Distinguish rational and irrational values and calculate with exact values or sensible approximations.
Use products, quotients, powers, zero exponents and negative exponents with their restrictions.
Use the distributive law, collect like terms and reverse an expansion to factorise monic quadratics.
Solve linear equations and connect equivalent equation forms with points on a straight line.
Use coordinate differences and averages to measure a segment in the Cartesian plane.
Find points on parabolas and solve integer-root quadratic equations using factorisation.
Use linear and quadratic models, including simple interest, and evaluate the assumptions behind them.
Compare shifts and stretches by changing parameters and testing points.
Measure right prisms, cylinders and composite solids using appropriate square and cubic units.
Read very large and small measures and compare intervals in matching units.
Combine angle facts, similarity, scale, Pythagoras and right-triangle trigonometry.
Calculate absolute, relative and percentage error and explain what each measure tells you.
Build proportional models, interpret units and check whether a constant rate is reasonable.
Use similar right triangles to explain why sine, cosine and tangent depend on the angle, not the triangle size.
Locate enlarged points and distinguish unchanged angles from scaled lengths, areas and volumes.
Follow geometric decision rules, then build and refine constructions with meaningful tests.
Identify numerical and categorical variables, inspect collection methods and estimate population summaries from samples.
Explain how samples and chart design can change the impression created by a survey.
Use centre, spread, shape and outliers to compare numerical datasets and their displays.
Match a display to a variable type and interpret the data in its context.
Pose a question, collect appropriate data, analyse it and report conclusions with their limitations.
List ordered outcomes and calculate probabilities with or without replacement.
Estimate event probabilities from observed two-way counts without double-counting overlap.
Design repeatable chance simulations and interpret variation in their estimates.
