Things to remember:
 A factor is a whole number that divides exactly into another number.
 A multiple is a number that may be divided by another a certain number of times without a
remainder.
 A prime number only has 2 factors – 1 and itself.
 HCF is an abbreviation of Highest Common Factor and LCM of Lowest Common Multiple.

Laws of Indices

Things to remember:
 The exam question will use the word “simplify”
 When multiplying, add the indices
 When dividing, subtract the indices
 With brackets, multiply the indices
 If the exam question has the words “work out the value of”, or “evaluate” it means the
answer is a number.
 Anything to the power zero is 1
 Anything to the power one is itself
 Anything to a negative power becomes a reciprocal

Transformations

Things to remember:
 Reflection – the shape is flipped in a mirror line
 Rotation – the shape is turned a number of degrees, around a centre, clockwise or anti-
clockwise
 Translation – the shape is moved by a vector
x
y ()
 Enlargement – the shape is made bigger or smaller by a scale factor from a centre.

 Rotation – the shape is turned a number of degrees, around a centre, clockwise or anti-
clockwise
 Translation – the shape is moved by a vector
x

Calculating with Fractions

Things to remember:
 If you have a mixed number, start by converting it to an improper fraction.
 Multiply fractions is easy – just multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.
 To divide fractions, flip the second fraction upside-down and multiply instead.
 If you need to add or subtract fractions, you will need to start by finding equivalent fractions
with a common denominator.
 Make sure you leave your answer in its simplest form.
 To convert a recurring decimal to a fraction you will need to multiply by 10n, where n is the
number of recurring digits. Then subtract the original number from the new one. Rearrange
to find the fraction.
