Useful formulae and hints
Numbers are written in the form “abc”, where each letter represents
a digit
c is the number of ones in the number
b is the number of tens in the number
a is the number of hundreds in the number
For example: the number 325 has 3 hundreds, 2 tens, and 5 ones.
These are called the place values of the digits
To group numbers from largest to smallest, work from the left of the
number. Compare all the three digit numbers first.
For example: comparing 325, 346, 327, 37, 401, and 53
Of the three digit numbers, there is only one with 4 hundreds; that
must be the biggest
If the hundreds digit is the same, compare the tens digits
The next largest number is 346
If numbers have the same hundreds and tens digits, compare their
units’ digits.
327 is bigger than 325
Once all the three digit numbers have been compared, do the same
for the two digit numbers; 53 is greater than 37
Do the same for single digit numbers if there are any
5
To group smallest to largest, follow the above rules but start with the
single digit numbers, then two digits, then three
When deciding how to solve word problems, look for key words
More than, together means addition
Less than, difference means subtraction
Times means multiplication
Share means division
When looking for number patterns, work out the difference between
two numbers next to each other. See if that rule works for the next
two numbers. If it does, use your rule to complete the pattern
ௌ௢௠௘ ௡௨௠௕௘௥
Fractions are in the form
ௌ௢௠௘ ௡௨௠௕௘௥
The bottom number is called the denominator and shows the total
number of equal parts something is broken up into.
The top number is called the numerator, and shows how many of
these parts we have
ଵ
For example, the fraction shows that something is made up of four
ସ
equal parts, and we have one of these parts
(Think of a cake or pizza)
The chance of something happening can be certain, impossible, or

somewhere in between
For example, it is certain that the sun will rise tomorrow, it is

impossible that you will turn 200 years old tomorrow, but if you toss
a coin you might get heads and you might not
