Arithmetic Operations and Number Systems

Arithmetic Operations

• Addition: Combining two or more numbers to find a total. The sum is the result.
• Subtraction: Finding the difference between two numbers. The difference is the result.
• Multiplication: Repeated addition of a number. The product is the result.
• Division: Separating a number into equal groups. The quotient is the result.
• Order of Operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders, Multiplication and Division (left to right), Addition and Subtraction (left to right). This order ensures consistent results when evaluating expressions.

Number Systems

• Natural Numbers (Counting Numbers): 1, 2, 3, ...
• Whole Numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, ... (Includes zero with natural numbers)
• Integers: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ... (Includes natural numbers, zero, and negative whole numbers)
• Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction (p/q) where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0. Examples include fractions, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals.
• Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction. Examples include π (pi) and √2.
• Real Numbers: The set of all rational and irrational numbers.

Algebra

• Variables: Symbols (usually letters) that represent unknown values.
• Expressions: Combinations of variables, numbers, and operations.
• Equations: Statements that show that two expressions are equal. Solving equations involves finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.
• Inequalities: Statements that compare two expressions using symbols like < (less than), > (greater than), ≤ (less than or equal to), ≥ (greater than or equal to).
• Linear Equations: Equations that form a straight line when graphed.
• Solving Equations: Using mathematical operations to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
• Systems of Equations: A set of two or more equations with the same variables. Solving involves finding the values for the variables that satisfy all equations in the system.

Geometry

• Points, Lines, and Planes: Fundamental building blocks of geometric figures.
• Angles: Formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint (vertex).
• Polygons: Closed shapes with straight sides (e.g., triangles, quadrilaterals).
• Area and Perimeter: Measures of the space enclosed by a shape and the distance around it.
• Circles: A set of points equidistant from a central point (center).
• Volume and Surface Area: Measures of the space occupied by a three-dimensional shape and the total area of its surfaces.

Data Analysis

• Data Collection: The process of gathering information.
• Data Organization: Arranging and classifying data to identify patterns.
• Data Interpretation: Identifying trends and relationships from organized data.
• Measures of Central Tendency (mean, median, mode): Summary statistics representing the center of a dataset.
• Measures of Dispersion (range, standard deviation): Statistics describing the spread of data around the central tendency.
• Graphs and Charts: Visual representations of data (e.g., histograms, bar charts, scatter plots).
