Key ideas
A referent is a familiar length used to estimate, like a doorway height for a metre.
Surface area sums the areas of all faces or curved surfaces of a solid.
SI units include mm, cm, m, km; imperial units include inch, foot, yard, mile.
Each solid has its own volume formula, like V = pi r squared h for a cylinder.
Different tools suit different jobs: tape measure, ruler, calipers, micrometer.
Watch out for
- Choosing a referent much larger or smaller than the unit.
- Using a volume formula for surface area.
- Mixing SI and imperial referents.

Key ideas
Every whole number greater than 1 factors uniquely into primes.
Exponent laws: product adds exponents, quotient subtracts, power multiplies.
The GCF is the largest shared factor; the LCM is the smallest shared multiple.
A rational exponent is a radical: x to the 1/2 equals root x.
A perfect square is a whole number squared; its square root is a whole number.
Watch out for
- Stopping factorization before reaching primes.
- Multiplying exponents when the law says add.
- Confusing the GCF with the LCM.

Key ideas
A graph's shape matches the story of its context.
The independent variable is the input; the dependent variable responds to it.
Slope-intercept form y = mx + b shows slope and y-intercept directly.
Whether points are connected depends on whether the data is continuous.
Ordered pairs (x, y) record matched values of the two variables.
Watch out for
- Connecting discrete data points that should stay separate.
- Swapping the independent and dependent variables.
- Misreading the slope in general form.
