- Simple Experiments: Calculating probability using outcomes of experiments (e.g., rolling a die).
Number System
- Types of numbers include natural numbers (1, 2, 3...), whole numbers (0, 1, 2, ...), integers (negative and positive whole numbers), rational numbers (fractions that can be expressed as a/b with a and b being integers), and irrational numbers (non-repeating, non-terminating decimals).
- A number line visually represents numbers in a straight line, with each point indicating a specific number.
Integers
- Integers encompass whole numbers that can be either positive (e.g., 1), negative (e.g., -1), or zero.
- Operations on integers include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, each following specific rules regarding the signs (e.g., subtracting a negative is equivalent to addition).
Fractions
- Types of fractions consist of proper fractions (numerator < denominator), improper fractions (numerator > denominator), and mixed numbers (a whole number combined with a proper fraction).
- Operations on fractions include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, often involving finding the least common denominator for addition and subtraction.
Decimals
- Decimals are defined as numbers featuring a decimal point, classified as either terminating (e.g., 0.75) or non-terminating (e.g., 0.333...).
- Conversions between fractions and decimals involve techniques such as dividing the numerator by the denominator or using long division.
Ratios and Proportions
- A ratio represents a quantitative relationship between two numbers, typically expressed as a/b.
- A proportion is an equation asserting that two ratios are equivalent (e.g., a/b = c/d).
- Ratios and proportions are useful for practical applications like distributing quantities and scaling sizes.
Algebraic Expressions
- Components of algebraic expressions include terms (individual parts), coefficients (numerical factors), variables (symbols representing numbers), and constants (fixed numbers).
- Operations on algebraic expressions involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and simplification, focusing on combining like terms and applying distributive property.
Linear Equations
- Linear equations are first-degree equations involving one variable, generally summarized as ax + b = 0.
- The solution to a linear equation is obtained by isolating the variable, yielding the value that satisfies the equation.
Geometry
- Basic geometric shapes include circles, triangles, rectangles, squares, and polygons, each with unique properties and definitions.
- Properties of shapes encompass calculations of area (the measure of space within a shape), perimeter (the distance around a shape), and volume (the space occupied within three-dimensional figures).
- Angles are categorized as acute (less than 90°), obtuse (greater than 90° but less than 180°), and right angles (exactly 90°), with specific relationships existing between different angles.
Data Handling
- Measures of central tendency include the mean (average), median (middle value), and mode (most frequent value) for summarizing data sets.
- Data representation through graphs can include bar graphs (comparing distinct categories), line graphs (showing trends over time), and pie charts (illustrating proportions of a whole).
Mensuration
- Formulas are essential for calculating the area, perimeter, and volume of various geometric shapes, often varying based on shape type.
- Understanding units of measurement is crucial, including converting between different units (e.g., centimeters to meters).
Probability
- Basic probability concepts relate to assessing the likelihood of specific events occurring in uncertain situations.
- Simple experiments, like rolling a die, can illustrate probability principles by counting the number of favorable outcomes over total possible outcomes.
