Play Activities 232Examples
-
Use conventional notation for the priority of operations, including brackets, powers, roots and reciprocals
Examples
-
Use integer powers and associated real roots (square, cube and higher), recognise powers of 2, 3, 4, 5 and distinguish between exact representations of roots and their decimal approximations
Examples
-
Interpret and compare numbers in standard form A x 10n 1?A< 10, where n is a positive or negative integer or zero
Examples

Work interchangeably with terminating decimals and their corresponding fractions (such as 3.5 and 7/2 or 0.375 and 3/8)
Examples
-
Define percentage as 'number of parts per hundred', interpret percentages and percentage changes as a fraction or a decimal, interpret these multiplicatively, express one quantity as a percentage of another, compare two quantities using percentages, and w
