1. Sequences, Patterns & Finding the nth term


e.g. 2 , 5, 8, 11  3n -1
Pattern number 1 2 3 4 5
Number of pieces 3 5 7
To find out the next numbers you add 2 each time. To
find the nth term you use the rule 2n + 1 (to work out the
15th pattern you would substitute n for 15  31.
Can you work out the number of pieces in pattern
number 18?
2. Rules
3  9 there could be lots of rules to this. For example;
x3 or x4 -3 or x2 +3 or +6

3. Ratio
If you have 8 Oranges and 12 Apples the ratio of Oranges
to Apples = 8:12 . This can be simplified by dividing by
common factors (in this case ÷ 4 = 2:3)

If you had £27 shared between Ant & Dec in the ratio
1:8, how much will each get?
1st step- work out how many parts there are: 8+1 = 9
This means 9 parts = £27
2nd step- work out how much 1 part is worth: 27 ÷ 9 = 3.
3rd step- work out the value of ratios: 1 x 3 and 8 x 3.
Answer Ant has £3 and Dec has £24
Revision Guide

4. Proportion
For every 6 squares, 3 are shaded in. This can be written
as a fraction: 3/6 = ½
Making pancakes with Flour and Milk.
500g of pancakes is made from 400ml of milk and 50g of
flour.
How could you make 2000g (2Kg) of pancakes?
2000g is 4x as much as 500g so you just need 4x as
much milk (400ml x 4 = ????).
How much flour would you need to make 750g of
Pancakes?
You need to know how to go from 500g to 750g
(x1.5) or (÷2 and x 3). Then apply the same to
how much flour you had for 500g of pancake  50g
x 1.5 = 75g. Or simply if 500  750 then 5075.
If cost of 9 packets of crisps cost £2.70 what do 4
packets of crisps cost?
You must work out how much 1 packet costs then
multiply that by 4. (£2.70 ÷9) x 4 = 30p x 4 = ???

5. Percentage of Amounts
Use % mind maps.
If you have £2000 you know 10% = £200
If 10% = £200 you know 5% = £100
If 10% = £200 and 5% = £100 you know 15% =£300
(percentage means “out of 100”)

19 / 25 as a percentage (just multiply by 4 – (4x25=100))


19 x 4 = 76%
Revision Guide

6. Equivalent Fractions, Decimals and Percentages


Remember: 0.1 = 1/10 = 10%
0.01 = 1/100 = 1%
0.25 = 1/4 = 25%

7. Angles

SAS - ABC is a triangle.


AB = 8 cm.  This is a side
AC = 1 cm.  This is a side
Angle A = 49°.  This is the Angle

You will be asked to construct that triangle –

Hint: Draw AB first. Then mark out 43° from A.

8. Remember the rules:


Angles inside a Triangle add to 180º
Angles inside a Square add to 360 º
Angles inside a Circle add to 360 º
Angles on a Straight Line add to 180 º

9. Straight Line Graphs


x 3 2 1 0 1 2 3
y 1 0 1 2 5

y=x+2
Revision Guide

10. Number Sequences,


e.g. 5,7,9
Pattern number 1 2 3 4 5
Number of pieces 5 7 9

Can you work out the number of pieces in the 1st and 5th
pattern?

The rule to this pattern is multiply the pattern number


by 2 and add 1.
Can you work out the number of pieces in pattern
number 18 or 20 or 25?
11. Calculation

Addition, Subtraction - Column Method


Revision Guide

Short Division - Bus Shelter

Multiplication - Grid Method

NTT…
a) 28 x 15
b) 172 +19
c) 253 – 63
d) 196 ÷ 5
Revision Guide

12. Decimals
Adding Decimals

Ordering Decimals
Which is bigger: 1.3 or 1.27
1.3 is the same as 1.30
If we write it out like this it is easier to see what is
bigger 1.30 or 1.27

1.30 is bigger!

