How to Solve: Pyraminx Notation

Okay, so you want to learn the correct notations for the Pyraminx. The Pyraminx is an extremely easy to puzzle to solve and doesn't use the same complex notations as larger puzzles. 

In the images below the part of the puzzle that is greyed out is the part of the puzzle which does not move. The pieces in colour are the pieces that we will rotate.
