Hello!

Good luck!
From your

1 Think about drawing the shape: If the area is 9cm2 then each side
must be 3cm 3cm

Perimeter means distance around

3cm 3cm 12cm
the edge: 3cm x 4 = 3cm

2 You need to think of the 5, 12 and 3 times tables:

5 x 20 = 120
12 x 10 = 120 120
3 x 40 = 120

3 Just a simple sum: 10004 – 17=

9987
4 From question 1, remember that perimeter means distance around
the edge. Instead of numbers, we now have algebra. Remember, x
is just a mystery number. It is nothing to worry about!

• Put the measurements on all sides

• Collect (add up) the x’s
0.5x + 3
11x + 14
5x + 5x + 0.5x + 0.5 x = 11x 5x + 4 5x + 4

• Now add up the numbers

0.5x + 3
4 + 4 + 3 + 3 = 14

5 Percentages are out of 100 so we need to make the score out of 100

17/50 = 34/100 (if you multiply top and bottom by 2) 34%

6 There are 3 even numbers on a dice (2, 4 and 6) and 6 numbers

altogether, so we have 3/6. But we can simplify 3/6 by dividing
top and bottom by 3 to get our fraction in its simplest form
½

7 If Sally keeps the biggest share, then she has 3 parts and Ann has 2
parts. Now we can solve like a normal ratio question:

• Add up the parts: 3 + 2 = 5 £18

• Divide the ‘pot’ of money by number of parts:
£30 ÷ 5 = £6 per part
• Sally has 3 parts so at £6 per part, we have 3 x £6 =
8 The fractions have different denominators (bottom numbers) so we
can not just add them- we need to make the denominators the same

2 = 4 (multiply top and bottom by 2)

3 6
5/6

2/3 + 1/6 now becomes 4/6 + 1/6 =

9 If 4/5 are eaten, there must be 1/5 left. We need to change 1/5
into a percentage. As before with question 5, we need to change it
to out of 100
1 = 20 which is
20%
5 100

10 30 sweets = £1.20 Divide both sides by 30

1 sweet = £1.20 ÷ 30 £0.04 or 4p
11 Obtuse angles are bigger than 90º but less than 180º
145º
12 We need to know the 2 and 17 times tables and find the lowest
number that appears in both 34
13 We need to find the factors of both 14 and 28 and identify the
highest number in both lists

14: 1, 14, 2, 7 14
28: 1, 28, 2, 14, 4, 7

14 You need to identify the rule: divide by 2. Each number is half of

the number above. Half of 360 = 180

15 Vertices means corners.

Draw out a cuboid- it helps! 8
16 You need to be aware that the measurements are not written on
each side! We should have:
26cm
5.5 + 5.5 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 4 =

17 Range = biggest – smallest = 49 – 6 =

43
18 The median is the middle number when the set is ordered
27
6 12 27 36 49
19 The mode is the most frequent number, but all numbers appear in
the same quantities No
20 We need to find out what fraction are cartoons first- remember
1/2 is the same as 5/10
1 – (1/2 + 3/10) = 2/10 then 2/10 of 60 = (60 ÷ 10) x 2 12
21 We need to find the surface area of the box

Each face has area 10cm x 10cm = 100cm2

600cm2
There are six faces: Total surface area = 100cm2 x 6 =

22 (6cm x 7cm) + (5cm x 8cm) = 42cm2 + 40cm2 and the answer should
be 82cm2
82cm2
23 Remember 1km = 1000m so 1/10 of a km = 100m
100m > 1.2m
1/10 of a km
24 We need 100 ÷ 32 = 3.125 so we need
(since we cannot buy 0.125 of a box) 4 boxes
25 In 1 hour = 60 minutes
½ hour = 30 minutes
¼ hour = 15 minutes 135 mins
2 hours = 120 minutes 2 ¼ hours =

26 We need to work out what 1 apple costs by dividing £9.12 by 12

to get 76p per apple. 7 apples = 76p x 7 = £5.32
27 An isosceles triangle has 2 sides and 2 angles the same- in this
case it is the base angles:

• Angles on a straight line add up to 180º

• 180º - 37º = 143º
143°
106º

37º 37º 143º

28 We can not compare the fractions: we need to make the

denominators the same.

