Study Notes

Fractions

  • A fraction is a way to show part of a whole
  • Consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number)
  • Examples: 1/2, 3/4, 2/3
  • Types of fractions:
    • Proper fraction: numerator is less than the denominator (e.g. 1/2)
    • Improper fraction: numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator (e.g. 3/2)

Decimals

  • A decimal is a way to show a fraction using a point (.)
  • Examples: 0.5, 0.25, 1.75
  • Decimals can be converted to fractions and vice versa
  • Decimal places:
    • Tenths: 0.1, 0.2, etc.
    • Hundredths: 0.01, 0.02, etc.
    • Thousandths: 0.001, 0.002, etc.

Percentages

  • A percentage is a way to show a fraction as a part of 100
  • Examples: 25%, 50%, 75%
  • Percentage can be converted to fractions and decimals
  • Types of percentages:
    • Increase: 25% increase means 25/100 of the original value
    • Decrease: 25% decrease means 25/100 of the original value subtracted from the original value

Data Analysis

  • Types of data:
    • Categorical data (e.g. favorite color)
    • Numerical data (e.g. scores, heights)
  • Ways to display data:
    • Bar graphs
    • Picture graphs
    • Line graphs
    • Pie charts
  • Interpreting data:
