REMEMBER!!!!
• Have a quick look at the paper first, making small
notes if necessary, then answer what you know you can
do first.
• Always attempt EVERY question no matter what,
showing as much working as possible.
• Remember to use the formulae sheet provided, and if
unsure of a question look at this, as it may trigger
something in your mind.
• Check all of your answers if you have time at the end.
Formulae to Remember:The Formulae NOT given in exam which you must
know include:
To calculate the Area of a Sector
Area of a circle: A = r2
To find Arc Length
Circumference: C = D = 2r
Inter Quartile Range (measure main 50% spread in
Boxplots):
IQR = Q3 – Q1
Semi-Inter Quartile Range
SIQR = 1/2(Q3 - Q1)
Standard Form/Scientific Notation
(a x 10n)
The final value must be between 1 and 10
[i.e. 99 x 104 must be written as 9.9 x 105]
4230000 = 4.23 x 106
13280000 = 1.328 x 107
0.000975 = 9.75 x 10-4 2 million million = 2 x 1012
1.2 x 103 = 1200
2.91 x 10-2 = 0.0291
7.425 x 106 = 7425000
5.23 x 10-5= 0.0000523
More complex calculations
• A massive container holds 4.23 x 106 litres
• A spoon holds 1.52 x 10-2 litres
Question:-
How many spoonfuls fill the container?
give your answer to 3 sf & in standard form
Answer:-
(use EXP button on calculator for ease)
4.23 x 106 = (4.23 EXP6) = 278289473.684 =2.78 x 108
1.52 x 10-2 (1.52 EXP-2)
spoonfuls
Significant Figures
Round the figure to a certain number of important or significant digits.
It is NOT rounding to a certain amount of decimal places.
E.g. If you have to represent
2323 to 1sf you would write 2000 (NOT 2).
As the original number is in thousands, your rounded figure should still be
in thousands.
14243 to 1sf is 10000
16.932 to 1 sf is 20
14243 to 2sf is 14000
16.932 to 2 sf is 17
14243 to 3sf is 14200
16.932 to 3 sf is 16.9
1.2374 to 1 sf is 1
1.2374 to 2 sf is 1.2
1.2374 to 3 sf is 1.24
0.00237 to 1 sf is 0.002
0.00237 to 2 sf is 0.0024
0.00237 to 3 sf is 0.00237
• NB In the last example zeros are not significant at the front of a
number, the first significant digit must be one or more.
Conversion:
• Remember to pay attention to the units
required and to how many dec plcs/sig figs!
• 60mins  1 hr
• to convert into hours we must therefore  60
(secs to mins  60) (SDT!!!)
• 1cm3 = 1ml & 1000cm3 = 1000ml = 1litre
• 1m3 = 1m x 1m x 1m = 100cm x 100cm x 100cm
= 1,000,000cm3
Fractions
ADDING/SUBTRACTING:- the denominator must be the same
e.g. 2 + 5 = 2(y-1) + 5y = 2y-2 + 5y – 5 = 7y – 2
y (y-1)
y(y-1)
y(y-1)
y(y-1)
MULTIPLICATION:- Multiply straight over and then simplify
e.g. a x 2b = 2ab = b
4c a
4ac 2c
DIVISION:- Change to multiply  turn fraction upside down
e.g. ab  a = ab x 3c = 3abc = b
9c 3c 9c
a
9ac
3

Substitution **Remember (-3)2= 9 NOT –9 and follow rules of BODMAS!
BODMAS Brackets Order Divide Multiply Add then Subtract
Algebraic Fractions
• Remember to follow through from previous part of
factorising question if given an algebraic fraction, then
simplify wherever possible:
x2 – 8x + 7 = (x – 7) (x – 1) = (x – 1)
x 2 - 49
(x – 7) (x + 7) (x + 7)
Profit/Loss
(Appreciation/Depreciation) can be calculated as a
percentage by:-
Difference in Value x 100% = % Profit or Loss
Original Value
To make into a percentage.
Given 12 out of 30 pupils are girls, what is this as a percentage of all pupils?
12 out of 30 can be written as 12 = 4 = 40
30 10 100
{NB easier to make into a percent if over 10 or 100}
Compound Interest
Shortcut Method [£ x (1.00 + %)y]
Appreciation:- The value increases by itself (100%) + the %
increase
e.g 5% increase in value is (100% + 5%) = 105%
so multiplying factor  1.05
Depreciation:- The entire value decreases (100%) - % decrease
e.g 5% decrease in value is (100% - 5%) = 95%
so multiplying factor  0.95
Example of Compound Interest
Ex: Calculate compound interest when investing £720 at a
rate of 5.7% over 3 years?
An increase in 5.7% over 3 years can be written as
(1.00 + 0.057)3  (1.057) 3
£720 x (1.057) 3 = £850.27 (to the nearest penny)
[Only use this method if same percent change each year.]
Reversing Values
(i.e. Going Backwards to find original value** DIFFICULT)
After a 10% increase a house is worth £88 000. Find its
original value?
Original value = 100%
House is now valued at (100% + 10%) = 110%
= 1.10
House Value
110%  £88 000
1.10  £88 000
1  £88 000 = £80 000
1.10
A car depreciates in value by 12% over the year
and is now £9680.
What was its value at the start of the year?
Original value = 100%
 Car is now valued at (100% - 12%) = 88%
= 0.88
Original Car Value
88%  £9 680
0.88  £9 680
1  £9 680 = £11 000
0.88
Circles
1 Arc Length is part of the circumference, so use
A x D
360
2 Area of a Sector is related to ‘Area’, so use
A x r2
360
3 In the circle a line, or tangent, to the circle creates an angle of 90o
4 Any triangle in a semi-circle with an angle touching the circle has an angle of 90o

