Egyptian numerals – chiffres egyptien
Summary
Property: The roman numerals are built up in ‘fives’ and ‘tens’. It possibly resulted from using the fingers to
count. It was invented in about 300 B.C and is still in use today.
Remark
- Order is taken into account in roman numerals as we shall see below.
- The other roman numerals are obtain as follows:
When a numeral of a smaller number is placed to the right of the numeral of a larger number, the
resulting number is obtained by adding the two numerals eg VI = 5+1 = 6
When a numeral of a smaller number is placed to the left of the numeral of a larger number, the
resulting number is obtained by subtracting the smaller numeral from the larger one eg IV = 5 – 1= 4
We can add or subtract roman numerals.

Topic 7: DECIMALS
Lesson 7.1: Decimal Fractions
Objectives: By the end of this lesson students should be able to;
- State and identify decimal fractions
- Convert decimal fractions to decimal numbers
- Identify decimal numbers
Prerequisite knowledge:
- Identify and name the fraction parts
- Writing 10, 100, 1000 in index form (or powers of 10)
Motivation: In sequence one; form one students scored 75% success in mathematics. In a newspaper I read that
150 out of every 1000 children suffer from malnutrition in the world. Again, in Fadimatou’s family out of 10
children only one failed. To understand all these information we need the knowledge of decimal fractions and
decimal numbers.
Summary
- Property:
A decimal fraction is a fraction whose denominator is 10 or a power of 10 (like 10, 100, 1000 …)
A decimal number is another form of writing fractions or percentages. It may have both the whole number
part and a fractional part separated by a decimal point or a radix point (.).
To write a decimal fraction as a decimal number, we displace the decimal point to the left according to the
power of 10.
