1. Algebra Fundamentals ๐Ÿ“

Mastering variables and equations is key!

Key Concepts:

  • Linear Equations: ax + b = c โ†’ solve for x
  • Quadratic: axยฒ + bx + c = 0 โ†’ use quadratic formula or factoring
  • Inequalities: Solve like equations, flip sign when multiplying by negative

Quadratic Formula: x = (-b ยฑ โˆš(bยฒ-4ac)) / 2a

2. Geometry Essentials ๐Ÿ“

Shapes, areas, and volumes:

Formulas to Memorize:

  • Rectangle Area: A = length ร— width
  • Triangle Area: A = ยฝ ร— base ร— height
  • Circle Area: A = ฯ€rยฒ
  • Circle Circumference: C = 2ฯ€r
  • Pythagorean Theorem: aยฒ + bยฒ = cยฒ

3. Word Problems Strategy ๐Ÿ’ก

CUBES method:

  • Circle the numbers
  • Underline the question
  • Box key words (total, difference, product)
  • Evaluate - what operation?
  • Solve and check

4. Number Sense & Shortcuts โšก

Mental math tricks:

  • ร—11: 23 ร— 11 = 253 (put sum of digits in middle: 2_3 โ†’ 2(2+3)3)
  • ร—5: Divide by 2, multiply by 10 (48 ร— 5 = 240)
  • Square of 5-ending: 25ยฒ = 625 (2ร—3=6, append 25)
