Includes tasks on standard and decimal form, ratios, fractions and percentages, significant figures, means, sampling principles, probability and descriptive statistics, scatter diagrams and correlation, algebraic symbols and rearranging equations, substitutions with units, and linear graph interpretation (y = mx + c), gradients and intercepts. Also features percentage change, unit conversions, order-of-magnitude work, and interpreting speed–time and other scientific graphs.","The Mathematics in GCSE Science  \n| Mathematical Skill |\n| --- |\n| 1.
