The formulas and model-method moves that actually come up across P6 Math topics, on one page. Print it, stick it on the wall.
Check for "left over" wording (subtraction) vs "altogether"/"in total" (addition) — the most common misread in word problems.
"Of" almost always means multiply. Draw the whole as one bar model and shade the fraction before doing arithmetic.
For money problems, work in cents first if the numbers feel awkward, then convert back to dollars at the end.
"Percentage more/less than" changes the base — always re-check what 100% refers to in that specific sentence.
Convert ratio to "units" first, find the value of 1 unit, then scale up — this single move solves most ratio word problems.
Keep units consistent (all in hours or all in minutes) before dividing — the single biggest source of wrong answers here.
Always write the unit (m², cm³) in the final answer — a bare number is marked wrong even if the value is right.
Read the table or graph's axis labels and units carefully before pulling any number into a calculation.
