 Introduction

The 11+ Maths Test

In most cases, the 11+ selection tests are set by GL Assessment, CEM or the individual school. You
should be able to find out which tests your child will be taking on the website of the school they are
applying to or from the local authority.
Mathematics tests are used by schools to assess the ability of each child and determine whether they
have attained the required standard of mathematical skills, reasoning and problem-solving.
It is particularly important to provide maths practice as the 11+ tests may test skills that are slightly
more advanced than those on the national curriculum for your child’s age.

About this Book

This book is split into three sections to help your child to prepare for the GL Assessment test in
mathematics. Features of each section include:
Revision
• Easy-to-digest revision notes for each topic.
• Develops the skills needed to answer test questions.
• ‘Remember’ boxes to emphasise key points and provide tips.
• Quick Tests to check understanding before moving on.
Practice
• Topic-based questions to practise the necessary skills.
• Increases familiarity with the questions expected in the test.
• Tests are timed to develop working at speed.
Assessment
• Four practice papers offer multiple opportunities to have a go at a test and gradually improve
performance.
• Familiarises your child with the format of the papers.
• Enables your child to practise working at speed and with accuracy.
Answers and explanations are provided at the back of the book to help you mark your child’s answers
and support their preparation.
Progress charts are also included to help you record scores on the practice tests and practice papers.

The Practice Papers
Spend some time talking with your child so that they understand the purpose of the practice papers
and how doing them will help them to prepare for the actual exam.
Agree with your child a good time to take the practice papers. This should be when they are fresh
and alert. You also need to find a good place to work, a place that is comfortable and free from
distractions. Being able to see a clock is helpful as they learn how to pace themselves.
Explain how they may find some parts easy and others more challenging, but that they need to have
a go at every question. If they ‘get stuck’ on a question, they should just mark it with an asterisk and
carry on. At the end of the paper, they may have time to go back and try again.
Multiple-choice tests
For this style of test, the answers are recorded on a separate answer sheet and not in the question
booklet. This answer sheet will often be marked by a computer for the actual exam, so it is important
that it is used correctly.
Answers should be indicated by drawing a clear pencil line through the appropriate box and there
should be no other marks. If your child indicates one answer and then wants to change their response,
the first mark must be fully rubbed out. Practising with an answer sheet now will reduce the chance of
your child getting anxious or confused during the actual test.
The answer sheets for the practice papers can be found at the very back of the book on pages 161–168.
Further copies of these answer sheets can be downloaded from collins.co.uk/11plus.
How much time should be given?
Allowing 50 minutes for each of these practice papers will give your child experience of the most
likely test format. If your child has not finished after 50 minutes, ask them to draw a line to indicate
where they are on the paper at that time, and allow them to finish. This allows them to practise every
question type, as well as allowing you to get a score showing how many were correctly answered
in the time available. It will also help you and your child to think about ways to increase speed of
working if this is an area that your child finds difficult.
If your child completes the paper in less than 50 minutes, encourage them to go through and check
their answers carefully.
Marking
Award one mark for each correct answer. Half marks are not allowed. No marks are deducted for
wrong answers.
If scores are low, look at the paper and identify which question types seem to be harder for your
child. Then spend some time going over them together. If your child is very accurate and gets correct
answers, but works too slowly, try getting them to do one of the practice papers with time targets
going through. If you are helpful and look for ways to help your child, they will grow in confidence
and feel well prepared when they take the actual exam.
Note: The practice papers are designed to reflect the style of GL Assessment tests, but the score
achieved on these papers is no guarantee that your child will achieve a score of the same standard on
the formal tests. Other factors, such as the standard of responses from all pupils who took the test,
will determine their success in the formal exam.

 Number and Place Value
You should be able to:
• read, write and interpret numbers expressed as numerals and in words
• order positive and negative numbers
• round a number to the nearest ten, hundred or thousand
• solve problems using numerical reasoning.

Place Value and Reading and

Writing Numbers
• Place value means that with only 10 digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
you can write any number of any size. Remember
• The table shows some positions and their place values:

• If asked how many thousands there are in a number, look at

the thousands column and read the numeral in that position. In
the number 9 653 814.72 there are three thousands.

Example
How many hundreds are there in the number 27 978?

Ordering Whole Numbers Revision
• Ordering numbers is about place value. Check whether you are
ordering largest to smallest, or smallest to largest.
• Write the numbers in columns containing thousands, hundreds,
tens and ones.
Remember
Example
Order these numbers from smallest to largest: When ordering negative
91, 996, 936, 6, 1, 19, 29, 0, 9360, 963 numbers, the process is
For ordering whole numbers, group the numbers depending on reversed, i.e. two-digit
how many digits they have, then order them within each column: numbers are smaller
than one-digit numbers.
6 91 996 9360 For example, –60 is less
1 29 963 than –5.
0 19 936
The correct order of the numbers, smallest to largest, is:
0 1 6 19 29 91 936 963 996 9360

• You can use number lines to count on or back from a given
number too.

Example
This is a picture of the thermometer in Sarah’s greenhouse.
The greenhouse is 7.5°C warmer than outside.
What is the temperature outside?

