Y10 Higher Revision Vocabulary

Flashcards based on the Year 10 Higher revision list covering Algebra, Number, Shape, Data, and Ratio/Proportion topics.

Decimals to fractions

The process of converting a decimal value into its equivalent fraction form.

Equation of a line

The algebraic representation of a straight line, which includes understanding parallel and perpendicular lines.

Angles in quadrilateral

Geometric study of the internal angles within a four-sided polygon.

Frequency trees

A diagram used to represent the frequencies of different categories and their sub-categories.

Direct and Inverse proportion

Mathematical relationships between two variables, including the interpretation of graphs of proportionality.

Averages from a table

Calculating the Mode, median, and mean from data presented in a frequency table.

Averages from a list

Calculating basic statistical measures (Mode, median, and mean) from a series of individual values.

Product of prime factors

A method of expressing a composite number as a product of its prime components.

Expanding brackets

An algebraic process to remove parentheses, specifically including the expansion of triple brackets.

Volume

The measurement of the three-dimensional space occupied by an object.

Distance/time graphs

Graphs used to interpret movement by showing how far an object travels over a specific period of time.

Velocity time graphs

Graphs that represent the speed and direction of an object's motion over time.

Trigonometry

The study of relationships between sides and angles of triangles, including the use of exact values.

Angle proof

The use of mathematical reasoning and geometric theorems to prove the properties of angles.

Money problems

Mathematical calculations involving financial contexts and currency.

Algebraic fractions

Fractions in which the numerator, denominator, or both contain algebraic expressions.

Percentages

A number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.

Nth term of a linear sequence

An algebraic rule used to find any term in a sequence that increases or decreases by a constant difference.

Transformations

The movement or resizing of shapes, including reflections, rotations, translations, and transformations of trigonometric graphs.

Area

The measurement of the space inside a two-dimensional shape, specifically including the area of a circle.

Standard form

A system of writing very large or very small numbers using powers of 10.

Simultaneous equations

A set of equations with multiple variables that are solved at the same time to find a common solution.

Calculations with decimals

Performing arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) using decimal numbers.

Forming expressions

Translating written information or geometric problems into algebraic statements.

Vectors

Quantities that possess both magnitude (size) and direction.

Indices

Numbers or variables representing powers or exponents.

Solving identities

Working with algebraic equations that are true for every possible value of the variables.

Surds

Square roots that cannot be simplified into whole numbers or fractions, including the process to rationalise the denominator.

Changing the subject of a formula

Rearranging an algebraic equation to make a different variable the isolated term.

Cumulative frequency graphs

A graph illustrating the running total of frequencies across different data intervals.

Histograms

A graphical representation of data using bars of different heights and widths where the area represents frequency.

Scatter graphs

Plots displaying values for two variables for a set of data, used to identify correlations including the line of best fit.
