NUMBER
1.1 ARITHMETIC In this topic you learn about the four rules which are addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication that involves decimals, fractions, and the combination of fractions and decimals. Also involving word problems related to arithmetic. DECIMALS Example: Evaluate: 1) 1.5 + 15 4) 5.6 : 0.0002 2) 0.75 : 0.1 5) 3.2 x 0.25 3) 15.6 2.4 6) A Maths teacher bought 45 books at $4.5 each and a number of calculators costing $3.05 each. If he spends $239.1 then how many calculators does he buy? FRACTIONS Common fractions are added or subtracted from one another directly when they have common denominator When ordering some fractions make their denominators same first before comparing. Evaluate:
3 2 + = 5 3 4 1 b) 4 2 = 7 2 a) 1 2 x = 3 3 2 1 d) 1 : = 3 2

c) 4

REMEMBER the order of operations follows the BODMAS rule: Brackets Powers Divide Multiply Add DECIMALS AND FRACTIONS A decimal is simply a fraction expressed in tenths, hundredths, etc Example: Change
3 to decimal and 0.45 to a fraction 5

Subtract

1.2 NUMBER FACTS AND SEQUENCES Number facts An integer is a whole number, ex: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, A prime number is divisible only by itself and by 1. The multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, 8. A square number is the result of multiplying a number by itself Example: 5 x 5 = 25 so 25 is a square number A cube number is the result of multiplying a number by itself three times Example: 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 so 8 is a cube number Rational and irrational numbers A rational number can always be written in the form numbers. Example:
2 5 2 5 7
a where a and b are whole b

An irrational number cannot be written in the form

Example: 14 , , 3 5 In general n is irrational unless n is a square number. Sequences, the nth term Sequence is a serial numbers that follow a pattern Example: 2, 5, 8, 11, 5, 10, 15, 20, Finding the nth term a) In an arithmetic sequence the difference between successive terms is always the same number Examples: 4, 9, 14, 19, The expression for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is always of the form an + b b) Geometric sequence The quotient between successive terms is always the same number Example: 4, 8, 16, 32, 1.3 APPROXIMATIONS AND ESTIMATION Significant figures Example: 5.12540 has 5 significant figures Decimal places 5.12540 = 5.13 to two decimal places Nearest whole number 5.12540 = 5 to the nearest whole number Measurements and bounds 1.4 STANDARD FORM 1.5 RATIO AND PROPORTION 1.6 PERCENTAGES 1.7 SPEED, DISTANCE, AND TIME 1.8 CALCULATOR 1.9
