INTRODUCTION
Many thousands year ago, people knew only small numbers. Gradually,
they learnt how to handle large numbers. They also learnt how to express large
numbers in symbols. Numbers help us count concrete objects. We have added,
subtracted, multipled and divided them. We also looked for patterns in number
sequences and done many other interesting things with numbers.
Gives two numbers, one with more digits is the greater number. If the num-
ber of digits in two given numbers is the same, that number is large, which has a
greater left most digit. If this digit also happens to be the same we look at the next
digit and so on. The smallest four digit number is 1000 (one thousand). It follows
the largest three digit number 999. Similarly, the smallest five digit number is 10,000.
It is ten thousand and follows the largest four digit number 9999. We observe that
greatest 3-digit number + 1 = smallest 4-digit number.
Remember kilo shows 1000 times larger, Centi shows 100 times smaller
and milli shows 1000 times smaller,
thus, 1 kilometre = 1000 metres,
1 metre = 100 centimetres or 1000 milimetres,
1 litre = 1000 mililitres, 7
1 gram = 1000 miligram.
Ascending order means arrangement from the smallest to the greatest.
Descending order means arrangement from the greatest to the smallest.

Large Number
LAKvKv If we add one more to the greatest 6-digit number we get the small-
est 7-digit number. It is called ten lakh. The smallest 8-digit number is
called one crore.
1 lakh = 100 thousands = 1000 hundreds
1 crore = 100 lakhs = 10000 thousands
Estimatin
Estimation involves approximating a quantity to an accuracy required. Thus
4117 may be approximated to 4100 or to 4000 i.e. the nearest hundred or to the
nerest thousand depending on our need. Estimating the outcome of number operations
is useful in checking answers.
Roman Numbers
We have been using the Hindu - Arabic numeral system so far. This is not
the only system available. One of the early system of writting numerals is the system
of Roman numerals. This system is still used in many places. For example, the use
of Roman numerals in clocks. It is also used for classes in the school time table etc.
I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X
denote 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 respectively

Whole Numbers
The collection of the counting numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ........ etc. are called natural
numbers. We denote set of natural numbers as “N”.
∴ N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...................}
Whole Numbers
The collection of natural numbers together with “0” (zero) are called whole
numbers. We denote set of whole numbers as “W”.
∴ W = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...................}

Integers
Introduction :
Integers do not include fratcions or decimals. If we call 5 bananas or 10 cows,
all numbers expressed in this way are integers. We cannot express the number of
students in a class in fraction. Integers are include zero, positive and negative.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
Integers :
Integers are those numbers which have no fractional or decimal part. Integers
are of two types - (i) Positive integers : 1, 2, 3, .......... etc. are positive integers and
(ii) Negative integers : -1, -2, -3, .......... etc. are negative integers. 0 (zero) is
neither positive nor a negative integer.
Natural Numbers :
1, 2, 3, ........... etc. are called natural numbers.
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
Numbers to the right of zero are positive integers and numbers to the left of
zero are negative integers.
Mathematics Workbook: Class-VI
Rule of addition :
i) Sum of two positive integers is positive and sum of two negative integers
is negative. Example : (+7) + (+13) = +20 = 20
(-12) + (-13) = - 25
ii) When a positive integer and a negative integer are added, smaller num-
ber with numerical value is subtracted from the greater number with numerical
value and put the sign of number with greater numerical value before the result.
Example : (-5) + (+7) = +2 = 2
(-12) + (+3) = -9
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
(+7) + (-3) = 4
We can subtract two numbers on a number line. 3 steps
Example : 6 - (+2) = 4 6 steps

A fraction is a number representing a part of a whole. The whole may be a
single object or a group of objects.

Decimals
Decimal fraction
A fraction whose denominator is a power of ten i.e. 10, 100, 1000 .........
etc. is called decimal fraction.
The numbers expressed in decimal form are called decimal number. A
decimal number can be defined as a number whose whole number part and the
fractional part are separated by a dot(.) which is known as decimal point.
e.g. In the number 13.49, 13 is the whole number part and .49 is the
fractional part.
A decimal number can be expressed in the place value table as

Comparing Decimals
Suppose we have to compare two decimals. At first compare the whole
parts of the given numbers. The number with smaller whole part will be smaller and
Decimals
e.g.
17 = 1.7, 1234 = 12.34, 3002 = 3.002
10 100 1000
If the denominator of the fractions are not power of 10, then we convert
the fraction to an equivalent fraction with denominator 10 or 100 or 1000 etc.
5 5x5 25
e.g.
2 = 2 x 5 = 10 = 2.5
Decimals
3 3 x 125 375
8 = 8 x 125 = 1000 = 0.375
Things to remember
1. All decimals can be represented on a number line. 59
2. Putting any number of zeros to the extreme right of the decimal part of a decimal
does not change its value.
3. Every decimal can be written as a fraction.

4. Measurement of length
10 milimetres (mm) = 1 centimetre (cm)
10 centimetres (cm) = 1 decimetre (dm)
10 decimetres (dm) = 1 metre (m)
10 metres (m) = 1 decametre (dam)
10 decametres (dam) = 1 hactometre (hm)
10 hectometres (hm) = 1 kilometre (km)
1 m = 1000 mm, 1 mm = 0.001 m
1 m = 100 cm, 1 cm = 0.01 m
1 km = 1000 m, 1m = 0.001 km
5. Measurement of weight
1 gram (g) = 1000 miligram (mg)
... 1 mg = 0.001 g
1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 gram (g)
1 g = 0.001 kg
6. Measurement of capacity
1 litre (l) = 1000 mililitre (ml)
1 ml = 0.001 l
1 kilolitre (kl) = 1000 litre (l)
1 l = 0.001 kl

Mensuration
** Example : Find the perimeter of a rectangle whose length and breadth are 15.4
cm and 11.6 cm respectively.
Solution : Length of the rectangle = 15.4 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 11.6 cm
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (l + b) units
= 2 (15.4 + 11.6) cm
= (2 x 27) cm
= 54 cm
Hence, the perimeter of the rectangle is 54 cm.
** Example : The cost of fencing a square field at R 125 per meter is R 8000. Find
the length of each side of the field.
Solution : Total cost of fencing = R 8000
Rate of fencing = R 125 per meter
Total cost
Length of boundary of the field =
Rate
8000
= = 64 m
125
Let the length of each side of the field be x meters.
Then, its perimeter = (4x) meters.

∴ 4x = 64 ∴x = ∴ x = 16

Hence, the length of each side of the field is 16 m.

Symmetry
Introduction
A figure has line symmetry if a line can be drawn dividing the figure into two
identical parts. The line is called a line of symetry. When we see certain figures with
evenly balanced proportions, we say. “They are symetrical.
Number of lines of symmetry
A figure may have no line of symmetry, only one line of symmetry, two lines of
symmetry or multiple lines of symmetry. Here some examples.
The regular polygons are symmetrical figure and hence their lines of sym-
metry are quite interesting.

Construction of circles
92 A circle is a two dimensional figure. Every circle have a fixed point called a
centre. Distance between the centre and the boundary of a circle is known as its
radius. The line segment through the centre of a circle with its end points touching
the boundary of the circle is known as the diameter of the circle. The diameter is
twice its radiaus.
