Numbers can be written in words. Both positive and negative numbers can be added, subtracted, multiplied and divided using rules. These rules must be applied in a specific order.

Approximation includes estimation, rounding to powers of 10, decimal places and significant figures.

Decimals are used every day, for example, when using money. Knowing how to use decimal points and places when adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying is an important mathematical skill.

Prime numbers, factors and multiples are essential building blocks for a lot of number work. Knowledge of how to use these numbers will improve arithmetic and make calculations more efficient.

Calculations with very big or small numbers can be made easier by converting numbers in and out of standard form.

An index, or power, is the small floating number that appears after a number or letter. Indices show how many times a number or letter has been multiplied by itself.

Fractions are used commonly in everyday life, eg sale prices at 1/3 off, or recipes using 1/2 a tablespoon of an ingredient. Knowing how to use fractions is an important mathematical skill.

Fractions, decimals and percentages are frequently used in everyday life. Knowing how to convert between them improves general number work and problem solving skills.

Surds are numbers left in square root form that are used when detailed accuracy is required in a calculation. They are numbers which, when written in decimal form, would go on forever.

Financial maths is needed for all jobs, from calculating wages to working out profit, loss and VAT. Knowledge of financial maths is also required to be able to understand bank statements and savings.

Letters can be used to stand for unknown values or values that can change. Formulas can be written and equations solved to solve a range of problems in science and engineering.

Formulae are used in everyday life, from working out areas and volumes of shapes to converting units of measurement. Knowing how to use and rearrange formulae are very useful skills.

Algebraic expressions in fraction form are rational. Methods of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions plus expanding and factorising can be used to simplify rational expressions.

Forming, using and solving equations are skills needed in many different situations. From balancing accounts to making sense of a mobile phone bill, solving equations is a vital skill.

Simultaneous equations require algebraic skills to find the values of letters within two or more equations. They are called simultaneous equations because the equations are solved at the same time.

Inequalities show the relationship between two expressions that are not equal to one another. Inequalities are useful when projecting profits and breakeven figures. In this OCR Maths study guide, you can revise the more than and less than signs, how to solve inequalities and how inequality can be represented graphically.

Sequences can be linear, quadratic or practical and based on real-life situations. Finding general rules helps find terms in sequences.

Graphs show the relationship between two variables and are often seen in newspapers and the media. People who work in professions involving maths and science commonly use graphs.

The most commonly occurring graphs are quadratic, cubic, reciprocal, exponential and circle graphs. Their equations can be used to plot their shape.

Functions of graphs can be transformed to show shifts and reflections. Graphic designers and 3D modellers use transformations of graphs to design objects and images.

In real-life contexts, the intercept, gradient and area beneath graphs can contain information such as fixed charges, speed or distance.

Solve quadratic equations by factorising, using formulae and completing the square. Each method also provides information about the corresponding quadratic graph.

Ratios are seen in everyday life. They can be used when adding ingredients to make a meal, when deciding how much pocket money children get or when reading a map.

Percentages are used in everyday life, for example, calculating discounts during sales and interest rates at banks. Knowing how to find and use percentages is an important skill.

Proportion is used to show how quantities and amounts are related to each other. The amount that quantities change in relation to each other is governed by proportion rules.

Polygons are multi-sided shapes with different properties. Shapes have symmetrical properties and some can tessellate.

Loci are a set of points with the same property. Loci can be used to accurately construct lines and shapes. Bearings are three figure angles measured clockwise from North.

2-dimensional shapes are flat. The perimeter of a 2D shape is the total distance around the outside of the shape. The area of a 2D shape is the space inside the shape.

3-dimensional solids have faces, edges and vertices. Volume is the space contained within a 3D solid. Surface area is the sum of the area of each face. 3D solids can be viewed from different points.

Circles are 2D shapes with one side and no corners. The circumference is always the same distance from the centre - the radius. Sectors, segments, arcs and chords are different parts of a circle.

Circles have different angle properties described by different circle theorems. Circle theorems are used in geometric proofs and to calculate angles.

Transformations change the size or position of shapes. Congruent shapes are identical, but may be rotated or reflected. Scale factors show how much larger or smaller similar shapes are.

Pythagoras’ theorem can be used to calculate the length of any side in a right-angled triangle. Pythagoras’ theorem can be applied to solve 3-dimensional problems.

A unit of measurement describes one unit of a quantity. Units of measurement can be imperial or metric. They can be converted using conversion factors.

The three trigonometric ratios; sine, cosine and tangent are used to calculate angles and lengths in right-angled triangles. The sine and cosine rules calculate lengths and angles in any triangle.

A vector quantity has both size and direction. Vectors can be added, subtracted and multiplied by a scalar. Geometrical problems can be solved using vectors.

Probabilities can be written as fractions, decimals or percentages on a scale from 0 to 1. Knowing basic facts about equally likely outcomes can help to solve more complicated problems.

Many companies and organisations collect data to improve their information and products. Skills in collecting data can make this process more efficient and reliable.

Data is represented in many different forms. Using bar charts, pie charts and frequency diagrams can make information easier to digest.

In statistics there are three types of average: the mean, the median and the mode. Measures of spread such as the range and the interquartile range can be used to reach statistical conclusions.

Mathematical problems cover many different areas of Maths. A framework can be applied to help identify the information needed to solve the problem and to check the answer.

Number problems often involve a combination of fractions, decimals, percentages and ratio. They can be set in a real-life context. A framework can be used to tackle these problems.

Graphical problems will usually be linked to a real-life situation. Travel graphs, temperature graphs and conversion graphs are common graphs. A framework can be used to tackle graphical problems.

Geometric problems can involve finding the perimeter and area of shapes like triangles and quadrilaterals. Knowledge of shape properties is essential. A framework can be used to tackle these problems.

Algebra problems can relate to any area of maths. Problems often include a mix of algebra, number and geometry. A framework can be used to tackle these problems.

Statistical problems can involve calculating the mean, median, mode and range. Diagrams may include information which needs to be extracted. A framework can be used to tackle these problems.
