Guide

Each subject has provided you with a list of content which needs to be covered

for revision.

The list is a series of ‘I can…’ statements. You need to tick the box next to each

statement once you have covered it. You should aim to cover each statement at

least 3 times.

Some subjects have provided a list of key terms. It is your job to write in the

definitions. The use of the key words enables you to achieve higher marks in

assessments as it shows the examiner that you are aware of the subject specific

language.

You will also find a section for ‘memorisation’ for a majority of subjects. This is

the information you are expected to know off by heart for each exam. You

should make this a key focus of your revision.

Science has proved that pathways between neurons in your brain can be strengthened over time.

Simple repetition – practising retrieving a memory over and over again – is the best form of consolidating information. You need to try and revise each ‘I can statement…’ at least three times.

There are key elements of each examination course that need to be fully memorised in order for you

to obtain the highest marks possible in the exam. The information below should be a priority for

memorising as part of your revision.

Memorisation

There is so much to memorise and use in maths that the best way to revise is to practice, practice and

practice some more, do not just sit and read your exercise book.

Find lots of questions which give you the opportunity to practice the skills learnt, especially when the

question is not straight forward and you need to unpick what all the words are actually asking you to do.

Use your memorisation skills learnt in Spanish to help you memorise all the formulae needed for maths, this

is just a flavour of what you may need.

BIDMAS – Brackets, Indices, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction

Know the location and how to use the key buttons on your calculator for creating; powers,

roots, negative numbers, fractions

Rules for area and perimeter:

o Area of a rectangle or square = length x width

o Perimeter of a rectangle or square = (length + width) x 2

o Area of a triangle = ½ x base x height

o Area of a parallelogram or rhombus = base x height

o Area of a trapezium = ½ (top + bottom) x height

o Area of a circle = π r2

o Circumference of a circle = π d

Rules for finding the volume:

o Volume of cube or cuboid = length x width x depth

o Volume of a prism = area of the cross section x depth (use the rules above for area to find the area of the cross section – the shape that goes all the way through the

prism)

o Volume of a cylinder = π r2 x depth

Probabilities can only be given using fractions, percentages or decimals

Probabilities add up to 1

The probability of something happening (p) and not happening (1-p) add up to 1

If you are asked to estimate or approximate an answer round everything to 1 significant

figure

Metric conversions e.g. grams to kilograms
