Notation, vocabulary and manipulation key terms

algebraic notation

algebraic notation is a method cue for Algebraic notation. Use it when working on "[Foundation and Higher] Use and interpret algebraic notation for products, powers, division, fractional coefficients and brackets." and state the specific calculation, notation, or reasoning role it plays rather than treating it as a loose label.

formulae

formulae is a method cue for Substitution. Use it when working on "[Foundation and Higher] Substitute numerical values into formulae and expressions, including scientific formulae supplied in a question." and state the specific calculation, notation, or reasoning role it plays rather than treating it as a loose label.

expression

expression is a method cue for Algebraic vocabulary. Use it when working on "[Foundation and Higher] Understand and use algebraic vocabulary for expressions, equations, formulae, inequalities, terms and factors." and state the specific calculation, notation, or reasoning role it plays rather than treating it as a loose label.

higher

higher is a method cue for Algebraic vocabulary. Use it when working on "[Higher only] Include identities within algebraic vocabulary and reasoning." and state the specific calculation, notation, or reasoning role it plays rather than treating it as a loose label.

simplify

simplify is a method cue for Manipulating expressions. Use it when working on "[Foundation and Higher] Simplify and manipulate algebraic expressions by collecting like terms, expanding a single term over a bracket, taking out common factors and using index laws." and state the specific calculation, notation, or reasoning role it plays rather than treating it as a loose label.

expand

expand is a method cue for Manipulating expressions. Use it when working on "[Foundation and Higher] Expand products of two binomials and factorise quadratics of the form x^2 + bx + c where appropriate." and state the specific calculation, notation, or reasoning role it plays rather than treating it as a loose label.

expand

expand is a method cue for Manipulating expressions. Use it when working on "[Higher only] Manipulate expressions involving surds and algebraic fractions, expand products of two or more binomials and factorise quadratics of the form ax^2 + bx + c." and state the specific calculation, notation, or reasoning role it plays rather than treating it as a loose label.

formula

formula is a method cue for Formulae and rearranging. Use it when working on "[Foundation and Higher] Understand and use standard mathematical formulae, including formulae written in words and symbols." and state the specific calculation, notation, or reasoning role it plays rather than treating it as a loose label.

formula

formula is a method cue for Formulae and rearranging. Use it when working on "[Foundation and Higher] Rearrange formulae to change the subject." and state the specific calculation, notation, or reasoning role it plays rather than treating it as a loose label.

equation

argument

argument is a method cue for Identities and algebraic proof. Use it when working on "[Foundation and Higher] Use algebra to show that expressions are equivalent and to support or construct mathematical arguments." and state the specific calculation, notation, or reasoning role it plays rather than treating it as a loose label.

proof

proof is a method cue for Identities and algebraic proof. Use it when working on "[Higher only] Construct algebraic proofs where required." and state the specific calculation, notation, or reasoning role it plays rather than treating it as a loose label.

function
