A prime number is a number greater than 1 with exactly two factors: 1 and itself (like 2, 3, 5).

The number 1 only has one factor, so it’s not prime.
Composite numbers have more than two factors (like 4 or 6).

If 1 were prime, it would break the rule that every number has one unique prime factorisation - maths would get messy.

Simple rules, big reasons ✨

Ever wondered why something so basic like 1 doesn’t quite belong? 🤔

Example:
Solve 48 × 25

In maths, there is often more than one correct way to solve a problem.

Method 1 - Traditional multiplication
Method 2 - Break it apart:
48 × 25 = (50 × 25) - (2 × 25)
Method 3 - Use fractions:
25 = 100 ÷ 4
So:
48 × 25 = 4800 ÷ 4 = 1200

Why is this important?

Because strong maths students don’t just memorise steps - they understand patterns and choose the method that makes the most sense.

When students learn multiple strategies, they become:
1. faster
2. more confident
3. better at problem-solving

Maths is not about memorising one path.
It’s about learning how to think.

In the British system, most final grades come from standardized exams, not just teacher opinion. Clear marking schemes and criteria are used, so students know exactly what is expected to get each grade.

Exams are often checked by external examiners, which reduces bias and keeps results consistent across different schools.

It’s not about “who likes you more” - it’s about how well you meet the set criteria.

Here’s what really works:

✅ Practice speaking every day - even a few minutes counts
✅ Use new words in sentences - don’t just memorize them
✅ Listen and repeat - mimic how native speakers speak
✅ Don’t fear mistakes - errors are part of learning

The more you use English, the faster you improve!

Save it 🙌

To multiply by 5, multiply by 10 and then halve it.

Example:
36 × 5 = (36 × 10) ÷ 2 = 180
