Algebra – Remember to substitute (replace) the letters with the equivalent number and then complete the calculation. Show your workings out in your book. Always follow BODMAS. Examples If a = 8, b = 2, c = 3 and d = 9
a2 – (b + c)2 = 82 – (2 + 3)2 = 64 – 52 = 64 – 25 = 39
ac / 2b = (8x3) ÷ (2x2) = 24 ÷ 4 = 6
3b3 = 3 x (2x2x2) = 3 x 8 = 24
(2c – b)2 = (6 – 2)2 = 42 = 16
√d = √9 = 3 because 3x3 = 9, so the square root of 9 is 3. Please see ‘Generic Maths to do at home’ section so your child can practise the times tables sheet they are currently on. |