Each small sub-division is 2.5°C.

So the reading on this thermometer is –2.5°C.
7.5°C colder would be –10°C.

Rounding Whole Numbers

• Not all rounding questions use the word ‘rounding’. Other
words used include ‘sensible’, and ‘roughly’.
• Before you begin, check which place value you are rounding to:
tens, hundreds or thousands.
• When rounding to tens, look at the digit in the ones (units)
column: digits 1 to 4 round to the ten below; digits 5 to 9 round
to the ten above.
All round down to 20 All round up to 30

add it onto the smaller number (or take it away from the
larger number).

Example
What number is halfway between 17 and 35?

17 + 35 = 52 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 35 – 17 = 18
52 = 26 18 = 9
2 32, 33, 34, 35 2
Ensure that an equal number of values are crossed out on each side. 17 + 9 = 26

• For problem-solving questions, often the best approach is to try

something, test it out and see if it helps to find a way towards
a solution. If a method is taking a long time, then look for any
patterns or shortcuts that you could use.

Example 2
Arenya is playing a game where she spins a spinner to get a starting number.

She then counts up by 3, then 7, then 3, then 7, and so on. She wins the game
if she gets to say the number 37. Which number(s) on the spinner must Arenya

4
6
5
get on the spinner in order to win?
Since 3 and 7 are number bonds to 10 (i.e. 3 + 7 = 10), the units as she counts
will repeat so it is possible to see whether a starting point will give a result of 37
without needing to do the counting beyond 37 for each number.
Starting at 1, 4, 11, 14, … this will not give 37 as it will always have a final digit of 1 or 4.
2, 5, 12, 15, … 3, 6, 13, 16, …
4, 7, 14, 17, … starting on 4 will get to 37.
5, 8, 15, 18, … 6, 9, 16, 19, …
4 is the only number that will get her to 37.

Quick Test

1. Write the number ten thousand and sixty-five in numerals.

2. Write the number 370 806 in words.
3. The price of a house is £224 945. What is this rounded to:

 You should be able to:
• find an efficient method to add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers
• solve complex multiplications and divisions
• choose the correct operation to solve and follow the BIDMAS rule
• use rounding to predict answers and check for accuracy.

Mental Strategies
Addition and Subtraction Shortcuts
• Although you can always use the column method for additions
and subtractions, many questions can be solved by using
number bond facts you already know.
• Look for number bonds within lists to speed up addition.

Example
To add up this list, first identify pairs that you can add easily,
then complete the final addition:
109 4 1 91 15
109 + 91 = 200 4 + 1 = 5, then 5 + 15 = 20
200 + 20 = 220

• When subtracting, move the ‘gap’ between numbers to speed

• Many multiplication and division questions can be solved by

using already-known number bond facts.
• Use multiplication tables that you know and look for ways to
partition numbers.

Example
17 × 5 = ?
17 × 5 can be split into: 10 × 5 = 50 7 × 5 = 35
Then add the numbers back together:
10 × 5 = 50
17 × 5 = 85
7 × 5 = 35

• To multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000: move digits to the
left when multiplying, and to the right when dividing.
• When dividing, you may have to cross the decimal point.

Example
25 × 10 = 250 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
25 × 100 = 2500 250 ÷ 10 = 25
25 × 1000 = 25 000 2500 ÷ 100 = 25

• When multiplying by the numbers 9, 99 and 999:

Round the 9, 99 or 999 to 10, 100 or 1000 and adjust by
subtraction.
Calculations 11
 Example
56 × 9 = ?
56 × 9 = (56 × 10) – 56
56 × 10 = 560 560 – 56 = 504

• Your knowledge of doubling and halving numbers can also help

solve some problems.
• To multiply by 4, double the number twice.

Example
22 × 4 = ?
22 × 2 = 44 and 44 × 2 = 88

• To divide by 4, halve the number twice.

Example
248 ÷ 4 = ?
248 ÷ 2 = 124 and 124 ÷ 2 = 62

get and will there be any left over?
57 ÷ 8
56 = 7 × 8, 57 – 56 = 1
57 ÷ 8 = 7 remainder 1
Each person will get 7 marbles and there will be 1 left over.

that means 85 ÷ 5 = 17.
Example
Anwar had 385 CDs. He put them into boxes that held 30 each.
How many full boxes did he have?
The question could be solved by repeated subtraction or simple
division.
385 – (10 × 30) = 85 and 85 – (2 × 30) = 25
So there are 12 full boxes (with 25 CDs left over).

BIDMAS
• BIDMAS is an easy way to remember the order in which
operations should be completed:
Brackets first… then Indices (powers), then Division and
Multiplication, then Addition and Subtraction
Remember
• When there are brackets, you must do the calculation within
the brackets first otherwise the answer may be incorrect. So The order in which you
(6 + 3) × 3 = 27. perform a calculation
• Without the brackets, the multiplication must be done first, so can affect the answer.
6 + 3 × 3 = 15.

