How to find 15% of an amount
Example: If the number selected is 43: Multiply by 3: 3 × 43 = 129. Divide by 2: 129/2 = 64.5. Move the decimal point one place to the left: 6.45. So 15% of 43 = 6.45.

comparing fractions
Find what both the denominators can go into then change it: 2/3 or 3/5 change the denominator to 15. Then times the numerator with what it needs to get to 15: 3/5 = 9/ 15 and you do the same to the other fraction

Simplify expressions and factorise
To work it out: Write down the expression Equation: x + 5 + 3x - 7 + 9x + 3 - 4x Collect all the terms together which are alike. Remember that each term comes with an operation (+, -) which goes before it. Equation: x + 3x + 9x - 4x + 5 - 7 + 3 Simpl

Substitute numbers into an expression
For example , what is the value of 4p3 when p = 2? We know that 4p3 means 4 × p × p × p, so when p = 2 we substitute this into the expression: 4 × 2 × 2 × 2 (or 4 × 23) = 32

Tessellate a shape
A Tessellation (or Tiling) is when we cover a surface with a pattern of flat shapes so that there are no overlaps or gaps. A regular tessellation is a pattern made by repeating a regular polygon. A semi-regular tessellation is made of two or more reg

Congruent shape
Two polygons are congruent if they are the same size and shape - that is, if their corresponding angles and sides are equal. Move your mouse cursor over the parts of each figure on the left to see the corresponding parts of the congruent figure on th

Describe a correlation of a scatter graph
With scatter plots we often talk about how the variables relate to each other. This is called correlation. There are three types of correlation: positive, negative, and none (no correlation). Positive Correlation: as one variable increases so does th

Interpret a pie chart
The angle of this section is 36 degrees. The question says there are 30 pupils in the class. So the number of pupils of height 121 - 130 cm is: 36/360 x 30 = 3

Use a probability scale
The probability scale. Maths uses numbers to describe probabilities. Probabilities can be written as fractions, decimals or percentages. You can also use a probability scale, starting at 0 (impossible) and ending at 1 (certain).
