STEM AND LEAF DIAGRAMS

• Don’t forget to order

• Include a key

STANDARD FORM

It’s a number between 1 and 10 times by a power of 10.e.g. 450 is 4.5 x 102

Use the exp button on the calculator

POWERS

• When multiplying times the numbers and add the powers

• When dividing divide the numbers and take away the powers

• Power of 0 is 1• Fraction powers: ½ is

square root, 1/3 is cube root

FRACTIONS OF

• Fraction of – divide by the bottom, times by the top.

COORDINATES

• For 3d coordinates follow the axes as x,y,z

• To find midpoints add the x’s then halve. Do the same for the y’s and z’s.

ANGLES

• Parallel lines- look for FUZ:

CorrespondingInteriorAlternate• Bearings measure

clockwise from North

LCM and HCF

• LCM is a multiple, so is bigger than the start numbers

• HCF is a factor, so is smaller than the start numbers

AREA

• Rectangle is length x width

• Triangle is height x base / 2

• Trapezium is (add parallel sides) x height /2

• Compound shapes – split into easier shapes then add together

• Circle is pi x radius squared

VOLUME

• Prisms – Area of front x length

EXPANDING BRACKETS

• Two brackets together – eyebrows and smiley face are 4 multiplies

FACTORISING BRACKETS

• Pick the x’s to times together

• Pick the numbers to times to the question

• Check the smiley face to see if the x term is right

STRAIGHT LINES

• Form is y=mx+c• To plot the line, take 3 x values and find out the y values that go with them

CIRCLE ANGLES

The angle between a tangent and a radius is 90o

SCATTER DIAGRAMS

• Plot the points• Line of best fit• Positive and

negative correlation

SIMPLE PROBABILITY

• Probabilities add to 1

• Multiply the probability by the number of times

MEAN FROM A TABLE

• Multiply frequency by the value

• Divide this total by total frequency

QUESTIONNAIRES

• Look for a time limit in the question

• Overlap between the choices

• Any missing choices?

BOX PLOTS

• Plot 5 measures to draw it

• To compare, 1 comment on the median, 1 comment on the interquartile range (the width of the box)

CUMULATIVE FREQUENCY

• Running total• Plot end points against

cumulative frequency• Measure median and

quartiles

ESTIMATE OF THE MEAN

• 2 extra columns• Use mid point of

groups• Mid point x

frequency• Big total divided by

little total

HISTOGRAMS

• Frequency density is freq divided by class width

• The area of a bar is the frequency

PERCENTAGES

• 1% - divide by 100• 10% - divide by 10• % change is change / original x

100%

STRAIGHT LINES

• Look at the gradient – positive or neg

• Gradient is up divided by the across

• Line is y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c the intercept

CALCULATOR WORK

• Work out the top• Work out the bottom• Top divided by the bottom

RATIO

• RATIO 2:3 MEANS 2+3 = 5 PARTS

• FIND THE VALUE OF 1 PART

PYTHAGORAS

• TAKE THE 2 NUMBERS• SQUARE• SQUARE• ADD OR SUBTRACT• SQUARE ROOT

TREE DIAGRAMS

• Each V adds to 1

• Multiply alon g the branches

POLYGON ANGLES

Interior angle is180 – exterior angle

INEQUALITIES

3 included, filled circle-2 not

included, empty circle

• Integer means whole number

• Solve like an equation

ENLARGEMENT

Scale factor x3

Count across and up from the centre

Times this by 3 from the centre

Negative enlargement goes the opposite way

Works for algebra fractions too

FORM AND SOLVE EQUATION

• This one is about angles, so add algebra together and put equal to 360.

• If perimeter, do the same but put = perimeter.

• Solve by simplifying and solving

VECTORS

• Go from A to B• Only use a and b• -a+b or b-a

PLOTTING GRAPHS

• Complete table of values

• Plot points on grid• Join points together

to make a graph

PROPORTION

• Get 1 by dividing• In this case 1cm = 17.8 /

160• Multiply by his new number

eg 210 x
