MEAN FROM A TABLE
•Multiply frequency
by the value
•Divide this total by
total frequency
Total
Mean
How many
ESTIMATE OF THE MEAN
•2 extra columns
•Use mid point of groups
•Mid point x frequency
•Big total divided by
little total
Basic Averages
• Modal class is the mode
group
• Median is the middle one
• Mean is total divided how
many?

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

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
•Negative powers – work out +
power and turn upside down

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
PERCENTAGES
•1% - divide by 100
•10% - divide by 10
• % change is change / original x 100%
Percentage Increase by Multiplier
100% + 1.85% = 101.85%
= Multiplier 1.0185

Income tax
• Taxable pay =
salary – allowance
• Put as much as you
can into each “piggy
bank” tax rate
Example
Income is £50000
Taxable Income =
£40000
Split this into 2
parts

CALCULATOR WORK + ESTIMATION
• Work
out the top
•Work out the bottom
•Top divided by the bottom
Estimate means
round the numbers
first

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

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
PROPORTION
• Bring in k
• Y = k x2
• Work out k
• If inverse proportion,
• Y=k
x2
