- Number and number operations Numbers are grouped into sets. Knowing which set a number belongs to helps you choose the right method.
- Fractions, decimals and percentages Fractions, decimals and percentages are three ways of writing the same amount: 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%.
- Approximation and standard form In real measurements we round numbers. Exam questions ask for a given number of decimal places or significant figures.
- Ratio, rate and proportion A ratio compares two or more quantities of the same kind. Simplify a ratio by dividing all parts by their HCF: 12 : 18 = 2 : 3.
- Sets and Venn diagrams A set is a well-defined collection of objects called elements.
- Algebraic expressions, formulae and indices Algebra uses letters to stand for numbers so that we can write general rules.
- Measures and mensuration Mensuration is the measurement of lengths, areas and volumes.
- Geometry: angles, polygons, similarity and circles Use a ruler and compasses only: bisect lines and angles, and construct 60°, 90°, 45° and 30° angles. Leave construction arcs visible.
