    Study Notes

    Number Formats and Conventions

    • Convention refers to a standard method of representation, while format indicates how something is displayed.
    • In South Africa, use a decimal comma for separating whole numbers from decimal fractions, employing spaces for grouping digits (e.g., R 1 000 000,00).
    • Different contexts for numbers include measurements, counting, order, monetary amounts, percentages, and codes.

    Writing Whole Numbers in Words

    • Break numbers into groups of three digits from right to left and name each group to write the number in words.

    Place Value of Large Numbers

    • Understanding place value is crucial for reading and comparing large numbers effectively.

    Arranging Numbers in Order

    • Develop a place value table, compare digits from the leftmost column, and arrange numbers accordingly.

    Operations Using Numbers and Calculator Skills

    • Estimation assists in problem-solving and checking the accuracy of answers.
    • 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
