Cheat Sheet
- Algebraic Expressions & Laws -
Master simplifying algebraic expressions by combining like terms and using the distributive property (a(b + c)=ab + ac). Follow the PEMDAS rule (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction) to tackle multi-step problems. Try examples like 2(x + 3) − 4x to practice expansion and simplification.
- Solving Linear Equations -
Learn to isolate the variable for equations in one step (e.g., x + 5 = 12 → x = 7) and two-step equations (2x − 3 = 11 → x = 7). Keep both sides balanced by performing the same operation on each side, such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing. Check your solution by substituting it back into the original equation to ensure both sides are equal.
- Fractions, Decimals & Conversions -
Become confident converting between fractions and decimals (e.g., ⅖ = 0.4) and comparing sizes using common denominators or decimal places. Practice addition and subtraction by rewriting fractions with a common denominator (1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2) or aligning decimal points (0.75 + 0.4 = 1.15). Remember that multiplying decimals requires shifting the decimal point based on the total decimal places.
- Angle Relationships in Geometry -
Review parallel line angle rules (alternate, corresponding, and co-interior) and the triangle angle-sum theorem (angles add up to 180°). Visualize alternate interior angles when a transversal crosses parallel lines to identify equal angles, and use the phrase "Triangle trio sums to 180°" to recall the triangle rule. Try finding the third angle when two are given, such as if angles are 50° and 60°, the third is 70°.
- Perimeter & Area Formulas -
Memorize basic formulas like perimeter of a rectangle P=2(l + w) and area A=lw, as well as triangle area A=½bh. Use grid paper to draw shapes and count squares for visual reinforcement, which also helps when dealing with irregular figures. Always label units (cm, m) and double-check calculations by plugging numbers back into the formula.
