Mathematics

This term in Mathematics, you’ll explore several foundational and advanced concepts that are important for solving real-life and abstract problems.

You’ll start with the Number Base System, where you’ll learn how to convert numbers from one base to another (like from base 10 to base 2 or base 5) and understand how different number systems work. This leads into Binary Numbers, which are especially important in computing and digital technology, since computers use binary to process information.

Next, you’ll be introduced to Modular Arithmetic, often called “clock arithmetic,” where you’ll learn how to work with remainders — something useful in programming, cryptography, and even everyday situations.

You’ll also cover Indices (or powers), which are shortcuts for multiplying the same number several times, and you’ll use the laws of indices to simplify and solve expressions.

As you move on, you’ll revisit Simple Equations, learning how to form and solve them more confidently. Then you’ll study Variation, which shows how one quantity changes in relation to another — for example, how speed varies with time and distance.

Finally, you’ll be introduced to Logarithms, which are the reverse of indices and are useful for solving large or complex calculations. You’ll learn how to use logarithmic tables and apply the laws of logarithms to solve problems.