• Multiply the bottom numbers together to get a common

denominator:
• 6 x 7 = 42
• Now make both fractions out of 42:

4 = 28 multiply top and bottom by 7 5/7

6 42

5 = 30 multiply top and bottom by 6

7 42

• We can see that 30/42 is larger than 28/42, so the

biggest fraction is

29 Pupils present: 28 - 7 = 21
Fraction present: 21/28 =3/4 (divide top and bottom by 7)
Need to remember that 3/4 is the same as
75%

30 There are 360º in a circle and 50% = ½

½ of 360 = 180º
31 A rectangle can be divided into 2 triangles, so the area of a triangle
is always half the area of the rectangle.
2 x 15cm2 = 30cm2

You need to remember the meanings of inequality symbols;

> means more than whereas < means less than
32 6 tenths = 60% (6/10 = 0.6 = 60%) =
33 5 miles < 5km (1 mile = 1.6km)
<
34 1.7 = 1.70 (add 0 to the end and you will not
alter the value of the decimal) =
35 1.5kg > 105g (1.5 kg = 1500g)
>
You need to learn these:

36 All three angles total 180º

37 A right angle = 90º
1/3 of 90º = 30º
38 There are 4 right angles
4 x 90º = 360º

39 Degrees in a circle total 360º

40 Same as a square 360º

Square root is the opposite of squaring

41 11 x 11 = 121 √121 = 11

42 8x8 = 64 √64 = 8
Wonderful algebra! Follow these solutions and you can’t go wrong!

43 7x + 6 = 55 remember this mean 7 times ? + 6 = 55

We need to work backwards and undo the operations- just like

a number machine question
x=7
55 – 6 = 49 (opposite of +6 is –6)

49 ÷ 7 = 7 (opposite of times 7 is ÷ 7)

You can then ‘substitute’ this back in to see if the equation works:
7x + 6 = 55 becomes (7 x 7) + 6 = 55 49 + 6 = 55 It works!

44 12x – 9 = 51 remember this mean 12 times ? - 9 = 51

+ 9 to both sides and this gives

12x = 60
÷ by 12
x=5 x=5
You can then ‘substitute’ this back in to see if the equation works:
12x – 9 = 51 becomes (12 x 5) -9 = 51 60 – 9 = 51 It works!

45 5x + 5 = 11x – 49 slightly more difficult, we have got an extra – 49

on the end. We need to undo – 49 and + 49 to both sides
(Remember: add 49 to the +5 and -49, not the x terms!)

5x + 54 = 11x

Now - 5x from both sides to get:

54 = 6x

We do not want 6x, only x, so ÷ both sides by 6

x=9
x=9
If we substitute x = 9 into the equation, both sides should equal
the same:

5x + 5 = 11x – 49 becomes

(5 x 9) + 5 = (11 x 9) – 49

45 + 5 = 99 - 49

50 = 50 both sides are equal so our answer must be correct!

46 This is easier if you change the fractions into decimals:

1 ½ + 3 ¼ = 1.5 + 3.25 (add a 0 to the end to make life easier)

4.75 or 4 ¾
1.50 + 3.25 =

47 When we multiply fractions, we can just multiply the top numbers

together and then the bottom numbers together:
3
3 x 1 = 3 x 1 = 8
4 2 4 x 2

48 On a coin we have one head and one tail - so we have one chance
out of a possible two: ½ or 50%
49 There are only 2 colours: red or black (no jokers) ½ or 50%
50 There are 4 suits: hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades (no jokers) ¼ or 25%
