NUMBER
SEQUENCES
Question
I think of a number. I then
double it. I add 4. The answer is
22.
What number did I start with?

How to work it out

To work out this type of question,
you need to work backwards.
(Remember, when you work
backwards you have to do the
opposite to what it tells you in the
question).
So 22 4 (because it says add,
you need to minus) = 18
It then says double it, which
means you need to half it = 18
2

Question
I think of a number. I multiply it
by 5. I add 3. I subtract 8. The
answer is 95.
What number did I start with?

How to work it out

To work out this type of question,
you need to work backwards.
(Remember, when you work
backwards you have to do the
opposite to what it tells you in the
question).
So 95 + 8 = 103
103 3 = 100

20

100 5

MENTAL
ARITHMETIC
Question
What is of 180?

How to work it out

Divide the whole number by the
bottom part of the fraction and
multiply it by the top number.
So 180 4 = 45
45 x 3

13

How to work it out

Divide the top number by the
bottom number and multiply by
100.

Question
What is 5/8 as a percentage?

So 5 8 = 0.625

62.5
%

Question
What is 0.8 as a percentage?

0.625 x 100

How to work it out

Multiply by 100.
So 0.8 x 100

80%

AREA AND
PERIMETER
Question

Question
What is the area of this
equilateral square?

What is the perimeter of this

equilateral square?

How to work it out

Area = Base x height

How to work it out

Perimeter = add all the sides together

So 8 x 8

So 8 + 8 + 8 + 8

64

32

Question
What is the area of this shape?

How to work it out

Work out the square
5 x 5 = 25
Work out the triangle
9 x 5 = 45 2 = 22.5
So 22.5 + 25

47.5

GRAPHS AND
CHARTS

Question
What is the
average of
History grades
C or above
from 2004 to
2009? To the
nearest whole
number.

How to work it out

Add up all columns,
and divide it by how
many there are
56 + 64 + 72 + 78 +
84 + 58 = 412
412 6 = 68.6666
To the nearest whole
number

69

ANGLES
Question
What is the missing
angle?
How to work it out
Triangles have 180

Question
A triangle has angles in the
ratio of 2 : 3 : 4. What is
the size of the smallest of
the to
three
How
work itangles?
out

So, 36 + 78 = 114

180 9 = 20

180 114

So, 2 x 20 = 40
3 x 20 = 60
4 x 20 = 80

66

40