• Using Pythagoras or basic trig you may then find
the unknown side
• If finding the height of a tunnel take
unknown + radius
• If finding depth below take radius - unknown
Make into a right angled triangle
• Bottom depth will be  H = (radius – x)
• Height will be

Linear Relationships : y
= mx + c
Line cuts Y-axis at (0,c) thus can find value of ‘c’ by looking
at graph
Gradient is ‘m’ which can be found by
Gradient
m = Vertical = Rise = Difference in y’s = y2 - y1
Horizontal Run
Difference in x’s
x2 – x1
If asked to draw a line given an
equation:
• Make a small grid with x values 0, 1, 2 and plot line
i.e. if y = 3x - 4
Y = 3x – 4
• x 0 1 2
y -4 -1 2
thus can plot 3 coords (0, -4); (1, -1) & (2, 2)
and extend to draw a line
• Special Cases:Gradient = 0
Gradient Undefined
Remember Positive Gradients  Uphill (Positive)
Negative Gradients  Downhill (Negative)
& Parallel lines have the same gradient
Algebra: Opening Brackets
•
Always use a FOIL to help multiply two brackets
(x + 2)(x + 6)
= x2 + 2x + 6x + 12
= x2 + 8x + 12
(x - 4) 2= (x -4)(x - 4)
= x2 - 4x - 4x + 16
= x2 - 8x + 16
If a larger bracket is to be opened then it may be easier to use a grid:(x + 5)( x2 + 8x + 12)
= x3 + 8x2 + 5x2 + 12x + 40x + 60
= x3 +13x2 + 52x + 60
x2 + 8x + 12
x x3 + 8x2 + 12x
+5 5x2 + 40x + 60
x3 + 13x2 + 52x + 60
Understanding the signs
x2 + 5x + 4
= (x + ?)(x + ? )
= (x + 1)(x + 4)
All signs positive so either
1 x 4 or 2 x 2 to get 4 at end.
As 5 in middle => must use 1 and 4
x2 – 14x + 13
= (x - 1)(x - 13)
13 is positive, BUT -14x in middle
=> 2 negatives multiplied together to get +13
Prime number so can only be -1 x -13 which gives -14 in middle
x2 + 2x – 3
= (x + 3)(x - 1)
-3 implies must be 2 different signs + / - to give -3
-3 x 1 or 3 x 1. As +2x in middle must be 3 and -1
x2 – 6x – 7
= (x - 7)(x + 1)
-7 implies 2 different signs to make -7 => Either -7 x 1 or +7 x -1
As -6x in middle the larger number is influencing a negative result
Thus -7 and 1 shall give -6x in middle
Summary
x2 + ?x + ?
=> Both + & sum gives positive middle value
x2 – ?x + ?
=> Both – & sum gives negative middle value
x2 + ?x – ?
=> 2 different signs & difference gives
positive middle value (Large part is
Positive)
=> 2 different signs & difference gives
negative middle value (Largest part is
Negative)
x2 – ?x – ?
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURE EACH
TIME WHEN FACTORISING:Is there a COMMON FACTOR?
i.e. 2x - 12x = 2x(x – 6)
Is there a DIFFERENCE OF TWO SQUARES?
4a – 25b2 = (2a) – (5b) = (2a + 5b)(2a – 5b)
Can it FACTORISE (Is it a trinomial in 3 parts?)
x – 8x + 7 = (x – 7)(x – 1)
ELSE if to solve to A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF DECIMAL PLACES
OR SIGNIFICANT FIGURES use the QUADRATIC FORMULA
Solving a Quadratic Problem
Example: Solve the following x2 – 8x + 7
for x
x2 – 8x + 7 = 0
(Set = 0 if not given)
(x – 7)(x – 1) = 0
(Factorise quadratic)
(x – 7) = 0 & (x – 1) = 0
x=7
&
x=1
Quadratic Formulae
Use when factorisation is not possible and asked
to a specific number of decimal places/significant figures
ax2 + bx + c = 0 and a  0
where a, b and c are constants from the quadratic
x = -b +/- (b2 - 4ac)

Symmetry at x = 4
Cuts y-axis at x=0,
y = (0 - 4)2 - 1 = (16) - 1= 15
So cuts at (0,15)
Cuts x-axis at y=0,
(x - 4) 2 - 1 = 0
x2 – 8x + 16 – 1 = 0
x2 – 8x + 15 = 0
(x – 3)(x – 5) = 0
x–3=0&x–5=0
x=3
& x=5
So cuts at (3, 0) & (5, 0)
Having obtained all information it is then possible to sketch the quadratic graph.

