Numbers and Operations

  • A fraction can be simplified by canceling out common factors between the numerator and denominator.
  • To add or subtract fractions, find a common denominator and then add or subtract the numerators.
  • To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators separately.
  • To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply.
  • Decimals and percentages can be converted by moving the decimal point.
  • To calculate a percentage increase or decrease, find the percentage change.

Algebra

  • Linear equations can be simplified and solved by adding or subtracting the same value to both sides, and then multiplying or dividing both sides by the same value.
  • Linear equations can be represented graphically on the x-axis and y-axis.
  • Quadratic equations can be solved by factorization or by using the quadratic formula when factorization is not possible.
  • Formulae can be rearranged to isolate a specific variable by transposing the formula.
  • Substitution involves substituting given values into a formula.

Geometry and Trigonometry

  • Points, lines, and angles have specific properties, and there are different types of angles, including acute, obtuse, right, straight, and reflex angles.
  • Triangles can be congruent, similar, or right-angled, and the Pythagorean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
  • Trigonometric ratios include sine, cosine, and tangent.
  • Circles have properties such as a center, radius, circumference, and diameter, and circumference and area can be calculated.

Graphs and Charts

  • Linear graphs have a straight line, non-linear graphs have a curved line, and quadratic graphs have a parabola shape.
  • Graphs can be plotted by using points on the x-axis and y-axis, and graphs can be interpreted to identify trends, maxima, and minima.

Statistics and Probability

  • Descriptive statistics include calculating the mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range.
  • Probability involves understanding events, experiments, and the probability scale, and probability can be calculated theoretically or experimentally.

Test your understanding of various mathematical operations including fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, and proportions. Learn how to simplify, add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions, as well as convert between decimals and percentages.
