Zero and negative indices drillEvaluate and rewrite expressions that include a⁰ and a^{−n}.Algebraic Manipulation· Ms ChuMCQ62
Linking indices to scientific notationMove between ordinary form and a×10ⁿ using index laws.Algebraic Manipulation· Mr YipMCQ63
Simplifying simple algebraic fractionsCancel common factors only — never cancel terms across a plus sign.Algebraic Manipulation· Mr ChanMCQ64
Identity or equation?Decide whether an equality is true for all values or only some values.Algebraic Manipulation· Ms LamMCQ65
Linear equations with bracketsExpand, collect unknowns, and solve with clear balancing steps.Equations & Inequalities· Mr NgMCQ66
Linear equations with fractionsClear denominators by multiplying through by the LCM.Equations & Inequalities· Ms ChuMCQ67
Forming equations from word problemsTranslate sentences into a single linear equation before solving.Equations & Inequalities· Mr YipMCQ68
Elimination with multiplied equationsScale both equations so one variable cancels cleanly.Equations & Inequalities· Mr ChanMCQ69
Substitution with rearranged subjectsMake one variable the subject then substitute into the second equation.Equations & Inequalities· Ms LamMCQ70
Inequalities with bracketsExpand inequalities carefully and flip only when multiplying by a negative.Equations & Inequalities· Mr NgMCQ71
Showing inequality solutions on a number lineUse open and closed circles correctly for <, >, ≤ and ≥.Equations & Inequalities· Ms ChuMCQ72
Integer solutions of inequalitiesList integer solutions and find largest or smallest integers that work.Equations & Inequalities· Mr YipMCQ73
Changing subject when the formula has fractionsClear denominators before isolating the new subject.Equations & Inequalities· Mr ChanMCQ74
Changing subject with powers and rootsUndo squares and cubes with roots, keeping context signs in mind.Equations & Inequalities· Ms LamMCQ75
