    Study Notes

    Ratios and Proportions

    • Ratios compare two quantities using division. They can be expressed as a fraction, a colon, or with the word "to."
    • Proportions are equations stating that two ratios are equal.
    • Cross-multiplication is a method for solving proportions. If a/b = c/d, then ad = bc.
    • Solving proportions involves finding the unknown value in a proportion.
    • Applications of ratios and proportions include scaling drawings, maps, and models.

    Percentages

    • A percentage is a ratio that compares a number to 100.
    • Representing percentages as decimals and fractions is crucial for calculations.
    • Finding a percentage of a number involves multiplying the number by the percentage expressed as a decimal.
    • Calculating the percentage increase or decrease requires finding the difference between the original and new values, dividing by the original value, and then multiplying by 100.
    • Applications include calculating discounts, taxes, and interest rates.

    Integers and Rational Numbers

    • Integers are whole numbers including positive, negative, and zero.
    • Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not zero.
    • Representing integers and rational numbers on a number line helps visualize their relative positions and magnitude.
    • Ordering rational numbers involves arranging them in ascending or descending order based on their values.
    • Operations with integers and rational numbers include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Rules for these operations with integers must be remembered when working with rational numbers that are integers. Knowledge of positive and negative numbers is vital to understand these rules.

    Linear Equations

    • A linear equation is an equation that can be written in the form Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants, and x and y are variables.
    • The solution to a linear equation in two variables (x and y) is a pair of numbers (x, y) that satisfies the equation.
    • Graphing linear equations involves plotting points that satisfy the equation and connecting them to form a straight line. The concept of slope and intercepts is important to understanding linear equations.
    • Solving linear equations involves isolating the variable. Different methods for solving, such as the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division properties of equality are useful.

    Linear Inequalities

    • Linear inequalities are inequalities that can be written in the form Ax + By < C, or Ax + By > C, or Ax + By ≤ C, or Ax + By ≥ C.
    • Solving linear inequalities involves isolating the variable using similar rules as solving linear equations using the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division properties of inequalities. It's important to remember when inequalities are multiplied or divided by a negative number, the inequality symbol changes direction.
    • Graphing linear inequalities involves plotting the boundary line (which would be written as an equation) and shading the region that satisfies the inequality.
    • Identifying the solution set to a linear inequality typically is a region of points on a graph representing x and y.

    Exponents and Scientific Notation

    • Exponents represent repeated multiplication.
    • Scientific notation is a way to write very large or very small numbers using powers of 10; it simplifies mathematical expressions involving very large or small numbers. Practice with multiplying and dividing numbers in scientific notation is essential.
    • Applying properties of exponents to numbers written in scientific notation is a vital skill.

    Measurement and Geometry

    • Understanding various units of measurement (e.g., length, area, volume) is fundamental in applying the concepts learnt.
    • Concepts of area and perimeter of shapes such as triangles, circles, squares, and rectangles. Understanding formulas and how they relate to dimensions.
    • Application of the Pythagorean Theorem in right-angled triangles - the relationship between the sides of a right-angled triangle.
    • 3D figures: surface area and volume.

    Data Analysis and Probability

    • Organizing and interpreting numerical data (e.g., creating charts/tables/graphs to present data, identifying the median/mean/mode from collected data).
    • Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event occurring. Understanding probability is applying fractions to likely outcomes of an event. Finding the possible outcomes of an event and expressing it as a fraction or decimal is important.
