Memory Aid

You are required to have a memory aid

It can be one piece of paper, double sided
Has to be hand written (not typed)
Helpful tips
Make sure it is easy to find what you need
Give all the topics a title (Integers, Circles)
Dont write to big or too small (you want to fit everything
on both sides, but too small is hard to read)
Make sections for all the topics
Make sure you have every formula that you would need
Put examples of questions with step-by-step instructions

Integers

+ and - = - and - = +

Balloons and bricks are attached to a hot
air balloon. The balloons make the hot air
balloon go upward and the bricks make
the hot air balloon go downward.
The hot air balloon starts at 100m and
then the balloons and bricks are attached.
At what altitude will the hot air balloon
come to rest?

Algebra
Simplifying
Remember: You cant add a variable (x)
with a number that does not have a
variable
Example:
5x + 2 + 4x + 7 3x 9 + 12 + 11x
What does it equal?

Simplifying Algebra
1. 5(x + 2) + 3(4x) 9
2. 6(x 3) 2(x) + 17
3. 10(2 + x) + 4(x 6)
4. 5 + 7(x + 2) 3 -4(x + 20)

Algebra
Remember:
1. What you do on one side of the equal (=) symbol, you must do on the other
side
2. What ever is outside the bracket you must multiply what is inside the
bracket.
Example:
4(x 4) = 2(x 2)
Step 1: Multiply number outside of bracket with what is inside the bracket.
4x 16 = 2x 4
Step 2: Get Rid of the number on the left side of equal (=) symbol
4x 16 = 2x 4
+16 +16
4x = 2x + 12
Step 3: Get rid of number with variable (x) on right side of equal (=) symbol
4x = 2x + 12
-2x -2x
2x = 12
Step 4: Divide variable (x) on left side by itself, and do to other side
2x = 12

Percent in Words
There are 999 students at DArcy
McGee. 666 of them are girls. What
percentage of the student population
are boys?

Percent in Words
First figure out what the percentage is of girls
at DArcy.
Divide () number of girls by total students
666 999 = 0.666 which is 0.67
Change the decimal into percent
0.67 100 = 67%
Take total percent of students away from
girl percentage.
100% - 67% = 33%
Answer the question
33% is the amount of boys that attend DArcy.

Circles
Radius A line that starts at the edge of
the circle and goes to the middle.
Radius times () 2 = diameter
Diameter A line that starts at the edge
of a circle and goes across to the other
side of the circle, passing through the
middle.
Diameter 2 = Radius

Radius and Diameter

Find Diameter
1. r = 2.2cm
2. r = 9.45m
6.66cm
Find the Radius
2. d = 8.8m
3. d = 4.52cm
= 180.2m

3. r =

4. d
