Estimating If you are asked to estimate an answer to a calculation – Round all the numbers off to 1 s. f. and do the calculation in your head. DO NOT USE A CALCULATOR !! e. g. Estimate the answer to 4. 12 x 5. 98 4 x 6 = 24 Always remember to write down the numbers you have rounded off Estimate the answer to these calculations 1. 58 x 21 2. 399 x 31 3. 4. 5. 7. 12 x 39. 2 0. 87 8. 4. 89 x 6. 01 1. 92 47 x 22 6. 377 19 9. 360 x 87 4899 46 7. 1906 44 10. 58 x 21
Percentages Increase: 13. 17% of Percentage increase and decrease A woman’s wage increases by 13. 7% from £ 240 a week. What does she now earn ? New amount: £ 240 + 31. 608 = 271. 608 13. 17 100 x Her new wage is £ 271. 61 a week 240 = 31. 608 10% = Percentages of amounts (Do these without a calculator) 30% = 75% = 1% = 25% = £ 600 45% = 85% = 20% = 50% = 2% =
Percentages Fractions, decimals and percentages 50% 56% Dec Frac 0. 17 1 2 0. 5 Copy and complete: % 83% 0. 04 9 50 28% 4 25 0. 92 19 20
Reverse % e. g. A woman’s wage increases by 5% to £ 660 a week. What was her original wage to the nearest penny? Original amount x 1. 05 £ 660 Original amount ÷ 1. 05 £ 660 Original amount = 660 ÷ 1. 05 = £ 628. 57 e. g. A hippo loses 17% of its weight during a diet. She now weighs 6 tonnes. What was her former weight to 3 sig. figs. ? Original weight x 0. 83 6 ton. Original weight = 6 ÷ 0. 83 = 7. 23 tonnes ÷ 0. 83 6 ton.
Repeated % e. g. A building society gives 6. 5% interest p. a. on all money invested there. If John pays in £ 12000, how much will he have in his account This is not the correct method: at the end of 5 years. £ 12000 x 0. 065 = 780 x 5 x=1. 065 3900 x 1. 065 12000 + 3900 = £ 15900 x 1. 065 ? He will have = 12000 x (1. 065)5 = £ 16441. 04 e. g. A car loses value at a rate of approximately 23% each year. Estimate how much a $40000 car be worth in four years ? This is not the correct method: 40000 = 9200 x 0. 77 £ 40000 x 0. 77 x 0. 23 x 0. 77 ? 9200 x 4 = 36800 40000 – 36800 = $3200 The car’s new value = 40000 x (0. 77)4 = $14061 (nearest $)
Types of number From this set of numbers list the: • Odd numbers • Even numbers • Multiples of 8 • Factors of 12 • Prime numbers • Square numbers • Cube numbers 100 13 7 2 16 25 3 20 1 27 9 11 6 12 Some useful words to know the meaning of: ü Sum = add together ü Product = multiply together ü Difference = subtract one number from another ü Reciprocal of a number = 1 divided by the number (e. g. Reciprocal of 4 = ¼ or 0. 25)
40 Products of primes Express 40 as a product of primes 2 20 2 40 = 2 x 2 x 5 (or 23 x 5) Express 630 as a product of primes 10 2 630 2 Now do the same for 100 , 30 , 29 , 144 5 315 3 105 3 630 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 (or 2 x 32 x 5 x 7) 35 5 7
Finding the HCF and LCM of a pair of numbers HCF stands for the Highest Common Factor (the biggest number that will go into both numbers) LCM stands for Lowest Common Multiple (the first number to appear in both numbers times table) e. g. Find the HCF and LCM of the two numbers 140 and 112 Write both numbers as a product of primes 140 = 2 x 5 x 7 and 112 = 2 x 2 x 7 For the HCF write out all the primes that appear in both answers HCF = 2 x 7 = 28 For the LCM write out the largest number of each prime that exists in either number LCM = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 = 560

Fractions with the four rules +–×÷ Learn these steps to complete all fractions questions: • Always convert mixed fractions into top heavy fractions before you start • When adding or subtracting the “bottoms” need to be made the same • When multiplying two fractions, multiply the “tops” together and the “bottoms” together to get your final fraction • When dividing one fraction by another, turn the second fraction on its head and then treat it as a multiplication

Recurring decimals as fractions Learn this technique which changes recurring decimals into fractions: Express 0. 7777…. . as a fraction. Let n = 0. 7777…. . so 10 n = 7. 7777…. . so 9 n = 7 so n = 7/9 Express 2. 3434…. . as a fraction. Let n= 2. 3434…. . so 100 n = 234. 3434…. . so 99 n = 232 so n = 232/99 Express 0. 13213213…. . as a fraction. Let n= 0. 132132132…. . so 1000 n = 132132132…. . so 999 n = 132 so n = 132/999 n = 44/333