Calculations 13
 Quick Test

1. In a traffic survey over three days, Samantha observed 180 vehicles in total. She recorded 45 cars
on the first day and 40 on the second day. She also saw 61 vans and lorries over the three days.
How many cars did she see on the third day?
2. Callum’s mobile phone came with 200 free texts. He has replied to 67 texts sent by friends and
has sent 49 of his own. How many of his free texts are left?
3. Sophie didn’t eat chocolate for 308 days. How many weeks was this?
4. A tray of Baxwell soup holds 12 cans. Jez stacks 252 trays on to the shelves in the supermarket.
How many cans are there altogether?
5. Insert brackets in this calculation to make it correct: 76 – 48 ÷ 12 ÷ 3 = 7

Estimating and Checking

• Rounding helps you to roughly predict an answer or to check if
a calculation is sensible.
Example
2367 + 3945 + 4210 = ?
Rounding to the nearest thousand, this becomes:
2000 + 4000 + 4000 =
The answer should be roughly 10 000.

• When you are estimating answers involving large numbers,

look for numbers that can be rounded up or down.

Example
24 × 693 + 76 × 591 = ?
Remember
A 6200 B 61 548 C 69 540 D 32 560 E 58 623 241
The numbers can be rounded to: 20 × 700 + 80 × 600 = If the question involves
Remembering BIDMAS, 14 000 + 48 000 = 62 000 making something

• Problems involving factors or multiples can be presented in

real-life situations, however the calculation is just the same.

Finding Common Multiples and Factors

• Different numbers can have factors that are the same. These
are called ‘common factors’.
• The highest common factor (HCF) is the highest number that

 Calculating Fractions of an Amount
• Use division to find a simple fraction of a given amount.
So, to find 13 of £27, divide £27 by the denominator 3.
• To find a fraction with a numerator greater than 1, you also
need to multiply. To find 23 of £27, divide £27 by 3 and multiply
by the numerator 2.
• To find out the total amount from a fraction, both division and
multiplication are needed again.

Example
If 30 grams is 35 the weight of a box of pencils, what is the total weight of the box?
You need to find out what one part ( 15 ) of the amount equals first.
So divide 30 grams by the numerator to find the value of 15 , then multiply by
the denominator to find the total weight.
30 g ÷ 3 = 10 g 10 g × 5 = 50 g

• When you calculate fractions of real-life things, a diagram

can help.

Example
If five pizzas are shared between six children, what fraction of a pizza does each child get?
Begin by working out how much of a single pizza each child would receive. To do this you need to
divide one pizza into six, i.e. one piece for each child.
You now know that a child will have 16 of a single pizza, so this makes it easier to
calculate the fraction they would receive from five pizzas.

6
× 5 = 56 , so each child will receive 56 of a pizza.

What is the probability of throwing an even number on a regular, six-sided dice?
There are six possible numbers. The denominator is 6.

Percentages
• Fractions can also be written as a decimal or a percentage.
• Decimals can be written as fractions with a denominator that is
a power of 10 (10, 100, 1000, etc.).
• To find a numerical fraction from a decimal, write it as a

• To multiply decimals, you can use your knowledge of division
by 10s, or you can use estimation.

Example
4.1 × 0.9 = ?
4.1 × 0.9 = (41 ÷ 10) × (9 ÷ 10) = 41 × 9 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 = 369 ÷ 100 =
3.69
Or
41 × 9 = 369
4.1 × 0.9 ≈ 4 × 1 = 4
So answer = 3.69

• To divide decimals, you should make the number you are

dividing by into a whole number.

Example
2.79 ÷ 0.9 = ?
Multiply both numbers by 10 (this is like equivalent fractions;
what you do to one number you must do to the other): 27.9 ÷ 9
You can now calculate the answer: 3.1

Simple Probability
• Probability is how likely that something (an ‘outcome’) will
happen.
• The probability that an outcome will happen and the
probability it will not happen always add up to 1.
• You can describe the outcome with words such as impossible,
unlikely, even chance, certain.
• You can also describe the outcome using numbers:
– Impossible is represented by 0
– Even chance is represented by 0.5
– Certain is represented by 1.
• When you flip a coin, there are two possible outcomes. The
possibility of flipping a head will be one chance in two. You
can represent this as the fraction 12 , the decimal 0.5, or the
percentage 50%.
• You can use probabilities to estimate how many times an
outcome will happen.

Calculating Probability with Fractions

• To calculate a probability when all the outcomes are equally
likely is straightforward. Simply add up the number of different
outcomes and the total will be the fraction’s denominator and
the numerator will be 1.
• When the outcomes are not equally likely, calculate them as a
numerical fraction, as follows.

Example
In a paper bag there are 4 strawberry, 3 orange, 2 lemon and
1 blackberry sweets. What is the probability of picking out a
strawberry sweet?
First you need to work out the total number of sweets. Add
together the numbers of each flavour sweet: 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10
This provides the denominator for a fraction. Then each
number of sweets provides the numerators.
4 = 2
The probability of picking a strawberry sweet is: 10 5

There are five equal sections; the probability of landing on each of
these equals 0.2.
Count the number of sections that have the number 3. There are three 3 2

• Scales are given as a ratio. A 1 : 500 ratio means that 1 centimetre
on the map represents 500 cm (or 5 metres) in real life.

