Addition and subtraction of 3 and 4 digit numbers
Eg 3543 + 5642, 7845 – 3452
Remember to put the numbers into columns
according to value, eg hundreds tens units.
Multiplication of 3 digit numbers by 1 digit number
Eg. 463 x 7
Use the box method to help you remember to
multiply each part individually.
Division of 3 digit numbers by 1 digit number with
and without remainders
Eg. 579 ÷ 6
Remember to read the question to find out if the
answer should be a remainder or a decimal answer.
Then use long division.
Understanding fractions as part of a whole
Eg. 3 parts of an 8 slice cake = ⅜
Remember that the answer will be a fraction and
that the denominator(bottom number) will be the
number of slices of cake
Cancelling down of basic fractions
Eg. 9/12 = ¾ and 5/10 = ?/2
Try and find a common number that we can divide
the numerator(top number) and the denominator
by
Changing improper fractions to mixed numbers and
mixed numbers to improper fractions
Improper fractions have a numerator that is larger
than the denominator: eg 5 = 1 1
4
4
Recognising simple equivalent fractions
Eg. ½ = 2/4 = 4/8 = 6/12
Equivalent means the same. The numbers may not
be the same but they can cancel down to give the
same answer
Order of calculations(Bidmas)
Brackets( solve any brackets first)
Indices(powers, eg 22, 43 etc)
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction
Remember to apply BIDMAS to all calculations. It
is just telling you which order to solve the problem
with. Start at the top and work down
Understanding of place value to multiply and divide
whole numbers by 10 or 100
Eg. 76 x 100, 560 ÷ 10
Add and subtract decimals to 2 decimal places
Eg. 3.06 + 12.1, 13.5 – 1.45
Use column addition to help you with which
numbers to add together
Round numbers to the nearest 100, 10, 1 and 1
decimal place.
Remember that 5 and above rounds up.
eg 75.47 rounded to the nearest 10 = 80
to the nearest 1 = 75, to 1 decimal place = 75.5
Being able to fill in the missing gaps in equations
Eg. 5 x ? = 45, ? + 4 = 7
Collecting like terms
Eg. a + a = 2a, a + b + a + b = 2a + 2b
Like terms are terms that are similar. This means
they have the same letter, or no letters.
Solving simple equations
Eg. a + 3 = 7, a = 4
Multiplying out brackets
Eg. 2(x + 4) = 2x + 8
Remember to multiply everything inside the
bracket by the number outside
Substituting numbers into simple equations.
Eg if a = 2 and b = 4 what is the value of 2a + b?
2a + b = 2 x 2 + 4 = 8
Adding and subtracting negative numbers
Eg 3 – (-2) = 5, 2 + (-1) = 1
Using a protractor to measure and draw angles
accurately.
Remember to line the cross in the middle of the
protractor up with the corner of the angle
Bearings
Remember the order: NESW
North = 0o or 360o
East = 90o
South = 180o
West = 270o
Reflecting a shape in a mirror line.
Remember that the reflected shape is the
opposite of the original
Rotating a shape about a set point.
Use tracing paper
Translating a shape
Use the numbers and directions given to move the
object
