1

Natural Numbers

The set of positive integers starting from 1, commonly used for counting (1, 2, 3, 4, ...).

New cards
2

Whole Numbers

All natural numbers including zero, encompassing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...

New cards
3

Integers

The complete set of whole numbers that includes positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero, e.g., ..., -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4...

New cards
4

Rational Numbers

Numbers that can be expressed in the form (p/q), where both p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero.

New cards
5

Irrational Numbers

Numbers that cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers, including non-repeating non-terminating decimals such as the square root of 2 (√2) and pi (π).

New cards
6

Terminating Decimals

Decimal numbers that have a finite number of digits after the decimal point, such as 0.25 or 3.5.

New cards
7

Recurring Decimals

Decimal numbers where one or more digits repeat infinitely, such as 0.333... or 1.666... .

New cards
8

BODMAS

An acronym that represents the sequence of operations to be followed in mathematical expressions: Brackets, Orders (e.g., powers and square roots), Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction.

New cards
9

Even Numbers

Integers that can be evenly divided by 2 without a remainder, such as 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, ...

New cards
10

Odd Numbers

Integers that cannot be evenly divided by 2 and have a remainder of 1, such as 1, 3, 5, 7, ...

New cards
11

Significant Figures

The digits in a number that are important to its precision, starting from the first non-zero digit.

New cards
12

Standard Form

A method of expressing numbers as a product of a number between 1 and 10, multiplied by an integer power of ten, e.g., 4,500 can be represented as 4.5 × 10^3.

New cards
13

Conversion Factors

Ratios that are used to convert a quantity expressed in one unit to another unit, facilitating measurement comparisons.

New cards
14

Simple Interest Formula

I = PRT/100

New cards
15

Compound Interest Formula

A = P(1 + r/100)^n

New cards
16

Quadratic Equations

ax² + bx + c = 0

New cards
17

Pythagoras' Theorem

a² + b² = c²

New cards
18

Congruent Triangles

Two triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning all corresponding sides and angles are equal.

New cards
19

Similar Triangles

Two triangles that have the same shape, indicating that their corresponding angles are equal and the lengths of their corresponding sides are proportional.

New cards
20

Area of Triangle Formula

Area = 1/2 * base * height

New cards
21

Surface Area of Sphere

Surface area = 4πr²

New cards
22

Cumulative Frequency

The total number of observations in a dataset that fall below a particular value, used in statistics to summarize the distribution of data.

New cards
23

Probability

The measure of the likelihood that an event will occur, computed as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.

New cards
24

Line of Symmetry

A line that divides a shape into two identical halves, such that one half is a mirror image of the other.

New cards
25

Transformations

Mathematical operations affecting the position, orientation, or size of shapes, specifically translation (shifting), rotation (turning), reflection (flipping), and enlargement (scaling).

New cards
26

Vectors

Quantities characterized by both magnitude (size) and direction, often represented as arrows in a coordinate system.

New cards
27

Matrices

Rectangular arrays of numbers or symbols used to represent and solve mathematical equations, especially in linear algebra.

New cards
28

Inverse of a Matrix

A matrix that, when multiplied by the original matrix, results in the identity matrix, effectively reversing the original matrix's transformation.

New cards
29

Bearing

A directional measurement expressed in degrees, indicating the angle from North (0°) to a specific line or path of movement, commonly used in navigation.