Example
Gwen draws a map to show her route to school. She uses a scale of 1 : 40 000.
a) Her school is 2 km away from her house. How far will it be on the map?
2 km = 2000 m = 200 000 cm 200 000 ÷ 40 000 = 5
On the map the school will be 5 cm away.
b) Gwen has put a spot on the map where the swimming pool is. On the map the distance from
her house to the swimming pool is 8.5 cm. How far away is it in real life?
8.5 cm × 40 000 = 340 000 cm
(this isn’t very useful as it is hard to understand how far 340 000 cm is)
340 000 cm = 3400 m = 3.4 km
In real life the swimming pool is 3.4 km away.

Proportion Revision
• You can divide numbers and quantities into a given ratio.
First you need to work out how many parts there are in total.

Example
A field contains 28 llamas. These are then split between two fields in a ratio off
2 : 5. How many llamas are in each field?
To solve this problem:
– there are seven (2 + 5) equal ‘groups’ of llamas
– to find out how many in a group, divide the total number by the number er
of groups: 28 ÷ 7 = 4
– to finish the problem, multiply this figure by the number of groups on
each side of the ratio.
4×2=8 4 × 5 = 20
The number of llamas in each field is 8 and 20.

• Knowing the proportions of one quantity to another means

that if one quantity changes, you can work out the other.

Example
In a recipe you need two eggs to every 300 g of sugar. How many eggs will you
need if the recipe asks for 1200 g of sugar?
To solve this problem:
– first look for the proportions you are dealing with
2 : 300 is the ratio of eggs to sugar (in grams) ? : 1200
– you now need to work out how many times bigger 1200 is than 300: 1200 ÷ 300 = 4
– so to calculate the new quantity, multiply the original number of eggs by 4: 2 : 300 × 4
The answer is 8 eggs.

Percentage Calculations
• Some percentage calculations are quite simple if you look for
alternative methods to solve them. Using equivalents by converting
a percentage to a fraction can speed up your calculations.

Example
Find 10% of £350.
10% is the same as 1
10
So 10% of £350 equals £35.

• Working backwards can help solve some questions. In this case,

you don’t need to convert the percentage to a fraction; just
look for simple fractions.

Example
Find 75% of £350.
Find half (50%) of £350, then find half of this half (25%),
then add the two together:
£350 ÷ 2 = £175 £175 ÷ 2 = £87.50
£175 + £87.50 = £262.50

• Once you know 1% and 10%, many calculations are simple. So
5% of £451 is £45.10 ÷ 2 = £22.55

Example
Find 14% of £451.
Either multiply 14 by 1%: £4.51 × 14 = £63.14
Or add 10% and 5% and subtract 1%:
£45.10 + £22.55 – £4.51 = £63.14

• You can also use multiplication and division to solve percentage

problems when you need to find the total amount. Remember

the school, how many children are in the whole school? 50% of 560 is smaller
than 5% of 56 000:
To solve this, you still need to find 1%. If 48 children are 24% of
the school, to find 1% divide 48 by 24: 50% of 560 = 280, but
48 ÷ 24 = 2 5% of 56 000 = 2800
Then multiply this by 100: 2 × 100 = 200
So there are 200 children in the school.

 You should be able to:
• understand and use algebraic notation
• solve equations
• understand sequences and work out missing patterns or terms
• work out how many different combinations are possible in a given
situation.

Understanding Algebraic Notation

• You need to know how additions, subtractions, multiplications
and divisions are written in algebra.
• To add and subtract, write the letters as you would do for
numbers in a calculation.

Example
Adding a to b: a+b=
Subtracting a from b: b–a=

• Multiplication sums do not use signs; the numbers and letters

are written next to each other.

Example
4x is four times the value of x, so if x = 6 then:
4x = 4 × 6 = 24

• Division sums are usually shown like numerical fractions.

Example
k means the number represented by k should be divided by 10.
10
So if k = 40, then:
k = 40 = 40 ÷ 10 = 4
10 10

Using Substitution and Solving

Equations
• Substituting letters for unknown numbers helps to solve equations.

Example
8 + ? + ? = 26
There are a variety of answers that could be correct.
8 + 1 + 17 = 26 8 + 2 + 16 = 26
8 + 3 + 15 = 26 8 + 4 + 14 = 26
8 + 5 + 13 = 26 8 + 6 + 12 = 26, etc.
Using letters to replace the ?: 8 + a + a = 26
You can then work out the value of a. You will also understand
that a needs to have the same value each time it occurs within
this equation. So a = 9.

• You can solve equations in two different ways – by simplifying the

sums until you find the answer, or by using number machines. Algebra 29
 Simplifying the Sum
• To solve equations by simplifying the sum, you need to move
the numbers you know to one side of the equation, leaving the
calculations involving letters you don’t know on the other side.
• You can move a number from one side of the equation to the
other by using inverse operations.

