  • Whole-number addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
  • Decimals, money calculations, and percentage change
  • Fractions, simplification, and fraction operations
  • Basic algebra, formula substitution, and simple rearranging
  • Electrical maths such as Ohm’s Law, power, and resistance
