Edexcel Foundation Paper 2 - "Best Guess"NumberFind the Lowest common multiple (LCM) and Highest common factor (HCF) of two numbersWrite as number as a product of primesOrder fractions, decimals and percentages Convert between fractions, decimals and percentagesExpress a given number as a percentage of another numberSolve a ratio problem in contextRound to a given number of decimal places and given powers of 10 and 1 significant figuresEstimate answers to calculationsEnter a range of calculations on a calculator

AlgebraSelect an expression/equation/formula from a listUse simple instances of index lawsSolve linear equations which include brackets, those that have negative signs occurring anywhere in the equation, and those with a negative solutionChange the subject of a formulaSolve simple linear inequalities in one variable, and represent the solution set on a number lineUse systematic trial and improvementFind the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segmentPythagoras including calculate the length of a line segment Plot and draw graphs of straight lines of the form y = mx + cFind the gradient of a straight line from a graphInterpret straight-line graphs for real-life situations such as conversion graphs distance-time graphs, and fixed charge (standing charge) and cost per unit

Shape and MeasuresUse the sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is 360o

Understand tessellations of regular and irregular polygonsExplain why some shapes tessellate and why other shapes do notKnow the terms face, edge and vertexUnderstand and draw front and side elevations and plans of shapes made from simple solidsGiven the front and side elevations and the plan of a solid, draw a sketch of the 3-D solidFind the perimeters and areas of circles, semicircles and quarter circlesFind the volume of a prism, including a triangular prism and cylinderUse and interpret maps and scale drawingsConvert between metric and imperial unitsUse three figure-bearings to specify directionGiven the bearing of point A from point B, work out the bearing of B from AUnderstand and use compound measures including speedMeasure and draw angles, to the nearest degree

Handling DataEstimate the mean from a frequency table Estimate the mean of grouped data using the mid-interval valueDraw Frequency PolygonsDraw Stem and Leaf DiagramsDraw Scatter GraphsDistinguish between positive, negative and zero correlation using lines of best fitUse a line of best fit to predict values of one variable given values of the other variableInterpret scatter graphs in terms of the relationship between two variablesUnderstand that correlation does not imply causality

ProbabilityFind the probability of an event happening using relative frequencyEstimate the number of times an event will occur, given the probability and number of trialsList all outcomes for two successive events systematicallyIdentify different mutually exclusive outcomes and know that the sum of the probabilities of all these outcomes is 1Use 1 − p as the probability of an event not occurring where p is the probability of it occurring
