itself 3 times
Standard form/ Standard form index- A way of writing a very
small or a very large number
Powers
The power tells you how many ‘lots’ of a number to multiply together ; Example
What happens when you multiply numbers that are written as powers of the same number or variable (letter)? Cubes to 5 12= 1 23= 8 33= 27 42= 64 52= 125 102= 1000
Square Roots
The square root of a given number is a number that, when multiplied by itself, produces the given number.
The square root of 9 is 3, since 3 × 3 = 9.
Numbers also have a negative square root, since –3 × –3 also equals 9. A square root is represented by the symbol √ . For example, 16−−√=4.16=4.
Remember: A square root is treated like a power or index, according to BIDMAS

Key words
Expressions-A combination of letters and
numbers

separated by an equals sign with one or more variables.
Inverse-Opposite
Identity-Expressions either side of an =
sign with one or more variables which are true to for all values.
Formula-A rule, using numbers and letters
which shows relationship between variables.

identical but the coefficients maybe different.
Expand Multiply out (terms with brackets) Factorise- The inverse of expanding
brackets
Expression, Equation & Identity
Sometimes the identity will not have a triple equals sign, you may need to spot that both sides will give the same answer for any variable. E.G. y2 = y x y is an identity. A formula is another type you will learn in later units.
Simply expressions/collection
like terms
We can collect together terms that have the same letter in them. We can add up normal numbers as we normally would.
For example; 3x + 4x = 7x 9 + 4 + x = 13 + x 8 + 1 + x + 2x = 9 + 3x
You can use circles and squares around the terms to easily identify the like terms and collect them up more easily.
Expanding brackets
Factorising
This is the opposite of expanding out brackets, to put them back in.By extracting a highest common factor we can factorise an expression, say 9y + 81.
The biggest number to fit into 9and 81exactly (highest common factor) is 9. This goes on the outside of the bracket.
9 (y + __) To get to 81, it is 9 x 9so: 9y + 81 = 9 (y + 9)
Y9 Foundation – Unit 4 Angles
Use letter notation to describe a point, line & angles Know names, estimate, measure & draw angles Angles on a line/ at a point/ vertically opposite Angle sum of a triangle, using to Calculate missing angles in triangles including exterior.
Identify & name triangles – equilateral, isosceles, right-angled

Explain why some polygons tessellate and others do not
Recognise and name pentagons, hexagons,
heptagons, octagons and decagons Irregular polygons with 3,4,5,6,8 sides only
Angles in parallel lines
Next Steps
Include algebra in angle problems.Work with compound shapes and polygons such as parallelograms or rhombi.
Key Words
Polygon – A 2D shape with any number of
straight sides (they have to be straight, so there isn't a 1 or 2 sided polygon).
Angle – The rotational distance between
two straight lines, i.e. how much of a turn is required.
Sum of angles – Total of all the angles. Sum
can be denoted by the Greek Σ (sigma)
Interior angles – The angles inside a shape
at each vertex (corner).
Exterior angles – If the side was extended
outside the shape the exterior angle is the angle between the extended side and the adjacent side (the side next to it).
Quadrilateral – Special name for 4 sided
polygon (shape)
Tessellate – Fit together with no gaps. NOTE: Only those shapes whose interior
angle (at one vertex/corner) divides exactly into 360 with no remainder will tessellate perfectly. Any other shape will not give a full perfect tessellation on its own.
Angle Facts
The special angle facts are shown here. For the total degrees in a polygon: (n-2) x 180
Where n is the number of sides the polygon has. External = 360/n
E.G. Hexagon – INT = 4x180=720 EXT = 360/6=60 Because an n sided polygon can be split into n-2 triangles. Acute: less than 90° Right: 90
Obtuse: over 90, less than 180 Reflex: over 180, less than 360
Using Properties of Shape
Use the sum of angles to find a missing angle. In the triangle below:
The angle at V or ∠UVW = 51° ∠VUW = 90°
∠UWV = ? °
Sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°. 180 – 51 – 90 = 39 so ∠UWV = 39° We can name the sides
Edges by the start And end letters E.G. VU, UW and VW
Angles in Parallel Lines
Some of these are incorrectly known by the shape they look like, so, in order: Z angles --- (no name) F angles C angles --- (no name) Use these only to remember, do not describe them as ‘letter’ angles, you will get no marks!
Regular Polygons
Regular means that all the lengths and angles are of the same size.
Irregular is a shape that isn't regular, so the angles and sides not all the same size

