Study Notes

Basic Arithmetic Operations

  • Addition: Combining two or more numbers to find their sum. Example: 2 + 3 = 5
  • Subtraction: Finding the difference between two numbers. Example: 5 - 2 = 3
  • Multiplication: Repeated addition of a number. Example: 2 x 3 = 6 (which is 2+2+2)
  • Division: Splitting a number into equal parts. Example: 6 ÷ 2 = 3 (6 divided into 2 equal parts)

Order of Operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS)

  • Parentheses/Brackets: Operations inside parentheses are evaluated first.
  • Exponents/Orders: Operations with exponents (e.g., squaring, cubing) are next.
  • Multiplication and Division (from left to right): Performed sequentially from left to right.
  • Addition and Subtraction (from left to right): Performed sequentially from left to right.

Fractions

  • Representation: A fraction represents a part of a whole. For example, 1/2 represents one part of two equal parts.
  • Numerator: The top number of a fraction (representing the portion).
  • Denominator: The bottom number of a fraction (representing the whole).
  • Equivalent Fractions: Fractions with different numerators and denominators that represent the same value (e.g., 1/2 = 2/4).
  • Simplifying Fractions: Reducing a fraction to its lowest terms. For example, 2/4 simplifies to 1/2.
  • Mixed Numbers: A whole number with a fraction. For example, 1 1/2 means 1 plus 1/2

Decimals

  • Representation: A decimal number uses a decimal point to represent parts of a whole.
  • Place Value: Each digit to the right of the decimal point represents a smaller value (e.g., tenths, hundredths, thousandths).
  • Comparing Decimals: When ordering decimals, compare the digits from left to right until there is a difference.

Percentages

  • Representation: A percentage represents a fraction or ratio out of 100. For example, 50% represents 50/100.
  • Converting to Decimals: Divide the percentage value by 100 (e.g., 50% = 0.50).
  • Converting to Fractions: Express the percentage as a fraction out of 100 (e.g., 25% = 25/100 = 1/4)

Integers

  • Positive and Negative Numbers: Integers include positive whole numbers, negative whole numbers, and zero.
  • Number Line: The number line visually shows the relationship between integers and their magnitude.

Algebra

  • Variables: Letters representing unknown values (e.g., x, y).
  • Equations: Statements showing the equality of two mathematical expressions (e.g., x + 2 = 5).
  • Solving Equations: Finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.
  • Inequalities: Statements showing that one mathematical expression is less than, greater than, or not equal to another (e.g., x > 2).

Geometry

  • Shapes: Two-dimensional figures (e.g., squares, triangles, circles) and three-dimensional figures (e.g., cubes, spheres).
  • Measurements: Calculating the size of shapes (e.g., area, perimeter, volume).
  • Angles: Measurements of the openings between lines or surfaces.
  • Properties: Specific characteristics of particular shapes.

Data Analysis

  • Collecting Data: Gathering information.
  • Organizing Data: Arranging data in a structured way (e.g., tables, charts).
  • Analyzing Data: Examining data to draw conclusions.
  • Interpreting Data: Understanding the meaning of the data and its implications.

Exponents and Roots

  • Exponents: Repeated multiplication of a base number (e.g., 23 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8)
  • Roots: Operations that undo exponentiation (e.g., the square root of 9 is 3).

Measurement

  • Units: Standard units for length (meters, centimeters), weight (kilograms, grams), and volume (liters, cubic meters).
  • Conversions: Converting measurements from one unit to another.
