- The unitary methodLesson
Find the value of one thing first, then scale it to any number — and tell direct proportion from inverse.
- Profit and lossLesson
Work out profit, loss and discount, and give a profit or loss as a percentage of the cost price.
- Simple interestLesson
Work out simple interest and the total amount, and find the rate or the time when the interest is known.
Algebra
Number
- Exponents and powersLesson
Work out powers and use the laws of exponents to simplify them.
- Multiplying and dividing integersLesson
Multiply and divide positive and negative whole numbers, and get the sign right every time.
- Multiplying and dividing fractions and decimalsLesson
Multiply and divide fractions and decimals, and know when the answer will be smaller than what you started with.
- Rational numbersLesson
Place, compare, add and subtract numbers that can be written as one whole number over another.
- Powers and exponentsLesson
Read and write a power, work out its value, and use the laws for multiplying and dividing powers of the same base.
Geometry and measures
- Properties of trianglesLesson
Use the angle sum, the exterior angle rule and Pythagoras' theorem in a triangle.
- CongruenceLesson
Say when two figures are congruent, read a congruence statement in the right order, and use it to find matching sides and angles.
- SymmetryLesson
Count lines of symmetry, find the order of rotational symmetry, and work out the smallest turn that leaves a shape looking the same.
- Visualising solid shapesLesson
Count the faces, edges and vertices of a solid, tell flat surfaces from curved ones, and say what a solid looks like from another direction.
- Area of triangles and parallelogramsLesson
Find the area of a parallelogram, a triangle and a rhombus, and the perimeter of a straight-sided shape.