Averages and range
Mode and MedianMean and Range All averages from a list Compare distributions
Draw & read stem & leaf diagram Averages from ungrouped table
Next Steps
Calculating averages from a grouped frequency table.
Mean Mode median and Range
Key words
Mean – Add all values and divide by the number of values
Median – The middle value when the numbers are put into order first. Mode- Most occurring value
Range – Largest value minus the smallest value.
Comparing Averages
Stem and Leaf diagrams
The tens are called the stem and the units are the leaf. It’s a way to represent data to find the Mode, Median and Range or large amounts of data much quicker.Averages from ungrouped table.
Mean = 40 divided by 16 = 2.5
Mode = 1 as 1 is the most popular number of handbags
Median = 16 divided by 2 is 8 so when you total up the frequency column the 8thvalue lies in the second row so 2 would be the median.
Year 9 Foundation – Unit 6
Decimals
Decimals place value - ordering, read scales Add & subtract decimals including bills & change and negatives
Multiply & divide decimals by 10, 100, 1000 Round to decimal places (including money from a calculator) - use ≈
Decimals into fractions & simple vice versa including simple recurring decimals
Multiply/divide decimals by whole numbers Rounding to significant figures - use ≈
Next Steps
Use knowledge of rounding to specify error bounds on measurements using inequality signs (<, >, ≤, ≥).
Place value
The followinglist of numbers has been put in order, from
smallest to biggest:
0.06, 0.6, 0.606, 0.66, 6, 6.06, 6.6.
The reading on this scale is 4.6 kg.
Key words
Recurring decimal – a continually repeating pattern of numbers after the decimal point Decimal Place (d.p.) – any digit after the decimal point
Significant Figure (s.f.) – any digit that is not a leading zero (a leading zero is a 0 which comes before any other digit)
≈
– approximately equal toAdding and subtracting
Multiplying/dividing by 10, 100,
1000
To multiply by 10, 100, or 1000, move the decimal point 1, 2, or 3 spaces to the right.
To divide by 10, 100 or 1000, move the decimal point to the left.
For example, 7459.26 ÷ 100 = 74.5926
Multiplying/dividing by whole
numbers
Do the multiplication as normal and put the decimal point in at the end.
Do the division as normal, but don’t forget the decimal point!
Rounding decimals
If the next decimal place after the one you want is 5 or more, round up. π = 3.1415926….
We can round π in a number of ways. π ≈ 3.1 (1 d.p.) π ≈ 3.14 (2 d.p.) π ≈ 3.142 (3 d.p.) π ≈ 3 (1 s.f.) π ≈ 3.1 (2 s.f.) π ≈ 3.14 (3 s.f.) 0.004275 ≈ 0.0043 (2 s.f.) This is because leading zeros are not significant figures.
Converting decimals to fractions
Write down the decimal divided by 1Multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 until they are both whole numbers Simplify the fraction
Example: Convert 0.75 to a fraction.
Converting fractions to decimals
To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number), adding zeros after the decimal point.Y9 Foundation – Unit 7
2D Shapes
Calculate the perimeters and areas of rectilinear shapes
Find Area of triangle & parallelogram & trapezium
Convert units of area
Describe and identify the parts of a circle including: centre, radius, diameter, chord, circumference, tangent, sector, segment and arc
Find the circumference and area of a circles to an amount of decimal places or in terms of π.
Next Steps
Work with compound shapes made from several 2D shapes and working with algebra.
Key Words
Perimeter – Literally the distance all the way around the outside of a shape, as if you had to walk around the outside. It is measured in DISTANCE units (m, cm, km, miles, feet etc.) Area – The amount of space trapped inside the edges/lines that make up a shape. It is
measured in AREA or SQUARED units cm2, m2,
km2, miles2(sometimes square miles) or feet2
(usually sq. ft.). You may have heard of acres and hectares too.
Circumference – A special version of perimeter that we call the outside edge or perimeter of a circle.
Centre of a circle – The centre is the point exactly in the middle of the circle .
The centre is exactly the same distance from anywhere on the circumference.
Names of the other parts are shown here. Pi
π
– A special Greek letter we use that is the link between the circumference and the diameter. Approximately 3.141…Area and Perimeter
For a triangle:
Area = (base × height)
/
2 (Remember the height is the perpendicular or straight up height)Perimeter = all three sides added together. For a square or rectangle
Area = base x height
(Sometimes called length x width)
Perimeter= 2xbase + 2xheight
[So in the example Perimeter= 6x2+12x2=36cm]
Compound shapes: Area = split up the shape
and add up the parts.
Perimeter = Total distance
around the shape.
A= 6x12 = 72cm2
Reason for Triangle Area
For a triangle:
Area = (base × height)
/
2This is because a triangle is exactly half of the rectangle with the same base and height. If you draw the full
dotted rectangle, then cut it in half. It leaves the yellow shape. It is a triangle that
Is exactly half the size of the rectangle.
Other Areas
(Parallelogram & Trapezium)
For a trapezium:
Area =
h x
(a+b)/
2H = perpendicular height A and B are the parallel sides. Example: Area = h x (a+b)
/
2 =4 x (3+5)/
2 =4 x 8/2 = 4 x 4 = 16cm2 For a parallelogram:Area = base x height
(NOTE: the height needs to be the perpendicular height)
So here Area = 2.5 x 1.8 = 4.5m2
a
b h
Converting Area Units
You need to remember the normal conversions. So 1cm = 10mm.
Since the units are squared, the conversion factor is also squared. E.G 1cm=10mm, so then 102=100.
1x1cm
21cm
210x10
100mm
2Circle Area and Circumference For Area:
We use the formula A = π r2
(Area= π x radius x radius) So here radius = 5
Area = π x 5 x 5 = π x 25
= 78.5cm2(1dp)
We may be given the wrong one (diameter not radius or vice versa). But look at the radius of the circle and the diameter of the same circle.
Diameter = 2 x radius (or D/2 = r)
For Circumference: We use the formula C=πd
Circumference = π x diameter
Here Circumference = π x 10 = 31.4 cm (1dp) NOTE: it is a distance so cm, not cm2
In terms of π (pi) simply means do the calculation, but work out the numbers only not the pi. So C = 10π cm would be the answer. So would A = 25π cm2.

