Study Notes

Algebraic Techniques

When multiplying algebraic terms, multiply the coefficients and combine the variables.
When dividing, simplify the coefficients and divide variables. Example: 12a/6b = 2a/b
Understand expanding brackets: a(b + c) = ab + ac
Define pronumerals clearly when applying algebra.
Identify and apply patterns (squares, cubes, etc.) in numerical sequences.

Decimals

Understand place value (thousands, hundreds, tens, ones, tenths, hundredths, thousandths).
Rounding decimals: follow rules (4 or below round down, 5 or above round up).
Convert between decimals and fractions, including recurring decimals.
Convert between decimals and percentages.
Perform addition and subtraction of decimals, aligning decimal points.
Multiply and divide decimals (consider the number of decimal places).
Multiply and divide by powers of 10 (move decimal place accordingly).

Angles and Geometry

Understand points (capital letter), lines, rays, segments, planes, collinear points, concurrent lines, and intersections.
Know complimentary (angles add to 90°) and supplementary (angles add to 180°).
Recognize types of triangles (scalene, isosceles, equilateral) and their properties.
Understand triangle angle sum (180°).
Know how to find the area of a triangle.
Define quadrilaterals (convex, non-convex).
Calculate the angle sum of a quadrilateral (360°).
Recognize line and rotational symmetry.

Equations

Differentiate between expressions (numbers, operations, pronumerals without an equals sign) and equations (a statement saying two things are equal).
Solve equations by inspection.
Understand equivalent equations (both sides of the equation are equal).
Solve equations systematically using a known method (BODMAS/PEMDAS in reverse).
Solve equations that include fractions (multiply both sides by the denominator).
Solve equations with brackets (collect like terms, expand brackets).
Define the subject and use formulas which relate to different mathematical concepts.
Understand how to use equations to solve real-world problems, including appropriate units.

Measurement

Convert between units of length using powers of 10 (multiply or divide by powers of ten)
Define and use terms associated with circles (diameter, radius, chord, tangent, sector, and segment).
Calculate circumference of a circle (C = 2πr or C = πd).
Calculate arc length of a sector.
Understand and calculate the perimeter of composite figures.
Know units of area (mm², cm², m², ha, km²).
Calculate the area of a rectangle (Area = length × breadth).
Calculate the area of a square (Area = side × side = s²).
Calculate the area of a triangle (Area = ½ × base × height).
Calculate the area of a parallelogram (Area = base × perpendicular height).
Calculate the area of composite shapes (add or subtract areas of component shapes).
Understand volume (cubic units) and calculate the volume of prisms (rectangular, cube, triangular).
Understand capacity (liquid measure).
Convert between units of volume.
Understand mass (grams, kilograms, tonnes).
Understand temperature and units of temperature.
Convert between units of mass.
