Tree diagrams use diagrams and tables to record in a systematic way all possible mutually exclusive outcomes for single events and for two successive events
Experimental probability Compare estimated experimental probabilities with theoretical probabilities, recognising that:
– if an experiment is repeated the outcome may, and usually will, be different
Comparing experimental and theoretical probability – increasing the number of times an experiment is repeated generally leads to better estimates of probability
Fractions and decimals Order decimals, and know how to convert between fractions and decimals to order fractions
Adding and subtracting fractions Add and subtract fractions by writing them with a common denominator
Multiplying and dividing fractions Multiply and divide fractions
Percentage problems Calculate percentages and find the outcome of a given percentage increase or decrease