Example Remember
k = 3s + 4
The unknown value can
If you know k = 19, you can work out the value of s:
occur more than once in
19 = 3s + 4
the equation, e.g.
19 – 4 = 3s
15 = 3s 2x + 3 = x + 7
15 ÷ 3 = s, so s = 5 (x = 4)
And the answer can be a

Then complete the operations: b = 5 change direction.

Recognising Sequences
• You need to be able to spot number sequences quickly.
• Odd and even numbers:
– Both odd and even number sequences have a difference of 2
each time.
– Even numbers are all multiples of 2.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...
• Sequences from multiplication tables:
– Equal differences indicate a repeated addition sequence.
6 12 18 24
+6 +6 +6
– Increasing differences can indicate a sequence linked by
multiplication. This pattern shows multiplication by 2.
2 4 8 16
+2 +4 +8
– Decreasing numbers can indicate repeated subtraction or
division.

• Make sure you can recognise sequences of square and cube
numbers:
Revision
Square numbers: 1 4 9 16 25 36 ...
Cube numbers: 1 8 27 64 125 216 ...
• Triangular numbers start at 1 and then add 2, 3, 4 progressively.
The differences are consecutive numbers.
1 3 6 10 15 21 ...
• Prime numbers are only divisible by 1 and themselves; there is
no pattern to them.
2 3 5 7 11 13 ...
• If the sequence is not easy to recognise, look at the differences
between the numbers. This can help to identify patterns.
7 8 11 16 23

• Look out for sequences that go backwards as well as forwards.

Completing and Extending Sequences

• First check the pattern in the sequence by looking at the
differences between your given numbers.

Example
Work out the missing number in this sequence:
8 16 ___ 32 40 48

Shape-based Patterns
• Identify what stays the same in the pattern and what changes.

Example
What is the next shape in the series?

First find the things that stay the same. Here these are the
shape and the top row.
Then find out the element that changes: one circle is added to
the bottom row each time.
So the next shape is:

Two Unknowns
• When dealing with a situation where there are two unknown
values, try to set up equations with the information that is given.
• You may be able to rule out some multiple-choice options
straight away and then test the others.

Example
James is making button pictures. Each rainbow picture he
makes uses 10 red buttons. Each fish picture he makes has 6 red
buttons. He makes p rainbow pictures and enjoys making the
fish pictures even more so makes q fish pictures. He started with
50 red buttons but only has 6 left when he is finished. Which is
the correct solution?
A p = 2, q = 1 B p = 3, q = 5 C p = 2, q = 4
D p = 3, q = 3 E p = 1, q = 6
Start by writing down the information from the question
mathematically.
q>p q is bigger than p
10p + 6q = 50 – 6 = 44
Using this information, test the answer options:
It is not A or D, because q is not bigger than p in those answers.
Try B: 10 × 3 + 6 × 5 = 60 This is not the right answer; we
want it to be 44.
Try C: 10 × 2 + 6 × 4 = 44 This is the right answer.
Try E: 10 × 1 + 6 × 6 = 46 This is close but not right – this way
he would only have 4 buttons left.
Option C is correct.

Combinations and Permutations Revision
• Combinations and permutations are all about how many
different ways a set of items can be put together.
• Often the best way to attempt these questions is to write down
one item (use a code, like the first letter, to make it easier to
do) and then all the things that could go with it. The question
will explain how the matching up can happen.

Example Sand

There are the following possible combinations:

HC CT TS SM
HT CS TM (SC = CS, SH = HS, ST = TS, so all covered)
HS CM (Tuna with either Ham or Cheese is already covered)
HM (CH = HC so is not included again)
There are 10 possible combinations.
Notice that if there are five items on the list, the first item could match with all four of the other
items. The second item matches with the three remaining items but has already been matched with
the first item, etc. So for five items to be arranged into different pairs the calculation becomes
4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10. Sometimes it might be possible to have two of the same, so in this situation you
might get HH, CC, TT, SS, MM.

• Sometimes there will be two lists so each item from one list can
go with one item from the second list.

Example

Counting up there are 16 possible combinations.

• The answer above is set out as a grid with each item from the first
list having a column and each item from the second list having a
row. This means the number of possible combinations is 4 × 4 =
16. If there were 5 sandwich filling options and 6 types of fruit,
the number of combinations would be 30. Can you see why?

matter – they are combinations. Remember
• Permutations are when the order does matter, for example the

Having got this far it is possible to spot a pattern, which

each different person in first place there are six possible
permutations for the remaining runners.
So, there are 4 × 6 = 24 permutations for the medal positions.

 You should be able to:
• understand and use measures such as money, time, temperature, speed,
length, capacity and mass (weight)
• convert between different units of measurement
• calculate the area, volume and perimeter of different shapes.

Money
• Money is measured in pounds (£) and pence (p).
• There are 100 pence in £1, so 3p written in pounds would be
represented in the hundredths column, i.e. £0.03.
• We have these coins and notes in the UK: 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p,
50p, £1, £2, £5, £10, £20, £50.
• You can make any amount of money from the coins and notes.