Multiplying Decimals
Start by ignoring the decimal – use grid method then just put
decimal place in answer ensuring there are the right number of
places.
Revision Guide

13. Perimeter and Area

Perimeter = total length of all the sides (4+9+4+9= 26cm)


Area of rectangle= The height times width (4 x 9 = 36cm2)

Area of Triangle = ½ x Height x Base


Area of Circle = πr2 (π = 3.14, r= Radius)

Circumference of circle = πD (2 x 3.14 x 5 = 31.4cm)


Cherry Pies(π) are Delicious and Apples r 2
14. Units of Measure
1 m = 100 cm
1 cm = 10 mm
1 mile = 1.6 Kilometers (KM) -
So how many KMs is 10 miles or 5 miles?
Revision Guide

15. Pythagoras
a2 + b2 = c2

16. Fractions of Amounts


½ of £40 = £20 : (40 ÷ 2) x 1
¾ of £40 = £30 : (40 ÷ 4) x 3 = 10 x 3

NTT: What is 3/7 of 56?

½ of 40 = ¼ of 80
¾ of 40 = ½ of 60

17. Converting between Fractions, Decimals &


Percentages
Fraction  %
X 100
e.g. 0.45 x100 = 45%

%  Fraction
÷ 100
Revision Guide

e.g. 79% ÷ 100 = 0.79

NTT: What is 563 ÷ 10?

18. Fractions
Ordering Fractions and adding fractions!
Tip - Make the denominators the same!
1/3 4/6 2/12
X4 X2 X1

4/12 8/12 2/12

Therefore smallest  largest: 2/12  1/3  4/6


NTT a) Can you add them all together?
1/3 + 4/6 + 2/12 = (answer is at end of booklet)

1/3 = 5/[ ] (Numerators have x5 (15) therefore do


the same to the denominator (3[15])

NTT b) Can you find the missing number?


4/6 = 8/[ ]
Revision Guide

19. Averages
3,4 ,4,4,5,7,8

Mean = total divided by total amount of numbers = 35/7= 5


Median = the middle number once in order =4
Mode = the most common number =4
Range = largest number minus smallest number = 8 -5 = 3

If 2 numbers in the middle then find the mean of those.


E.g. 3,5,6,8,9,10 - 6 & 8 are the middle numbers
Median = (6/8)*2 = 7

NTT: What is the median of 3,14,16,19,21,23?

20. Probability
Probability can be measured as a decimal, percentage or
fraction.

The best way to measure the probability of something happening


is as a fraction. If there are 5 sweets in a bag, 2 are lemon and 3
are 2 are cherry the probability of picking a lemon is 3/5.
The possible outcomes are:
lemon, lemon, lemon, cherry, cherry (5)
So the probability of picking cherry would be 2/5
Revision Guide

NTT:
a) There are 7 balls in a bag, 2 are red, 1 is green and the
rest are blue. What is the probability of picking a blue?

To work out the probability of 2 things happening you have to


multiply the probability of each event happening together.
2 bags. 1st has 7 balls 4 of which are blue. Second bag has 5 balls,
2 of which are blue. What is the probability of picking a Blue
AND then another blue: 4/7 x 2/5 = 8/35

NTT:
b) What’s the probability of NOT picking a blue then NOT
picking another BLUE?

21. Algebra
Letters are used in maths – we call them variables – they are
unknown numbers.

a + a = 2a a

2a + a = 3a a a
3a – a = 2a
3a + 2b + a = 4a +2b a a

If p = perimeter p = a + a + a + a + a +a = 6a

If you were told p = 2a + 3


What would p = if a= 3
p = (2x3) + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9

NTT : p = 2a + 3
what is P when a = 7?
Revision Guide

22. Powers / Indices


If we say 7 to the power 2 we mean 72 = 7 x7
7 to the power 3 = 73 = 7 x 7 x 7

5 x 5 x 5 = 53
5 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 54
Multiplying powers:
52 x 52 = 54
(5 x 5 ) x (5 x 5) = 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 54

NTT: a) 57 x 59 =
b) 65 ÷ 63 =

Answers
16. 24 (56 ÷ 7) x 3 = 8 x 3
17. 56.3
20. a) 14/12  12/12
b) 8/12
19. 17.5
