Real numbers
Use Euclid's division lemma and prime factorisation to find HCF and LCM, and tell a rational number from an irrational one.
Before you start
Move along this line between 1 and 2, a tenth at a time. Every tick you land on is a fraction — a whole number over a whole number.
√2 is about 1.414, so it hides between two of these ticks. Make the steps ten times finer and it hides between two of those instead. It never lands on one, and that is exactly what irrational means.
1.Euclid's division lemma says that for whole numbers a and b there are whole numbers q and r with a = bq + r, where r is smaller than b. Divide 455 by 42. What is the remainder?
2.Which of these numbers is irrational?
- a) √2
- b) 7/2
- c) 0.25
- d) √4
3.A number is written as 2³ × 3² × 5. What is the number?
4.Find the HCF of 6, 72 and 120.
5.Sort each number by whether it is rational or irrational.

6.Find the LCM of 12 and 18.
7.Find the HCF of 616 and 32 using Euclid's algorithm.
8.For any two numbers, HCF × LCM equals the product of the numbers. The HCF of two numbers is 9 and their LCM is 360. One of the numbers is 45. What is the other?

Arithmetic progressions
Find the common difference, the nth term and the sum of an arithmetic progression.
Before you start
This line is the progression 5, 10, 15, 20 and onwards. Move from one term to the next and count the steps you have taken.
The first term takes no steps at all, so the 8th term is 5 with seven steps of 5 added on: 5 + 7 × 5 = 40. That is a + (n - 1)d, read straight off the line.
1.Find the sum of the first 10 terms of 2, 4, 6, 8, ...
2.In the AP 3, 7, 11, 15, ... what is the common difference?

Pair of linear equations
Solve a pair of linear equations in two variables by substitution and elimination, and say how many solutions a pair has.
Before you start
One scale, and every box on it hides the same weight. Move things about and find out what a single scale can and cannot tell you.
A scale can pin down one unknown, never two at once — which is exactly why a pair of equations is needed. Elimination is the step that turns the pair into a single scale like this one.
1.Two adult tickets and one child ticket cost 900 £. One adult ticket and one child ticket cost 500 £. What does one child ticket cost? Give just the number.
2.Solve the pair 3x + 2y = 12 and x = 2. What is y?
