SCHOOL MATHS BASICS

Here are some basic concepts that every child studying would be expected to know.

NUMBERS pi RADIUS
SQUARED NUMBER:
A number multiplied by itself.
e.g. 3x3 = 9 - You would write squared as 3² Components
of a circle DIAMETER
CUBED NUMBER:
A number multiplied by itself three times. CIRCUMFERENCE
e.g. 3x3x3 = 27 - You would write 3 cubed as 3³ is a mathematical constant that is the
ratio of a circle's circumference to its
PRIME NUMBER: diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159.
A number divisible by itself and 1 The number πappears in many formulae
e.g. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 across mathematics and physics.

MODAL: AVERAGES MEAN:

Most common number among a set. The average number in a data set.
For instance, among this set: 3, 9, 8, 9, 14, 9, 4, 9. To calculate, you add up all numbers and
divide by how many numbers there are.
9 is the modal number.
Here is an example:
MEDIAN: Your data set comprises of 5 numbers: 5, 10 ,15, 20, 25.
The middle of a set of numbers. -If you add them together, you get 75.
Between 0 and 20, 10 would be the median. -Divide this by 5 and you get the mean average: 15.

CALCULATING CALCULATING
AREA VOLUME
AREA OF A SQUARE
OR RECTANGLE:
Multiply one side by PYRAMID:
AREA OF A CIRCLE: another. Length x width x height
r² (r = radius of the circle) PRISM:
divided by 3.
Half base x height x length.
AREA OF A TRIANGLE: CUBE:
Half length of base x Multiplying the value of the
height. edge with itself three times.

ORDERING
BODMAS is an acronym and a way of remembering the rules
for attempting a calculation. It stands for:

MATHEMATICAL Brackets Order Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction

OPERATIONS
You should start with any numbers in brackets, ORDERS DIVISION MULTIPLI- SUB-
BRACKETS ADDITION
CATION TRACTION
then square numbers (if there are any), then
division, multiplication and so on. (..) x²

GEOMETRY CONVERTING FRACTIONS

DECIMALS + PERCENTAGES
Any angles on a straight line will
always add up to 180˚ DIVIDE TOP
FRACTIONS BY BOTTOM DECIMALS

The angles of a triangle will B

C PUT OVER 100
always add up to 180˚.
A PERCENTAGES
Here’s an example: MULTIPLY
Angles on a square or cuboid BY 100
1)Let’s take the fraction of ¼.
shape will always add up to 360˚ 2)Divide 1 by 4 and you get the decimal, 0.25
3)Multiply 0.25 by 100 and you get 25%
