These are all important maths facts that will help you in your maths lessons. You will learn these facts in school and practice them at home.
So come on let’s get practising!
Multiplication FactsTo multiply whole and decimal numbers by ten and a hundred.
Multiplying by 10 the digits move one place to the left.
For example: 34.5 x 10 = 345
hundreds / tens / units / ● / tenths
3 / 4 / ● / 5
3 / 4 / 5 / ●
Multiplying by 100 the digits move two places to the left.
For example: 9.9 x 100 = 990
hundreds / tens / units / ● / tenths
/ / 9 / ● / 9
9 / 9 / 0 / ●
/ Division facts
To divide whole and decimal numbers by ten and a hundred.
Dividing by 10 the digits move one place to the right.
For example: 123 ÷ 10 = 12.3
Hundreds / tens / units / ● / tenths
1 / 2 / 3 / ●
1 / 2 / ● / 3
Dividing by 100 the digits move two places to the right.
For example: 712÷ 100 = 7.12
hundreds / tens / units / ● / tenths / hundredths
7 / 1 / 2 / ●
7 / ● / 1 / 2
Measurement
Length
5mm = ½cm
10mm = 1cm
25cm = ¼m
50cm = ½m
75cm = ¾m
100cm = 1m
1000m = 1km
Mass
250g = ¼ kg
500g = ½ kg
750g = ¾kg
1000g = 1 kg
Capacity
250ml = ¼ litre
500ml = ½ litre
750ml = ¾litre
1000ml = 1 litre / Fractions, Decimals & Percentages
1 tenth = = 0.1 = 10%
A quarter = ¼ = 0.25 = 25%
A half = ½ = 0.5 = 50%
Three quarters= ¾ = 0.75 =75%