Solving Equations
Inverse operations
Solve simple one step equations
Solving simple equations by the balancing method e.g. 3x – 1 = 9
Revise expansion of single bracket
Solving equations with brackets e.g. 2(x + 1) = 5 Solve with unknowns and variables on both sides.
Next Steps
Set up and solve equations
Use equations to solve real life problems Check your solution every time
Key Words
Solve – Find out what the variable (the letter) is worth.
1 Step – Using one inverse operation will find out the answer (what the variable is worth) 2 Step – The equation will need to have one inverse operation, then another to be applied to find out the variable value. You can have as many steps as you wish.
Balancing Method – When we work with the equations, we must keep them balanced like scales, so if we use the inverse we have to do it to both sides of the =
Inverse – The opposite, we do this to get rid of and move the terms we are not interested in. Applying the opposite cancels it out.
Expand - To remove the brackets from an expression or equation.
Brackets – These state that that part of the calculation needs doing first. We can use special rules to remove the brackets.
Unknown/Variable – a letter standing in place of any number.
Alternative Method
If you find it hard to see why the balancing method works, it might help to start off using the
function machine method.
3j – 6 = 9
We can see that here, we have j, times it by 3, then take off 6. We can show this in a flow chart.
If we then follow the chart back from 9, we see that to undo the take away 6 we have to add 6.
If we follow this chart back we can find what j is worth. 9+6 = 15 Then 15/3 = 5. So j = 5!
Solving One Step Equations
These are called one step equations as, to find x we are 1 step away from having x = ___
To solve the question, we use the inverse operation to get the variable
(letter) on its own. In the above example, y has 14 added to it. So the inverse is to subtract 14.
We have to keep a balance, so we do it to both sides The simple inverse operations are:
Add -> Subtract Subtract -> Add Multiply -> Divide Divide -> Multiply To solve 6t=54, remember: 6t means 6 x t.
The inverse of multiply is divide so we ÷6 both sides. We can test the answer, 6 x t = 54, 6 x 9 = 54. Right!
Expanding Brackets
To remove the brackets we have to multiply them out. There are 2 ways: 2(x + 6), grid/box:
So 3(a+4) = 3a + 12
Arrows: Both ways get the same answer. Just use whichever you like the most. x a +4 3 3a +12
Solving Equations with Brackets In Them
If an equation has brackets, the first thing to do is expand out the brackets.Use whichever method You like the most. Once you have expanded Solve it the same way As before (inverses). Check the answer, here 3(2p+5)
3(2x5 +5)
3(10+5) = 3 x 15 = 45. That is the same so it is correct!
Solving Equations (Variable on Both Sides)
We can sometimes have equations where the letter appears on both sides. We need a method to solve these.
The method is to still use inverse operations, but we have to get all of the letter on one side, all of the numbers on the other.
The first thing to do is to subtract the smaller letters from both sides. One side has 3n, the other 2n, so -2n both sides. If we follow this
method, then we will have at the end an equation that looks like the simple 1 or 2 step equations.
So at this step -5 (both sides) we get n = 2. CHECK – 3x2+5 = 11. 2x2+7 = 11. Both = 11, so CORRECT!

