0 of 10 concepts ready to learn · Markdown, for your AI

1. Arithmetic · Understanding real numbers

1. Percentages as Fractions: Define percentage as 'number of parts per hundred'; interpret percentages and percentage changes as a fraction or a decimal; express one quantity as a percentage of another; compare quantities using percentages; work with percentages greater than 100%
2. Square and cube numbers: Use integer powers and associated real roots (square, cube, and higher); recognise powers of 2, 3, 4, and 5; distinguish between exact representations of roots and their decimal approximations
3. Number Sets & Infinity: Appreciate the infinite nature of the sets of integers, real numbers, and rational numbers; position integers on a number line and distinguish between rational and irrational numbers
4. Estimating by rounding: Use approximation through rounding to estimate answers and calculate possible resulting errors expressed using inequality notation a < x ≤ b; understand upper and lower bounds of rounded values
5. Numbers on a number line: Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from zero on the number line; interpret absolute value as magnitude in real-world contexts; distinguish absolute value comparisons from ordering statements

2. Algebra · Equations

1. Solving Linear Equations: Use algebraic methods to solve linear equations in one variable, including equations that require rearrangement, expanding brackets, and collecting terms on both sides; solve equations with rational number coefficients

3. Statistics · One-variable distributions

1. Comparing measurements: Describe, interpret, and compare distributions of a single variable using appropriate measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and spread (range), including the effect of outliers

4. Statistics · Two-variable distributions

1. Scatter Graphs & Correlation: Describe simple mathematical relationships between two variables using scatter graphs, identify positive, negative, or no correlation, and use a line of best fit to make predictions

5. Geometry · Locating

1. Coordinate Transformations: Identify properties of translations, rotations, and reflections; describe and perform these transformations on given figures, and understand that the image is congruent to the original

6. Geometry · Straight lines and half-planes

1. Proportion Graphs: Represent proportional relationships using double number lines (two parallel number lines aligned at 0) and ratio tables; recognise that equivalent ratios generate straight lines through the origin when graphed
