Questions and Answers
What is the difference between a natural number and a whole number?
A natural number is a positive integer, whereas a whole number is a non-negative integer, which includes 0.
How do you distinguish between a rational number and an irrational number?
A rational number can be expressed as a finite decimal, whereas an irrational number has a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal.
What is the difference between an exponent and a multiplication?
An exponent is shorthand for repeated multiplication, whereas multiplication is the operation of combining two or more numbers to get a total or sum.

Study Notes
Numbers
- Natural Numbers: 1, 2, 3, ... (positive integers)
- Whole Numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, ... (non-negative integers)
- Integers: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ... (positive and negative whole numbers)
- Rational Numbers: fractions, e.g. 3/4, 22/7 (can be expressed as a finite decimal)
- Irrational Numbers: non-repeating, non-terminating decimals, e.g. π, e
- Real Numbers: rational and irrational numbers combined
Operations
- Addition: combining two or more numbers to get a total or sum
- Subtraction: finding the difference between two numbers
- Multiplication: repeated addition, e.g. 3 × 4 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
- Division: sharing a quantity into equal parts, e.g. 12 ÷ 3 = 4
- Exponents: shorthand for repeated multiplication, e.g. 2^3 = 2 × 2 × 2
Algebra
- Variables: letters or symbols representing unknown values
- Constants: numbers, e.g. 2, 5, 10
- Expressions: combinations of variables, constants, and operations
- Equations: statements saying two expressions are equal, e.g. 2x + 3 = 5
Geometry
- Points: locations in space, represented by coordinates (x, y)
- Lines: sets of points extending infinitely in two directions
- Angles: formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint
- Triangles: polygons with three sides and three angles
Measurement
- Length: distance between two points, measured in units (e.g. inches, meters)
- Area: size of a two-dimensional shape, measured in square units (e.g. square inches, square meters)
- Volume: amount of three-dimensional space, measured in cubic units (e.g. cubic inches, cubic meters)
Data Analysis
- Mean: average value of a dataset
- Median: middle value of a dataset when arranged in order
- Mode: most frequently occurring value in a dataset
- Range: difference between the largest and smallest values in a dataset
Numbers
- Natural numbers start from 1 and go upwards indefinitely
- Whole numbers include 0 and all positive integers
- Integers include all whole numbers and their negative counterparts
- Rational numbers are fractions that can be expressed as finite decimals
- Irrational numbers have non-repeating, non-terminating decimals
- Real numbers combine rational and irrational numbers
Operations
- Addition combines two or more numbers to get a total or sum
- Subtraction finds the difference between two numbers
- Multiplication is repeated addition
- Division shares a quantity into equal parts
- Exponents are shorthand for repeated multiplication
Algebra
- Variables represent unknown values with letters or symbols
- Constants are numbers that do not change
- Expressions combine variables, constants, and operations
- Equations state that two expressions are equal
Geometry
- Points are locations in space, defined by coordinates (x, y)
- Lines are sets of points extending infinitely in two directions
- Angles are formed by two rays sharing a common endpoint
- Triangles are polygons with three sides and three angles
Measurement
- Length is the distance between two points, measured in units
- Area is the size of a two-dimensional shape, measured in square units
- Volume is the amount of three-dimensional space, measured in cubic units
Data Analysis
- Mean is the average value of a dataset
- Median is the middle value when data is in order
- Mode is the most frequently occurring value in a dataset
- Range is the difference between the largest and smallest values
