Study Notes
Basic Arithmetic Operations
- Addition: Combining two or more numbers to find their total. The result is the sum.
- Subtraction: Finding the difference between two numbers. The result is the difference.
- Multiplication: Repeated addition of the same number. The result is the product.
- Division: Splitting a number into equal parts. The result is the quotient.
Properties of Numbers
- Commutative Property (Addition and Multiplication): Changing the order of numbers in an addition or multiplication problem does not change the outcome.
- Associative Property (Addition and Multiplication): Grouping numbers differently in an addition or multiplication problem does not change the outcome.
- Distributive Property: Multiplying a number by a sum is the same as multiplying the number by each addend and then adding the products.
- Identity Property (Addition): Adding zero to any number results in the original number.
- Identity Property (Multiplication): Multiplying any number by one results in the original number.
- Zero Property (Multiplication): Multiplying any number by zero results in zero.
Place Value and Numeration
- Place value system: A system where the position of a digit determines its value.
- Expanded form: Writing a number as the sum of the values of its digits. Example: 123 = 100 + 20 + 3
Whole Numbers
- Counting numbers: 1, 2, 3, ... (and zero, if considered)
- Properties of whole numbers: Closure under addition and multiplication. (The sum or product of two whole numbers is also a whole number)
Fractions
- Fractions represent parts of a whole. A fraction has a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number).
- Equivalent fractions: Fractions that represent the same part of a whole.
- Simplifying fractions: Reducing a fraction to its lowest terms by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.
- Comparing fractions: Determining which fraction is larger or smaller, often by finding a common denominator.
- Adding and subtracting fractions: Requires a common denominator.
Decimals
- Decimal representation of fractions: Fractions can be converted to decimals and vice versa.
- Decimal place value: Each digit in a decimal has a specific place value that represents a power of ten. (e.g. tenths, hundredths, thousandths).
- Operations with decimals: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are performed similarly to whole numbers, but with consideration of decimal points.
Integers
- Integers: Whole numbers and their opposites.
- Positive and negative integers: Positive numbers are greater than zero, negative numbers are less than zero.
- Ordering integers: Integers can be ordered on a number line.
- Operations with integers: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division rules apply, including rules for signs.
Exponents and Powers
- Exponents represent repeated multiplication of a base number.
Factors and Multiples
- Factors: Numbers that divide another number evenly.
- Multiples: Numbers that are the product of a given number and another whole number.
- Prime numbers: Whole numbers greater than 1 that have only two factors: 1 and themselves.
- Composite numbers: Whole numbers greater than 1 that have more than two factors.
Order of Operations
- Parentheses (Brackets)
- Exponents (Orders)
- Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Real Numbers
- Real numbers include all rational and irrational numbers.
- Rational numbers can be expressed as a fraction, including integers and terminating or repeating decimals.
- Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction (non-repeating, non-terminating decimals).
