Computation & Number Theory

Number Types
• Integers: Whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero (e.g.,
-2, 0, 3).
• Fractions: A number expressed as the ratio of two integers (e.g., \
frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{4}).
• Decimals: Numbers written in decimal form (e.g., 0.75, 3.14).
• Percentages: A way of expressing numbers as parts of 100 (e.g., 50%,
25%).

Practice Questions
1. Convert 0.75 into a fraction.
2. Express 40% as a decimal.
3. Add \frac{5}{8} + \frac{3}{4}.

Laws of Indices
• Product of powers: a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}
• Quotient of powers: \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}
• Power of a power: (a^m)^n = a^{m \times n}

Practice Questions
1. Simplify: x^3 \times x^4.
2. Simplify: \frac{y^5}{y^2}.
3. Simplify: (a^2)^3.

Scientific Notation

Numbers are written as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10


(e.g., 6.5 \times 10^3).

Practice Questions
1. Write 5,000,000 in scientific notation.
2. Convert 3.2 \times 10^4 to standard form.

Ratio, Proportion, and Rate


• Ratio: A comparison of two quantities (e.g., 2:3).
• Proportion: An equation that states two ratios are equal (e.g., \
frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{6}).
• Rate: A ratio comparing two different units (e.g., 60 km/h).

Practice Questions
1. If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:4, and there are 36 boys,
how many girls are there?
2. A car travels 120 km in 2 hours. What is its average speed?

Estimation and Approximation

Rounding numbers to a certain place value for easier calculation or estimation.

Practice Questions
1. Estimate the sum of 427 and 195.
2. Round 356.78 to the nearest whole number.

Algebra

Algebraic Expressions & Operations

Expressions include variables, numbers, and operations (e.g., 2x + 3).

Practice Questions
1. Simplify: 3x + 2x - 5.
2. If x = 4, evaluate 5x - 3.

Solving Equations (Linear, Quadratic)


• Linear: ax + b = 0
• Quadratic: ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Practice Questions
1. Solve 2x + 3 = 11.
2. Solve x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0.

Factorization

Breaking down expressions into simpler factors (e.g., x^2 - 9 = (x - 3)(x + 3)).

Practice Questions
1. Factorize: x^2 - 4.
2. Factorize: x^2 + 5x + 6.

Sequences and Series


• Arithmetic Sequence: Difference between terms is constant (e.g., 2, 4,
6, 8, …).
• Geometric Sequence: Each term is found by multiplying the previous term
by a constant (e.g., 2, 4, 8, 16, …).

Practice Questions
1. Find the 5th term in the arithmetic sequence 3, 7, 11, 15, …
2. Find the sum of the first 4 terms in the geometric sequence 3, 6, 12,
24, …

Consumer Arithmetic

Profit, Loss, and Discount


• Profit: Selling price - Cost price.
• Loss: Cost price - Selling price.
• Discount: Reduction in price.

Practice Questions
1. A shirt costs $30 and is sold for $50. Find the profit.
2. A book originally priced at $120 is discounted by 15%. What is the
discounted price?

Simple Interest

Formula:
SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}
Practice Questions
1. Find the simple interest on $500 at 5% for 2 years.
2. Find the total amount after 3 years on $1000 at 6% simple interest.

Measurement

Perimeter, Area, and Volume


• Perimeter: Sum of all sides of a shape.
• Area: Space inside a shape (e.g., area of a rectangle = length ×
width).
• Volume: Space inside a 3D object (e.g., volume of a cube = \
text{side}^3).

Practice Questions
1. Find the perimeter of a rectangle with length 10 cm and width 5 cm.
2. Find the area of a circle with radius 7 cm.
3. Find the volume of a cube with side 4 cm.
