Study Notes
Numbers and Operations
-
Types of Numbers:
- Natural Numbers: 1, 2, 3, ...
- Whole Numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
- Integers: ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
- Rational Numbers: fractions, decimals, and percents
- Irrational Numbers: non-repeating decimals, e.g. π, e
-
Basic Operations:
- Addition: combining two or more numbers to get a total or sum
- Subtraction: finding the difference between two numbers
- Multiplication: repeated addition of a number
- Division: sharing a number into equal parts or groups
-
Order of Operations:
- Parentheses (if present)
- Exponents (if present)
- Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
- Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)
Fractions and Decimals
-
Fractions:
- Numerator: the top number
- Denominator: the bottom number
- Equivalent Fractions: fractions with the same value, e.g. 1/2 = 2/4
- Simplifying Fractions: reducing a fraction to its simplest form
-
Decimals:
- Converting Fractions to Decimals: dividing the numerator by the denominator
- Rounding Decimals: approximating a decimal to a specific number of places
-
Percentages:
- Converting Decimals to Percentages: multiplying by 100
- Finding a Percentage of a Number: multiplying the number by the percentage
Algebra and Geometry
-
Variables and Expressions:
- Variables: letters or symbols representing unknown values
- Expressions: combinations of numbers, variables, and operations
- Evaluating Expressions: substituting values for variables
-
Basic Geometry:
- Points: locations in space
- Lines: sets of points extending infinitely
- Angles: formed by two lines or rays
- Shapes: basic geometric figures, e.g. triangles, quadrilaterals, circles
Ratios and Proportions
-
Ratios:
- Comparing two quantities, e.g. 2:3 or 2/3
- Simplifying Ratios: reducing a ratio to its simplest form
-
Proportions:
- Equating two ratios, e.g. 2:3 = 4:6
- Solving Proportions: finding the unknown value in a proportion
Numbers and Operations
- Natural Numbers are 1, 2, 3, and so on.
- Whole Numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.
- Integers are ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.
- Rational Numbers are fractions, decimals, and percents.
