Numbers & Algebra

Converting Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
  • Decimal → Percentpercent=(decimal)×100%\text{percent} = (\text{decimal}) \times 100\%
  • Percent → Decimaldecimal=(percent)÷100\text{decimal} = (\text{percent}) \div 100
  • Fraction → Decimalab=a÷b\frac{a}{b} = a \div b
  • Decimal → FractionWrite over 10, 100, 1000 … then simplify
  • Fraction → Percentpercent=ab×100%\text{percent} = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%
Arithmetic with Rational Numbers
  • Add/Subtractab±cd=ad±bcbd\frac{a}{b} \pm \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ad \pm bc}{bd}
  • Multiplyab×cd=acbd\frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ac}{bd}
  • Divideab÷cd=ab×dc\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}
  • Order of OperationsPEMDAS; left→right for × ÷ and + −
Ordering & Comparing Rational Numbers
  • Compare Fractions (<)ab<cd    ad<bc\frac{a}{b} < \frac{c}{d} \iff ad < bc
  • Compare Fractions (>)ab>cd    ad>bc\frac{a}{b} > \frac{c}{d} \iff ad > bc
  • Compare DecimalsAlign place value; compare digits left→right
  • Sqrt estimatek2<n<(k+1)2k<n<k+1k^{2} < n < (k+1)^{2} \Rightarrow k < \sqrt{n} < k+1
Percent Problems
  • Partpart=percent×whole\text{part} = \text{percent} \times \text{whole}
  • Percentpercent=partwhole\text{percent} = \frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}}
  • Wholewhole=partpercent\text{whole} = \frac{\text{part}}{\text{percent}}
  • Percent Changenewoldold×100%\frac{\text{new} - \text{old}}{\text{old}} \times 100\%
One‑Variable Linear Equations
  • Solveax+b=cx=cbaax + b = c \Rightarrow x = \frac{c - b}{a}
  • Distributea(b+c)=ab+aca(b + c) = ab + ac
  • Combine like termsAdd coefficients of the same variable
Ratios & Rates of Change
  • Ratioa:b=aba:b = \frac{a}{b}
  • Unit RateValue per 1 unit (divide by the units)
  • Rate of ChangeΔyΔx\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}
Multi‑Step Word Problems
  • Distanced=r×td = r \times t
  • Percent Errormeasuredtruetrue×100%\left| \frac{\text{measured} - \text{true}}{\text{true}} \right| \times 100\%
Estimation & Rounding
  • Rounding≥ 5 → round up; < 5 → round down (at chosen place)
  • Compatible numbersChoose close, easy numbers for mental math
Setting Up & Solving Proportions
  • Proportionab=cd    ad=bc\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} \iff ad = bc
  • DosageDose=(DesiredHave)×Volume\text{Dose} = \left( \frac{\text{Desired}}{\text{Have}} \right) \times \text{Volume}
  • ConcentrationC=solutesolutionC = \frac{\text{solute}}{\text{solution}}
Expressions, Equations & Inequalities in Context
  • Inequality flipMultiply/divide by a negative → reverse the inequality sign
  • Translate words → mathDefine variable; write expression/equation/inequality

Measurement & Data

Reading Tables, Charts & Graphs
  • Percent of Wholecategorytotal×100%\frac{\text{category}}{\text{total}} \times 100\%
  • Mean (freq. table)xˉ=(xifi)fi\bar{x} = \frac{\sum (x_i f_i)}{\sum f_i}

Basic Descriptive Statistics
  • Meanxˉ=xn\bar{x} = \frac{\sum x}{n}
  • MedianMiddle value; even n → average the two middles
  • ModeMost frequent value
  • Rangemaxmin\text{max} - \text{min}
Relationships Between Two Variables
  • Slopem=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
  • Liney=mx+by = mx + b
  • Correlationpositive / negative / none
