FACTS/ TIPS
Mean or Average or Arithmetic mean is a number that is calculated by
adding quantities together and dividing the total by the number of
quantities.
Ms. Persaud placed a bowl of sweets on her desk and allowed three
children to take them.
The following conversation took place between Ms. Persaud and the
children.
Ms. Persaud: Children, come one by one and pick up some sweets from
the bowl.
Ron: I collected 8 sweets from the bowl.
Shelly: I took 12 sweets.
Mary: I got 4 sweets.
Ms. Persaud: Don’t worry! Let us share these sweets equally among
yourselves. To share the sweets equally we must first put all the sweets
together and add them up. This is called the sum of quantities.
Sum of quantities /Total number of sweets: 8 + 12 + 4 = 24
Next, we check and count the different numbers we added. This is called
the number of quantities. Therefore, the number of quantities is 3 since we
added 3 numbers (8, 12 and 4) to get 24.
Finally, we divide the sum by the number of quantities to find the total
sweets each child should get. This is called the average or mean. Since
the sum was 24 and the number of quantities is 3, we divide 24 by 3;
Mean =24/3=8 sweets.
We can say that the average number of sweets each child gets is 8.
Example 2: Mary’s scores in three Mathematics quiz are: 5, 9 and 7.
What is Mary’s average score?
To find Mary’s average score we must first add up all the scores:
Sum of quantities = 5 + 9 + 7 = 21
Next, we check the number of quantities we added:
Number of quantities = 3
Finally, we divide the sum by the number of quantities:
Example 3: Arjun, Krishna and Ram went out to the fields one day to
collect some mangoes. By the end of the day, Arjun had collected 10
mangoes, Krishna had collected 8 mangoes and Ram had collected 4
mangoes. What is the average number of mangoes collected by each
boy?
Sum of quantities = 10 + 8 + 4 = 22
Number of quantities = 3
or 7.33

SUBJECT: MATHEMATICS
LESSON: 2 Week 5
TOPIC: Operations, Relations and Properties – Mean/Average
FACTS/ TIPS
Example 1:
Solution:
Average = 33 kg.
No. of members = 15
Total = Average × No. of members.
= 33 × 15
= 495 kg.
Therefore, the total consumption of cassava for 3 months is 495 kg.
Example 2:
The total height of a class is 1300 cm. If the average height of a class is 65
cm, find the number of students in the class.
Solution:
Total height of a class = 1300 cm.
Average = 65 cm.
No. of students = Total ÷ Average
= 1300 ÷ 65
= 20
Therefore, number of students in the class = 20
Example 3:
Solution
Step 3) The missing number is the answer from Step 2. Subtract the answer
from Step 1 which is 25-15=9.
Example 4:
Solution
Step 3) Hence the 8th game his score is the answer from Step 2 subtract
the answer from Step 1 which is 1720-1434=286 runs.
Example 5:
The average of 4 numbers is 85. Three of the numbers are 86, 83, and 81.
Find the missing number.
Solution:
Multiply 85 x 4 to get the total sum needed: 85 x 4 = 340 (total sum)
Add the 3 numbers that you know: 86 + 83 + 81 = 250 (sum you have)
Now subtract the sum you have from the total sum to find your missing
number: 340 - 250 = 90 (missing number)
Example 6:
Solution:
Step 1: The removed number could be obtained by finding the difference
between the sum of original 6 numbers and the sum of remaining 5
numbers i.e.
Solution
= 200 - (80+100)
= 200 – 180
= 20

Composite Numbers
- A composite number is a natural number that can be divided by more
than two other numbers without leaving any remainder.
- Composite numbers have more than two factors.
Example: 8 can be divided by 1, 2, 4, and 8.
8 is therefore a composite number.
We can use our knowledge of factors to determine whether numbers are
prime or composite.

Remember that the denominator tells how many parts there are in

Example:
Often when multiplying a whole number and a fraction the
resulting product will be an improper fraction. It is often desirable
to write improper fractions as a mixed number for the final answer.
You can simplify the fraction before or after rewriting as a mixed

2. What are the Prime Factors of:
a. 10
b. 95
c. 45
d. 27
e. 30
f. 51
PRIME FACTORIZATION
Method 1:
12 ÷ 2 = 6
6÷2=3
12 = 2 × 2 × 3
Note: 12 = 2 × 2 × 3
Break 90 into 9 × 10
The prime factors of 9 are 3 and 3
The prime factors of 10 are 2 and 5
So, the prime factors of 90 are 3, 3, 2 and 5
Which is 90 = 2 x 32 x 5
Method 3:
Factor Tree
A "Factor Tree" can help: find any factors of the number, then the
factors of those numbers, until we can't find any more factor.
Example: 48