Example
Gareth has these coins:

He wants to buy a book that costs £2.79. What coins could be

used to pay for the book?
Using the two £1 coins leaves £0.79 or 79p to pay.
Using the 50p piece leaves 29p.
Using a 20p piece leaves 9p.
Using the 5p piece leaves 4p, which can be made using the
2p and 2 × 1p.
£2.79 = £1 + £1 + 50p + 20p + 5p + 2p + 1p + 1p

• You need to be able to calculate using money.

Example
Misa gets two 20 pence pieces for pocket money every week.
She puts them in her money box. After how many weeks will
she have more than £5?
It is easier to work in pence here:
£5 = 500p and Misa gets 40p each week.
500 ÷ 40 = 50 ÷ 4 = 25 ÷ 2 = 12.5
Now round up 12.5 to the next whole week.
So it will take 13 weeks for Misa to have more than £5 in her
money box.

are set units and prefixes (the bit at the beginning of a unit) that
tell us how big or small the unit is. Remember
• The prefixes are:
– milli- (meaning a ‘thousandth’), e.g. millimetres (mm), The three standard units
milligrams (mg), millilitres (ml) (known as SI units) are:
– centi- (meaning a ‘hundredth’), e.g. centimetres (cm), • metres (m) for length
centilitres (cl) • grams (g) for weight
– kilo- (meaning 1000 times bigger), e.g. kilometres (km), (or mass)
kilograms (kg). • litres (l) for capacity
• When multiplying or adding measures, it is sometimes more (or volume).

Reading Scales
• When reading scales, first establish what each division stands for:
– count the gaps (not the lines!) in between the numbers
given on the scale
– subtract the two numbers from each other
– divide the result by the number of gaps.
Example
3 4
What is the reading shown on these weighing scales?
2 5

To work out the scale: 1 6

– first look at the larger divisions, e.g. 4–5 kg
– subtract the smaller from the larger: 1 kg 0 7
– divide this by the number of spaces, making sure kg
you know the units you are using.
So: 1 kg ÷ 5 = 0.2 kg or 1000 g ÷ 5 = 200 g
The value indicated on the scale is 4.2 kg or 4 kg 200 g.

Perimeter and Circumference

• The perimeter is the distance around the outside of a 2D shape Remember
(like fencing around the edge of a garden).
Knowing the properties
Example of 2D shapes will
A regular pentagon has a perimeter of 65 cm. What is the length of help solve perimeter
one side? problems.

A pentagon has five sides, so to find the length of one side divide
the total perimeter by 5.
65 cm ÷ 5 = 13 cm

• If you are given measurements in different units (such as

centimetres and metres), change them so that they are the
same before you start your calculations.

Example
Find the perimeter of the shape shown right. 0.8 m

First convert all the measurement to centimetres: 0.4 m

a
40 cm 80 cm 75 cm 35 cm 75 cm
Then calculate the measurements of a and b. b
To find a: 80 cm – 35 cm = 45 cm
To find b: 75 cm – 40 cm = 35 cm 35 cm

Now add together all the measurements to find the total perimeter:
40 cm + 80 cm + 75 cm + 35 cm + 35 cm + 45 cm = 310 cm

• The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference (C).

• The circumference can be calculated using the formula:
C = π × 2 × radius, or equivalently, C = π × diameter
• The diameter of a circle is twice its radius.

• The value of π (Greek letter ‘pi’) is slightly more than 3 and it
stays the same whatever the size of the circle.

Example
A builder is tiling a kitchen floor using tiles that are 20 cm by 30 cm. Boxes of tiles cost £32 each and
contain 25 tiles. The kitchen floor is a rectangle measuring 2 m by 3.5 m. How much will it cost to
buy enough tiles for the kitchen floor?

Answer planning: What is the area of the kitchen floor? (Area of rectangle: l × w)
How many m2 does each box of tiles cover? (Remember to convert into m)
How many boxes are needed? (Divide floor by area from a box, round up)
How much will that cost? (Multiply the number of boxes by 32)
Area of kitchen floor = 2 × 3.5 = 7 m2
A tile is 0.2 × 0.3 = 0.06 m2
A box of tiles covers 0.06 × 25 = 1.5 m2
How many boxes? 7 ÷ 1.5 = 4 remainder 1
This means you need more than 4 boxes, so 5 boxes need to be bought.
How much will the tiles cost? 5 × 32 = £160

Cara has a long piece of rope. She wraps it
around two identical posts that are stuck in
the ground, as shown in the diagram. When it
has gone around the posts five times, the
remaining rope measures 55 cm. How long is the rope?
45 mm
First convert everything into metres:
45 mm = 0.045 m 55 cm = 0.55 m
For one time around the posts:
2.1 + 0.045 + 2.1 + 0.045 = 4.29 m of rope
Five times around the posts = 4.29 × 5
= 42.9 ÷ 2 = 21.45 m
Total length of rope = 21.45 + 0.55 = 22 m