Key words
Fraction – a way of writing numbers which are not integers.
Integer – a whole number.
Numerator – The top number of a fraction Denominator – the bottom number of a fraction
Equivalent fractions – the same fraction written in different ways.
Improper fraction – a fraction where the numerator is bigger than the denominator Mixed number – a number with a whole number part and a fraction part.
Adding and subtracting fractions – same denominator To add or subtract fractions with the same denominator, keep the denominator the same and add or subtract the numerators.
So "#+%#='#. Also, "#−%#=%#.
Improper fractions and mixed numbers
What is a fraction? Fractions are a way of writing numbers which are not integers (whole numbers). The fraction '#means 3 out of 4, or 3 divided by 4.The number at the top is called the numerator, and the number at the bottom is called the denominator.
Multiplying with fractions To multiply two fractions together, simply multiply the numerators, multiply the denominators, then simplify. To multiply a fraction by an integer, write the integer as a fraction over 1, then multiply as above. Fractions of a quantity To find a fraction of a quantity, divide by the denominator (to find one part) and then multiply by the numerator (to find the required fraction).
Example: Find '*of £20. 1 5 𝑜𝑓 £20 = 20 ÷ 5 = £4. 3 5 𝑜𝑓 £20 = 3×4 = £12. ×2 ×2 ÷2 ÷2 Ordering fractions To order fractions, change them to equivalent fractions which all have the same denominator, and then compare the numerators. After that, convert them back to the original fractions.
Quantities as fractions To write a quantity as a fraction of another quantity, put the first quantity over the second and simplify.
For example £45 as a fraction of £50 is #*

Kinematics formulae
S,U,V,A, andT represent the different factors in the kinematics formulae or equations of motion Sis displacement U is initial velocity V is final velocity A is acceleration T is time
Using these formulae is very similar to finding the value of the subject. Example
A car is travelling at an initial velocity of 10ms-1and accelerates at 2ms-2for 10 seconds, what is the final velocity.
So we have u=10, a=2and t=10and we want to find v. Then substitute these into v =u+at
v = 10 + 2 ×10
v= 30m/s (Don’t forget your units!!!)

Presenting data 1
• Collect organise data into two-way tables • Draw & interpret pictograms
• Draw & interpret a bar and line charts (including multiple and composite bar charts)
Next Steps
Construct and interpret pie
charts and scatter graphs
Two way tables
Two-way tables are used for many types of
data, from timetables to data-analysis tables. You read them across and down at the same time.
For example, in the table below you can see that a total of 8 cars were black, and silver was the most popular colour.
Sometimes you will have to fill in missing values in a two-way table. To do this, look for any row or column with a given total and just one value missing.
Key words
Two-way table / Pictograms / Bar chart / line chart / (multiple bar chart / composite bar charts / frequency / axis / axes
Pictograms
Pictograms show quantities using pictures. The key
tells you how much one picture is worth.
In the above example, regarding mean monthly pocket money, Y11 get £15.
Bar charts
A bar chart presents grouped data with rectangular bars with lengths proportional to the values that they represent.
Multiple and composite bar
charts
Multiple, often ‘duel’, bar charts show
multiple data sets which are represented by drawing the bars side by side , as below.
Example readings include: (1) most books sold in May, (2) January saw the least sales for both CDs and books.
Composite (or ‘Stacked’) bar charts
Composite bar charts display
multiple data points stacked in a
single row or column.
Line charts
A line graph is often used to show a trend over a number of days or hours. It is plotted as a series of points, which are then joined with straight lines.
Year 9 Foundation – Unit 13
Presenting data 2
• Construct & interpret a pie chart • Plot and interpret scatter diagrams. • Identify an outlier.
• Recognise graphical misrepresentations.
Next Steps
Use a scatter graph to make predictions outside the given data range.
Pie charts
A pie chart (or a circle chart) is a circular statistical graphic which is divided into slices (sectors )to illustrate numerical proportion.
To draw a pie chart, we need to represent each part of the data as a proportion of 360, because there are 360 degrees in a circle. For example, if 55 out of 270 vehicles are vans, we will represent this on the circle as a segment with an angle of: (55/
270) x 360 = 73 degrees.
Key words
Pie chart Scatter diagrams Correlation Misrepresentations Line of best fit SectorScatter graphs
Scatter graphs (or ‘scatter plots’) show pairs of numerical (bivariate) data, with one variable on each axis, they show what sort of relationship, if any, there is between the two data sets. There are 3 main kinds of relationship (correlation), as shown below:
A line of ‘best fit’ can be drawn through the plots, from which estimated readings can be taken. The line of ‘best fit’ can also be used to make predictions from the data.
Identify outliers
An outlier is an observation that lies an abnormal distance from all the other values .Graphical misinterpretations
The “classic” types of misleading graphs include cases where: the vertical scale is too big or too small, or skips numbers, or doesn't start at zero. The graph isn't labelled properly and data is left out. See below for an example:Also, 3D bar charts give a bar extra height, which is also a way of making a graph misleading.
Key words
Faces – Any of the individual surfaces of a solid object. Vertices – A vertex (plural: vertices) is a point where two or more lines meet. It is a Corner.
Edges – An edge is a line segment that join two vertices Volume - The amount of space that a substance or object occupies, or that is enclosed within a container

