## ISEE Lower LevelMath Cheat Sheet

### Fractions

A number expressed in the form $$\frac{a}{b}$$
Adding and Subtracting with the same denominator:
$$\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{b}=\frac{a+c}{b}$$
$$\frac{a}{b}-\frac{c}{b}=\frac{a-c}{b}$$
Adding and Subtracting with the different denominator:
$$\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad+cb}{bd}$$
$$\frac{a}{b}-\frac{c}{d}=\frac{ad-cb}{bd}$$
Multiplying and Dividing Fractions:
$$\frac{a}{b} × \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a×c}{b×d}$$
$$\frac{a}{b} ÷ \frac{c}{d}=\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=\frac{ad}{bc}$$

### Decimals

Is a fraction written in a special form. For example, instead of writing  $$\frac{1}{2}$$ you can write $$0.5$$.

### Mixed Numbers

A number composed of a whole number and fraction. Example: $$2 \frac{2}{ 3}$$ Converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers: $$a \frac{c}{b}=a+\frac{c}{b}= \frac{ab+ c}{b}$$

### Factoring Numbers

Factor a number means to break it up into numbers that can be multiplied together to get the original number. Example:$$12=2×2×3$$

### Integers

$$\{…,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,…\}$$
Includes: zero, counting numbers, and the negative of the counting numbers

### Order of Operations

PEMDAS
(parentheses / exponents / multiply / divide / add / subtract)

### Ratios

A ratio is a comparison of two numbers by division. Example: $$3 : 5$$, or $$\frac{3}{5}$$

### Percentages

Use the following formula to find part, whole, or percent
part $$=\frac{percent}{100}×whole$$

### Proportional Ratios

A proportion means that two ratios are equal. It can be written in two ways:
$$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}$$ , $$a: b = c: d$$

### Percent of Change

$$\frac{New \ Value \ – \ Old \ Value}{Old Value}×100\%$$

### Expressions and Variables

A variable is a letter that represents unspecified numbers. One may use a variable in the same manner as all other numbers: Addition: $$2+a$$  : $$2$$ plus a
Subtraction: $$y-3$$  : $$y$$ minus $$3$$
Division: $$\frac{4}{x}$$  : 4 divided by $$x$$
Multiplication: $$5a$$  : $$5$$ times a

### Distributive Property

$$a(b+c)=ab+ac$$

### Equations

The values of two mathematical expressions are equal.
$$ax+b=c$$

### Parallel and Perpendicular lines:

Parallel lines have equal slopes. Perpendicular lines (i.e., those that make a $$90^°$$ angle where they intersect) have negative reciprocal slopes: $$m_{1}$$ .$$m_{2}=-1$$.
Parallel Lines (l $$\parallel$$ m)

### Equilateral:

These triangles have three equal sides, and all three angles are $$60^\circ$$.

### Isosceles:

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides. The “base” angles (the ones opposite the two sides) are equal (see the $$45^\circ$$  triangle above).

(Square if l=w)
Area=lw

### Parallelogram

(Rhombus if l=w)
Area=lh
Regular polygons are n-sided figures with all sides equal and all angles equal.
The sum of the inside angles of an n-sided regular polygon is
$$(n-2) .180^\circ$$.

### mean:

mean: $$\frac{sum \ of \ the \ data}{of \ data \ entires}$$

### mode:

value in the list that appears most often

### Average

$$\frac{sum \ of \ terms}{number \ of \ terms}$$