3D Shapes vertices Revision
• 3D shapes are solid shapes with three
dimensions (width, length and height). edges
faces
They usually have flat faces, straight
edges and pointed vertices.
• Two of the most common 3D shapes are:
– prisms: if you imagine slicing prisms like a loaf of bread, the
faces remain the same shape and size
– pyramids: these come to a point at the top, and if you slice
them, the face stays the same shape but becomes smaller
nearer to the top.
• Note that a hemisphere is a sphere cut in half, so it has one
edge and two faces (one curved and one flat).
• The properties of some common 3D shapes are:

 Unknown Angles in Shapes
Angles in Triangles
• The interior angles of a triangle always add up to 180°. This Remember
means you can work out unknown angles.
• If a triangle contains a right angle and you know one of the Angles marked with
other angles, you can find the third angle. a square, rather than
• Isosceles triangles have two equal sides (often marked with a an arc, indicate a right
single line through them) and therefore two equal angles. angle.

Example
Work out the value of the angle x.
Angles in a triangle sum to 180°. x
The two base angles of this isosceles triangle both equal 43°.
43º 43º
43° × 2 = 86°
So x = 180 – 86 = 94°

Angles in Quadrilaterals
• The interior angles of a quadrilateral always add up to 360°.
• Particular types of quadrilateral have extra properties: Remember
– Squares and rectangles have four equal angles of 90°.
A parallelogram is a
– Parallelograms and rhombuses have two pairs of opposite

and a rhombus is a

out the other three.
• Kites have two opposite angles that are equal.

Example
a
In this kite, angle a is 90°and angle b is 100°.
b c
Work out the values of angles c and d.
Angle c must be the same as b, so c = 100°
And therefore d = 360 – (90 + 100 + 100) = 70° d

• When two shapes are joined together, use your knowledge of

2D shapes to help you work out the angles.

Example
If angle a = 52° and angle b = 43°, work out all of the other angles. e f
b
Because angles a, b and c form a triangle: c = 180° – (43° + 52°) = 85°
We know c + d = 180° (point on a straight line) so: d = 180° – 85° = 95° a c d g

As angles d, e, f, g form a rhombus, f = d, so: e + g = 360° – (95° + 95°) = 170°

Angles e and g are also equal so: e = g = 170° ÷ 2 = 85°

Symmetry, Reflection and Rotation Revision
• A line of symmetry is often represented by a dashed line.
• In the lettering shown (right), A, C, D and T all have one line
of symmetry. F has no lines of symmetry and O and H have two
lines of symmetry. If the O was written as a perfect circle, it
would have an infinite number of symmetry lines.
• Reflection is where a shape is formed using a line of symmetry
as the ‘mirror line’.

Example
Reflect each shape in the dashed line:

Diagonal lines tend to be a bit trickier to see how the shape will
behave.

Remember
• Rotational symmetry is where the object can be placed in
different positions, by rotating it, but still appear the same. You can think of
rotational symmetry
Example
like a child’s wooden
jigsaw where the shape
could fit in the hole
in different ways. The

how the shape is being rotated). 360°.

Nets and 3D Spatial Reasoning

• A net is an ‘unfolded’ shape. A net can be folded in different Remember
ways to make a 3D shape.
All of the shapes in a
net form the faces of
the shape. The net of a
cube will be made of six
identical squares.

Cylinder A cylinder net is two circles for the ends and

a rectangle which forms the tube part.

Pyramid

• You may need to use your imagination to move around a 3D object

and think about what it would look like from different sides.

Example
Toby makes the building (shown right) out of toy blocks.
The image shows the front of his building.
Which picture shows the back of Toby’s building?

Compass Directions
• A compass is split into four main directions: North (N), South (S),
East (E) and West (W).
• From any point, you can use a compass to define which way you
are facing. If you face North and then turn 90° to your right

48 11+ Maths
 (clockwise), you will be facing East. Turn another 90° to the
right and you will be facing South, and so on.
Revision
• Make sure you know the intermediate directions of North-East
(NE), South-East (SE), South-West (SW) and North-West (NW).
• When facing North, a turn of 45° anti-clockwise turns you to NW.

Example N
Carla is facing North-West and then turns anti-clockwise through 135°.
Which compass direction is she facing now? NW NE

Drawing the compass points can be helpful. 135° = 90° + 45°

W E
From NW, turning 135° anti-clockwise will take her to South.

 You should be able to:
• read information from a range of statistical charts and graphs
• use the information given to find missing values or carry out calculations
• work out the average from a set of data.

Two-way Tables
• A two-way table shows information that relates to two
different categories. You should be able to understand the
information shown and be able to work out any missing values.
Example
Ashish’s mum is placing an order for his school photo. There are four different photo packs
available and she has started completing the order form:
Price Quantity Total
Pack 1 £6.00
Pack 2 £8.50 0 £0
Pack 3 £13.50 1 £13.50
Pack 4 £18.50 1 £18.50
Postage £1.75
Total £51.75

Ashish’s mum still needs to fill in the row for Pack 1 but she will spend a total of £51.75, including
£1.75 postage. How many lots of Pack 1 is Ashish’s mum ordering?
First work out the cost of the packs ordered so far, plus the postage:
£13.50 + £18.50 + £1.75 = £33.75
Subtract this cost from the total: £51.75 – £33.75 = £18.00
The cost of each Pack 1 ordered is £6.00, so: £18.00 ÷ 6 = 3
She must be ordering 3 lots of Pack 1.

