- Basic calculators have keys for basic operations, memory functions, and other specialized functions.
- The memory keys (M+, M-, MRC) allow for storing and recalling numbers.
Order of Operations (BODMAS)
- Remember the sequence: Brackets, Orders (powers, roots), Division and Multiplication (left to right), Addition and Subtraction (left to right).
Addition and Multiplication Shortcuts
- Breaking down numbers into manageable parts and rearranging them can simplify calculations.
Multiplying by Factors of 10
- To multiply by 10, 100, and 1000, shift each digit left according to the number of zeros in the multiplier.
Common Fractions
- Types of fractions include proper (numerator < denominator), improper (numerator > denominator), and mixed (whole number + fraction).
Operations with Fractions
- To add/subtract fractions, convert to a common denominator; for multiplication, simply multiply numerators and denominators. Division involves multiplying by the reciprocal.
Decimal Fractions
- Decimal fractions represent fractions with denominators as powers of ten, allowing for easy manipulation.
Positive and Negative Numbers
- Positive numbers are greater than zero, while negative numbers are less. Adding a number and its opposite yields zero.
Rounding
- Rounding rules vary based on context, with standard methods for rounding to the nearest ten or more precise values.
Ratio, Rate, and Proportion
- Ratios compare two or more similar numbers, while rates compare different units. Proportions denote equality between two ratios.
Calculating Percentages
- Convert a percentage to a fraction and multiply by the target amount to derive percentage values. Discounts reduce original prices, while increases do the opposite.
Understanding Graphs
- Graphs visually depict relationships between variables, aiding in data interpretation and trend identification.
Distinguishing Graph Types
- Increasing graphs trend upward; decreasing graphs trend downward. Slope steepness indicates the rate of change.
- Continuous graphs represent variable measurements (connected points), while discrete graphs showcase whole numbers (non-connected points).
Dependent and Independent Variables
- Independent variables stand alone (e.g., time), while dependent variables change in response (e.g., distance traveled).
Plotting Points on Graphs
- Begin at the origin and move along axes according to ordered pairs to plot points accurately.
Linear and Inverse Relationships
- Linear relationships yield straight-lined graphs with formulas such as (y = mx + c); inverse relationships form curves represented by (y = \frac{k}{x}).
Metric Units of Measurement
- Length measures distance utilizing units such as kilometers, meters, centimeters, and millimeters.
- Weight is expressed in tonnes, kilograms, grams, and milligrams, while volume is measured in kilolitres, litres, and millilitres.
Conversion Formulas for Length and Volume
- Conversion factors facilitate transitioning between units; for example, 1 km = 1000 m and 1000 ml = 1 l.
- Standard cooking measurements convert using a known factor: 1 cup = 250 ml, 1 tbsp = 15 ml, and 1 tsp = 5 ml.
Practical Measuring Instruments
- Rulers and measuring tapes are essential for length; scales are vital for mass; spoons and cups are standard for volume measurements.### Measuring Volumes and Costs
- Flasks come in various capacities but lack calibrated measurements.
- Buckets generally hold about 10 liters.
- Wheelbarrows typically have a capacity of around 170 liters.
- 1 liter equals 1000 milliliters for volume conversions.
- Total Cost Formula: Total Cost = Volume Needed × Price per Liter.
Measuring and Monitoring Temperature
- Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius (°C).
- Instruments for temperature measurement include:
- Analogue thermometers for human body temperature.
- Outdoor thermometers for external environment temperatures.
- Stove and oven dials for specific heat settings.
- Weather reports to forecast expected temperatures for locations.
- Key temperature points:
- Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C at sea level.
- Normal human body temperature ranges from 36°C to 37°C.
Perimeter and Area Measurements
- Perimeter is the total length enclosing a shape, measured in mm, cm, m, or km.
- To measure perimeters:
- Sum the lengths of sides in geometric figures like rectangles, squares, or triangles.
- Use string to measure the circumference of circles.
- Definitions:
- Rectangle: Opposite sides equal, right angles.
- Square: All sides equal, right angles.
- Circumference: Distance around a circle; calculated as C = π × diameter or C = 2 × π × radius.
- Area measures the space inside shapes, expressed in mm², cm², m², or km².
- Area Calculation Formulas:
- Rectangle: A = length × width.
- Square: A = side².
- Triangle: A = 1/2 × base × height.
- Circle: A = π × radius².
Scale, Maps, and Plans
- A map scale is a ratio showing the correlation between map distance and real-world distance (e.g., 1:100).
- Number Scale Formula: Real Distance = Measured Distance on Map × Scale Factor.
- Bar Scale involves measuring segments representing real distances.
- Advantages of scales:
- Number Scale: Simple but requires caution upon resizing maps.
- Bar Scale: Maintains accuracy when resizing but involves slightly more complex measurements.
Drawing Scaled Maps
- To create a scaled map:
- Know actual dimensions and the intended scale.
- Convert real measurements using the scale ratio.
- Example for a room with dimensions of 3m x 4.5m at a scale of 1:50 converts to 6 cm x 9 cm.
Understanding Directions and Plans
- Clear directions involve reference to landmarks.
- Seating and floor plans convey spatial organization:
- Seating Plans: Help locate seats in venue layouts (e.g., cinemas).
- Floor Plans: Display dimensions and furniture layout from a top view.
Probability Concepts
- Probability ranges from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain) and can be represented as fractions, decimals, or percentages.
- Categories of outcomes include:
- Impossible: 0
- Very Unlikely: Near 0
- Unlikely: Between 0 and 0.5
- Even Chances: 0.5
- Likely: Between 0.5 and 1
- Very Likely: Near 1
- Certain: 1
- Probability of an event formula: P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total possible outcomes.
- Tree diagrams visually represent outcomes, useful for single and combined events.
Key Concepts of Probability
- Theoretical Probability measures likelihood based on calculations, while Relative Frequency is based on actual outcomes.
- Game fairness impacts probability outcomes—fair games offer equal winning chances.
- Weather predictions utilize past data to calculate probabilities for future weather events.
