Counting strategies (AQA GCSE Maths): Flashcards

Systematic methods to find all combinations or arrangements

Following an organized approach, not listing randomly

Identify the categories or positions you're working with

6 possible combinations

9 combinations ($3 imes 3 = 9$)

$4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10$ matches

Partial marks for correct method even if answer is wrong

Use systematic order; each combination appears only once

Multiple categories, tournaments, 'how many ways' questions

Be systematic, not random
