of yet.
The next section will talk about Formulae sheets and other important bits to know.

You can fit 3 triangles in a Pentagon You can fit in 4 triangles in a Hexagon
Interior angle of a regular polygon = 180 – exterior angle Once you know one interior angle, you can also
work out the sum of all interior angles by
multiplying it by the number of sides. This is just
another way to find the sum of all interior angles.
i Similarly, if you know the sum of all interior angles
then you can work out one individual interior angle.

Unit of measurement – Metric Units
Units Conversion Further notes
Mass or weight milligram (mg) 1mg = 0.001 g 1 g = 1000 mg
1mg = 0.1 cg 1 cg = 10 mg
centigram (cg) 1 cg = 10 mg
gram (g) 1 g = 1000 mg
1 g = 100 cg
1 g = 0.001 kg 1 kg = 1000 g
kilogram (kg) 1 kg = 1000 g
1 kg = 0.001 t 1 tonne = 1000 kg
tonne 1 tonne = 1000 kg

Prime numbers:
The prime numbers from 1 to 100 are:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97.
Note that 1 is not a prime number because it has only one factor, i.e. 1. Prime numbers need to have
exactly two factors, which is 1 and the prime number itself.
Percentage change
(7899:;:<=: 8< >?@A:)
Percentage change = B;8C8<?@ >?@A:
x 100
Don’t worry too much about whether to do (original value – final value) or (final value – original
value). Main thing is to find the difference in value. When final price is lower than original price then
you have a loss; when final value is more than original value then you have a profit.