Simultaneous Linear Equations :
3 Methods
•
1. Graphical:
This solves for the values of x and y where both lines have same value
(i.e. they cross/intersect). It is necessary to sketch two lines for this and the point of
intersection is the where the solution can be found.
•
2. Substitution:
Place one equation into the other and solve using substitution.
e.g y = 2x and y = -x + 12
y =3x and 7x + 2y = 39
If y = y using the method of substitution
2x = -x + 12
2x + x = 12
3x = 12
x=4
This time subst y = 3x into other equation
7x + 2y = 39
7x + 2(3x) = 39
7x + 6x = 3
13x = 39
x=3
Then find y using either equation given at start.
Simultaneous Linear Equations
3. Elimination:
Whenever presented with TWO EQUATIONS and you need
to find the values of x and y, p and q etc
Use the system of SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS
•
ALWAYS eliminating one variable to solve for one, then substitute this into
the equation to find the other.
•
SAME SIGNS => SUBTRACT EQUATIONS
•
DIFFERENT SIGNS => ADD EQUATIONS TOGETHER
•
Then use this value to find the other unknown choosing ANY equation.
Statistics
• You must know how to interpret, construct and present
the following:• Bar and Line graphs
• Stem and Leaf Plot and Pie charts
• Frequency tables, diagrams and polygons
• Cumulative Frequency diagrams
• Box Plots; Dot Plots and 5-Figure Summary
• Probability and Relative Frequency (same idea as
probability)
• Scatter Diagram
• Standard Deviation

You must ORDER DATA & find the 5-figure Summary:L or Min - minimum value
Q1 - 1st/lower quartile
Q2 - median (or middle value)
Q3 - upper/3rd quartile
H or Max - maximum value
NOT given in the exam so MUST be remembered!
To find the spread of the main 50% of your information use:• The IQR (Inter Quartile Range) = (Q3 - Q1)
• SIR (semi-inter quartile range) is SIQR =1/2(Q3 - Q1)
Stem and Leaf Plots
Remember to put a key for the data
• Draw a vertical line with the main number group
being the ‘stem’, and the remaining smaller units
of the number being the ‘leaves’.
• Place in numerical order from the lowest to
highest value and represent every piece of data,
even if a number is repeated more than once.
Dot Plots
• Draw a horizontal scale from the lowest to
highest value
• Horizontal scale must be in numerical order.
• Represent each piece of data above the scale
with a dot
• If repeated values place a dot above the
previous data value entered.
Scatter Diagrams
Refer to “GCSE Maths Revision book” this is a
good example to follow.
Ensure line going through data cuts y-axis to find y
intercept, c.
Try to have same amount of data above & below
line, and about same distance from line.
Standard Deviation:
Method 1
• Create a table with 3 columns with the
following headings:
_
_
x (x – x) (x – x)2
x
• & mean of x being
_
(x - x)
_
(x - x)2
_
x bar, x = x  n
Standard Deviation:
Method 2
• Create a table with 2 columns with the following
headings:
x2
x
x
 x2
• (∑ means the total sum of)
• NB:- If presented with Standard Deviation data in the
format
• x2 = 12345 and x = 123 use the 2nd formula
given on the front sheet without creating a table.
Similar Shapes
• Similar triangles are Equiangular
have the same angles & sides are in proportion
Scale Factor (SF)
• Similar Areas.
Area units are cm2  (Scale Factor) 2
• Similar volumes have all dimensions in proportion i.e
Volume units are cm3  (Scale Factor) 3
Separate Similar Triangles
• When can’t see the problem clearly make a
new sketch by separating the triangles.
• This will make the problem far more clear.
Redraw complicated shapes
• Use z-shape angle rules & separate for simplicity

Ratio and Proportion
Ratio
If Michael, Lisa and Stephanie share a bag of 81 sweets in the
ratio 2:3:4, how many sweets does each person get?
•
Add parts together to find total amount of shares
2+3+4=9
•
Take value and divide by total shares to find 1 share
81  9 = 9
•
When you have found 1 share  9 sweets here, you can then substitute
back into original ratio
2 : 3 : 4
2x9:3x9:4x9
18 : 27 : 36
•
Check by adding together 18 + 27 + 36 = 81 sweets

Trigonometric Graphs
Y = aSin(bx) + c & Y = aCos(bx) + c
a  AMPLITUDE in front of function gives the height of the graph.
If unsure take the lowest to highest values and half to get height
b  REPETITIONS is found within the function beside x.
[i.e. how many times it is repeated in 360o]
c  moves the graph up/down the y-axis
Max = (c + a ) & Min = (c – a)
which tell us the Max/Min heights
The value of b also changes the PERIOD of the curve (360/b)
Period = 360/b