Distance Charts
• These charts show the distance between any places on the chart. To
find a distance, read down from one place and across to the other.
Example
Look at this distance chart. How far is it from Longwell to Streetbridge?
Teeford
390 km Longwell
245 km 296 km Redham
147 km 140 km 170 km Streetbridge
331 km 121 km 113 km 31 km Octon

Follow the Longwell column down until you reach the Streetbridge row. The answer is 140 km.

Statistics 51
Pictograms
• Pictograms use small pictures or symbols to show amounts.
• Make sure you check what each small picture or symbol
represents.

Example
This pictogram shows the number of children from classes

Line Graphs Revision
• Line graphs can represent two different types of information:
time-based data and conversion data.
• Time-based graphs show what happens to a measurement over
time. It is important to check the time units when answering
questions.
• The steepness of the line graph represents the rate of the
change; a steep line shows a greater rate of change than a less
steep line.

Example
Hours of Sunshine
Look at this line graph showing hours of sunshine in a village 10
over the course of one week. How many days had 7 hours or
8
more of sunshine?

Time (hours)
For each day of the week, read straight up from the horizontal 6
axis until you reach the line. Then read across to find the
4
number of hours of sunshine for that day:
Monday: 5 hours of sunshine; Tuesday: 6 hours; Wednesday: 2

5 hours; Thursday: 7 hours; Friday: 8 hours; Saturday: 8 hours; 0

Sunday: 6 hours M T W T F S S
Days of the week
So three days of the week (Thursday, Friday and Saturday) had
7 hours or more of sunshine.

• Conversion graphs show relationships between amounts and

how they compare in proportion. It is important to check the
scale on both the x-axis and the y-axis. Remember

Example Harder questions may

• The size of each segment of the circle represents the fraction of
the whole. When comparing

circle when working out proportions
– find the number the pie represents.
Dark brown is the most common hair colour in this group
and the dark brown segment represents 1 of the parents.
4
If there are 16 parents in total, then four of them have dark
brown hair.

Venn Diagrams
• Venn diagrams show the relationships between data.
• Each circle represents a particular piece of information.
• Overlapping circles show where two more pieces of information
share a common feature.

Sorting Diagrams Revision
• Sorting diagrams are used to sort objects or numbers into a grid
– similar to a two-way table – depending on their properties.

Example
Look at this sorting diagram for numbers up to 30. It is not
fully completed.

Even numbers Odd numbers

Prime numbers 2 3 5 7 11 13
17 19 23 29
Square numbers ? 1 9 25

Find a number which could be placed in the part of the

diagram marked ‘?’
A 27 B 10 C 12 D 16 E 28
The answer must be both an even number and a square number. We can therefore rule out option
A straight away, since it is an odd number. All the other options are even numbers but only one is a
square number, i.e. 16. So the correct answer is D.

Average (Mean) Remember

• The average, or the mean, is the sum of all the values divided
by the number of values. The mean can also be a fraction.
• So the mean of the numbers 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8 is: If the number of children in five
2+4+4+4+5+5+6+7+8

0.6 of a child for real!)

Example
Romesh bought some apples while shopping at a supermarket.
He bought two packs of six apples which each cost £1.20. He
also bought three single apples which cost 30p each. What
was the average cost of each apple that Romesh bought?
First work out how many apples Romesh bought and how
much he spent in total on them:
He bought two packs of six and three single apples, so
6 + 6 + 3 = 15 apples in total
Two packs at a price of £1.20 each: 2 × £1.20 = £2.40
Three single apples at a price of 30p each: 3 × £0.30 = £0.90
Total spent on apples: £2.40 + £0.90 =
£3.30 (or 330p)
To work out the average cost, divide the total cost by the number of apples bought:
330 ÷ 15 = 22p per apple

Statistics 55
Averages from Frequency Tables
• Frequency tables often cause confusion. You need to remember
that the frequency tells you how many numbers or data items
there are altogether.

Example
This table shows the results of a survey of shoe sizes among children at a tennis club:

Shoe size 1 2 3 4 5
Frequency 2 1 6 1 2

What is the average shoe size among these children?

Write out the frequency line again, splitting this into the number of children with each shoe size.
The frequency total is 12, so there are 12 children.

Frequency 1, 1 2 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 4 5, 5

Use the new table to work out the mean:

1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 5 = 36
36 ÷ 12 = 3
The average shoe size is 3.

Convert both measurements to cm.
4 feet is 4 × 12 = 48 inches, so 4 feet
and 10 inches is 58 inches, which is
approximately 58 × 2.5 = 145 cm. 1.53 m

153 – 145 = 8 cm taller.
43. C
The area to be covered is (3 m × 6 m) –
(1 m × 4 m) = 14 m2. Each roll of turf
covers 0.5 m2 so she will need 28 rolls.
A good estimate is 28 × £3 = £84
