Key ideas
Place value keeps repeating in groups of ones, tens, and hundreds — millions, billions, and beyond follow the same pattern.
A factor divides a number evenly; a multiple is what you get by counting up by that number.
Without an agreed order, one expression could have many answers.
Estimating first tells you roughly how big the product should be, which shows where the decimal belongs.
Percent means 'out of 100', so 45% is 45 squares shaded on a 100-grid.
Watch out for
- Losing track of the zeros when writing very large numbers.
- Confusing factors (divide into) with multiples (count up by).
- Always working strictly left to right.

- P6.3

Key ideas
Consecutive values in a column can change by a steady amount.
An equation is like a balance: whatever you do to one side, do to the other.
An expression like 4d has no equal sign; an equation like 2n + 1 = 8 does.
The two columns of a table are related by a rule we can describe.
3b = 12 stays true if you write 3b + 5 = 12 + 5.
Watch out for
- Reading a table down when the relationship is across.
- Changing one side of an equation only.
- Thinking any statement with a letter is an equation.

Key ideas
Angles are classified as acute, right, obtuse, straight, or reflex.
Perimeter is the total distance around a shape.
Triangles can be scalene, isosceles, equilateral, right, obtuse, or acute.
An ordered pair (x, y) gives the horizontal position first, then the vertical.
A translation slides, a rotation turns, and a reflection flips a shape.
Watch out for
- Judging an angle's size by the length of its arms.
- Confusing perimeter with area.
- Thinking a triangle can only be classified one way.

The sample space is the list of all possible outcomes.
Discrete data (like separate counts) suits a series of points.
Theoretical probability compares favourable outcomes to all possible outcomes.
Data can be collected by questionnaire, experiment, database, or electronic media.
Watch out for
- Joining discrete data points with a line.
- Forgetting an outcome when listing the sample space.
- Leaving a line graph unlabelled.