Sequences
Input and output machines including inverse
Generate a sequence by spotting patterns or using the term to term rule
Special sequences of numbers e.g. square, triangular and cube numbers
Recognise simple arithmetic progressions
Next Steps
Negative indices, HCF and LCM with Venn diagrams
Keywords
Linear sequence- a sequence
which increase or decreases by the same amount each time
Power- indicates how many
times a number is to be multiplied by itself
Square numbers- the product of
multiplying a number by itself
Term-to-term rule- how you get
from one term of a sequence to the next
Substitute- to put in place of
another
Inverse- the opposite in effect
Square Numbers
A square number is the product ofmultiplying an integer by itself e.g. 4 x 4 = 16, so 14 is a square number. The sequence of square numbers is therefore:
1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144 etc. This is because 1 x 1 = 1 2 x 2 = 4 3 x 3 = 9 etc.
Triangle Numbers
Triangle numbers come from a sequence of dots that form an equilateral triangle. The first five triangle numbers are:
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21
Finding the nth term of a linear sequence
A linear sequence increases or decreases by thesame amount each time.
The nth term rule is a way of finding any term in a linear sequence, where n is the position in the sequence.
How to find the nth term of a sequence:
1) Find the common difference or term-to-term rule
2) Write out the times tables of the term-to-term rule above you sequence. Find the difference between this and the original sequence.
e.g.
The term-to-term rule is + 5.
The first term of the sequence is 2, the second term is 7 etc.
This is what we put in front of the n 5n 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 We the add or subtract this: 5n - 3 If the term-to-term rule is negative, you would have a negative number in front of n, and your times tables would be negative.
Substitution into the nth term
rule
If you want to find any term of a linear sequence from the nth term rule, you substitute in the term you would like to find e.g.
50thterm, n = 50
1000thterm, n = 1000
You can then substitute your value of n into the nth term rule
e.g. what is the 25thterm of a sequence with an nth term rule of 5n-4
n= 25
5(25) – 4 = 125 – 4 = 121
Function Machines
When we have a function machine with a power, our input is x. If we are given the output and the function, to find the input we do the inverse. The inverse of x2is the square root e.g. which number squared gives 4? 2 or -2.Squared and cubed numbers

Direct and Inverse proportion
Next Steps
Write & simplify ratio including 1:n or n:1 Share a quantity in a given ratio with three or more partsInterpreting inverse proportion graphs
Writing and Simplifying
To write a ratio, simply put the two quantities with a colon : between them. Simplify if possible/asked. To simplify, divide by a common factor of both sides.
Key words
Ratio – a set of quantities similar to a fraction, however they are not written out of a total, just the parts written together with a : between them. Variable – the thing that can change. The independent variable is the one you choose to change Proportion- A part or a share of something. Currency – A system of money in general use in a particular country.
Exchange rate - The value of one currency for the
purpose of conversion to another.
Sharing a Quantity
The worked example to the right is with 2 parts, butThe method for more parts is the same.
Share £46.70 in the ratio 1:3:4.
1+3+4 = 8 parts. 1 part = 46.70 divided by 8 = £5.84(2dp) So 3 parts = £17.51 (2dp) and 4 parts = £23.35.
The quantity shared in ratio is: £5.84 : £17.51 : £23.35
Direct and inverse proportion
Currency and exchange rates are always changing.
You have to convert from 1 currency to another.
The exchange rate £1 = 1.21€
If we go from Euros to Pounds we divide and if we go from £ to e you multiply.
There is inverse proportion or inverse variation between two amounts when as one amount increases, the other decreases.
For example, the faster you travel over a given distance, the less time it takes. As the distance is constant the given distance would be the constant of proportionality.
This is shown in the example to the right.
