  • Express numbers in standard form.
  • Multiply and divide negative numbers.

2. Be able to make and apply calculations relevant to business.

  • Compare numbers using ratios, proportions and percentages in a business context.
  • Approximate data using rounding, significant figures.
  • Obtain values for simple financial transactions involving purchases, wages, taxation, discounts.

  • Convert foreign currency.
  • Make calculations using a scientific calculator including roots and powers; logarithms and exponential values.
  • Interpret, transpose and evaluate formulae.
  • Evaluate terms involving a sequence of operations and use of brackets.

3. Be able to use algebraic methods to solve business problems.

  • Solve linear and simultaneous equations.
  • Solve quadratic equations using factorisation and formulae.
  • Solve and simplify equations using roots or logarithms.
  • Determine the equation of a straight line through two points and also when given one point and its gradient.
  • Determine the gradient and intercepts on the x or y axes for a straight line.

4. Be able to construct and use graphs, charts and diagrams in a business context.

  • Draw charts and diagrams derived from tabular data: e.g. bar charts, pie charts, scatter diagrams.

  • Recognise and use the sigma notation for summation.

6. Understand and be able to apply the laws of probability to find solutions to business problems.

  • Recognise outcomes which are equally likely, not equally likely or subjective.
  • Use appropriate formulae to determine probabilities for complementary, mutually exclusive, independent and conditional events.
  • Determine probabilities, using a sample space, two way table or tree diagram.
  • Use probabilities to calculate the expected value of an outcome.
  • Determine probabilities using the normal distribution, by making use of standard normal distribution tables.
  • Represent normal probabilities as areas under the standard normal distribution curve.
