Addition and Subtraction
• Addition and subtraction are inverse operations – they reverse the effects of each other.
• Addition is a commutative operation. This means that it can be completed in any order e.g 32 + 45 = 45 + 32. However, subtraction is not.
• It is useful to know different mental methods for addition and subtraction, for example counting on, using number bonds, using number
  lines and rounding numbers e.g. 99 + 45, it would be easier to do 100 + 45 and then subtract 1.
• When completing column addition and subtraction, it is important to remember to line the digits up into the
  correct place value columns, and to remember to complete exchanges, where necessary.
  You must work from right to left.
• The perimeter of a 2D shape is the distance around the shape. This is found by adding together the lengths of all the sides. For example,
  the perimeter of this triangle is 6 + 8 + 10 = 24cm.
                                                             • The profit made is the difference between amount of money made and the
                                                                amount of money that is spent. It is calculated by subtracting the expenses
                                                                from the income.
Multiplication and Division
• Multiplication and division are inverse operations. Multiplication is commutative, however division is not.
• Factors are numbers that can be multiplied together to get another number. We record factor pairs               • This array represents 3 x 9,
  systematically, so that we do not forget any, e.g. the factors of 12 are 1 x 12, 2 x 6, 3 x 4.                     9 x 3, 27 ÷ 3 and 27 ÷ 9.
• The multiples of a number are the result of multiplying the number by another integer, e.g. the times tables of a number.
• The highest common factor (HCF) of two numbers is the greatest number that is a factor of both numbers. The lowest common multiple
  (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number that is in both numbers times tables.
• To multiply by powers of 10, the digits move the correct number of places to the left. To divide by powers of 10, the digits move the
  correct number of places to the right. Any spaces are filled with zeros as place holders.
Fractions & Percentages of Amounts
• To calculate a fraction of an amount, it is helpful to draw a bar model. • To find a percentage of an amount without a calculator, you
   The denominator of the fraction tells us how many parts to split the         can build up using key percentages.

   to shade in.                                                                 1.8 so 61% = 90 + 18 + 1.8 = 109.8
                       2
• For example, Find 5 of £95 → 95 ÷ 5 = 19. 19 x 2 = £38                      • To find a percentage of an amount with a calculator, you
                                                                                can multiply by the decimal equivalent, called a multiplier.
