Crucial Knowledge – Stage 1 - Number BIDMAS The order you do calculations in: B rackets I ndices D ivision M ultiplication A ddition 4 Operators Negative Numbers S ubtraction • Addition (or Sum) + • Adding or subtracting – USE A • Subtraction (or Difference) – NUMBER LINE • Multiplication (or Product) x • Multiplying or dividing use the rules • Division ÷ + x + = + + ÷ + = + + x - = - + ÷ - = - Fractions Decimals and Percentages - x + = - - ÷ + = - • Different ways of saying part of a whole number - x - = + - ÷ - = + • You can change from one to the other Prime Numbers Rounding • Have exactly two factors • Decimal places (column after decimal point) • No other whole numbers, except 1 and itself divide into them • Significant Figures (highest value column) Crucial Knowledge – Stage 1 - Number Highest Common Factor (HCF) Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) Standard Form • Write down all the factors from • A way of writing very BIG or very SMALL numbers the numbers and find the biggest • Think BIG numbers – distance between planets and SMALL numbers value on both lists – This is the – sizes of atoms. Highest Common Factor • BIG numbers have POSITIVE powers and SMALL number have NEGATIVE powers. • Write down all the multiples of Always a multiply Always the number 10 Always a number Positive for very large numbers the two numbers and find the between 1 and 10 smallest on both lists – This is the 4 x 106 Negative for very small numbers Lowest Common Multiple Percentages Fractions • An amount out of 100 • Multiplying – Multiply top by top and • To Calculate a percentage of an amount (What is 40% of £50) bottom by bottom. Percentage ÷ 100 x amount (40 ÷ 100 x 50 = £20) • Dividing - ‘Keep Change Flip’. • To change to a percentage (you score 4 out of 5 in a test, what • Addition or Subtraction – You need same percentage is this?) bottom number (denominator). Amount you got ÷ what it is out of x 100 (4 ÷ 5 x 100 = 80%) Crucial Knowledge – Stage 2 - Number Percentage Change Inequalities • If a value goes up, it’s a percentage increase. • Understand inequality symbols < > ≤ ≥ • If a value goes down, it’s a percentage decrease. • List values that satisfy a inequality. • We work out percentage of amount and either add it on • Show by drawing on a number line values that or subtract it from our starting value satisfy inequality. • Or we work out the percentage change by working out the difference in values and dividing by our original value Estimation and then multiplying by 100. • An answer close to the exact answer. • All values are rounded to 1 significant figure. Powers • Follow BIDMAS to get your estimation. • If we multiply powers we add. y3 x y4 = y(3 + 4) = y7 • If we divide powers we subtract. y10 ÷ y6 = y(10 - 6) = y4 Use of Calculator • Anything to the power zero is always 1 • Must be able to use brackets ( ) on calculator to get an answer to multi stage calculations.
