    Study Notes

    Decimal Operations

    • Addition: Align decimal points; add zeros if necessary.
    • Subtraction: Align decimal points; add zeros if necessary.
    • Multiplication: Multiply as whole numbers; count total decimal places from both factors for the result.
    • Division: Move the decimal of the divisor to make it a whole number; adjust the dividend's decimal point accordingly, then perform long division.

    Decimal Place Value

    • Decimal places are counted to the right of the decimal point.
    • Each place represents a power of 10:
      • Tenths (0.1)
      • Hundredths (0.01)
      • Thousandths (0.001)
    • Example: In 3.456, 4 is in the tenths place, 5 in the hundredths, and 6 in the thousandths.

    Rounding Decimals

    • Locate the place value to which you want to round (e.g., tenths, hundredths).
    • Look at the digit to the right:
      • If it is 5 or greater, increase the target digit by one.
      • If it is less than 5, keep the target digit the same.
    • Replace all digits to the right of the rounded place with zeros or remove them.

    Converting Fractions To Decimals

    • Method 1: Division
      • Divide the numerator by the denominator.
    • Method 2: Equivalent fractions
      • Adjust fractions to have a denominator of 10, 100, etc., and rewrite.
    • Example: 1/4 = 0.25 (1 ÷ 4 = 0.25).

    Rational Vs Irrational Decimals

    • Rational Decimals:

      • Can be expressed as a fraction (e.g., 0.75 = 3/4).
      • Either terminating (e.g., 0.5) or repeating (e.g., 0.333...).

    • Irrational Decimals:

      • Cannot be expressed as a fraction.
      • Non-repeating and non-terminating (e.g., √2 = 1.414213...).

    Decimal Operations

    • Addition and Subtraction: Align decimal points vertically, adding zeros as placeholders if needed.
    • Multiplication: Multiply as whole numbers, then count the total number of decimal places in both factors and place the decimal point in the product.
    • Division: Move the decimal point in the divisor to make it a whole number. Shift the decimal in the dividend the same number of places. Perform long division.

    Decimal Place Value

    • Each place value to the right of the decimal point represents a power of 10.
    • Tenths (0.1): The first place to the right of the decimal.
    • Hundredths (0.01): The second place to the right of the decimal.
    • Thousandths (0.001): The third place to the right of the decimal.

    Rounding Decimals

    • Identify the place value you need to round to (e.g., tenths, hundredths).
    • Look at the digit to the right of the target digit:
      • If it is 5 or greater, increase the target digit by one.
      • If it is less than 5, keep the target digit the same.
    • Replace all digits to the right of the rounded place with zeros or remove them entirely.

    Converting Fractions to Decimals

    • Method 1: Division: Divide the numerator by the denominator.
    • Method 2: Equivalent Fractions: Find an equivalent fraction with 10, 100, or another power of 10 in the denominator. Rewrite the fraction as a decimal.

    Rational vs. Irrational Decimals

    • Rational Decimals:
      • Can be expressed as a fraction.
      • Either terminating (e.g., 0.5), ending after a finite number of digits, or repeating (e.g., 0.333...), where a pattern of digits repeats infinitely.
    • Irrational Decimals:
      • Cannot be expressed as a fraction.
      • Non-repeating and non-terminating (e.g., √2 = 1.414213...). The digits continue infinitely without repeating.

    Decimal Operations

    • Addition/Subtraction requires aligning the decimals vertically. Perform the operation as with whole numbers.
    • Multiplication involves multiplying the numbers as whole numbers, counting the total decimal places in the factors, and finally placing the decimal in the product based on that count.
    • Division entails moving the decimal in the divisor to create a whole number. The decimal in the dividend must be moved the same number of places.

    Solving Word Problems

    • Begin by carefully reading the problem to understand the context and the question's intent.
    • Identify relevant numbers and operations described in the problem.
    • Translate words into mathematical symbols using keywords (e.g., "sum" translates to addition, "difference" translates to subtraction).
    • Construct a mathematical equation based on the extracted data.
    • Solve the equation and check the answer by plugging it back into the context.

    Measurement Units

    • Common length units: millimeters (mm), centimeters (cm), meters (m), kilometers (km).
    • Common area units: square centimeters (cm²), square meters (m²), hectares (ha).
    • Common volume units: milliliters (mL), liters (L), cubic centimeters (cm³).
    • Understanding conversions between units is crucial (e.g., 100 cm = 1 m, 1,000 mL = 1 L).

    Geometric Shapes

    • Basic shapes include:
      • Triangle: 3 sides, with the sum of angles equal to 180°.
      • Rectangle: 4 sides, with opposite sides being equal.
      • Square: 4 equal sides, all angles measuring 90°.
      • Circle: Defined by radius (r) and diameter (d = 2r).
    • Understanding properties like angles, sides, and symmetry are important for differentiating shapes. Familiarize yourself with formulae linking shape properties.

    Area and Perimeter

    • Area formulas:
      • Rectangle: A = length × width.
      • Triangle: A = 1/2 × base × height.
      • Circle: A = πr²
    • Perimeter formulas:
      • Rectangle: P = 2(length + width).
      • Triangle: P = sum of all sides.
      • Circle: C = 2πr (circumference).
    • Applications: Area and perimeter calculations are key for solving practical problems like determining the amount of fencing needed for a yard or the tiles required for a floor.
