Number Systems and Integer Operations

Number Systems

• Integers include zero, positive whole numbers (natural numbers), and negative whole numbers.
• Rational numbers can be expressed as a fraction (a/b) where a and b are integers and b is not zero. This includes all integers.
• Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction. Examples include π (pi) and the square root of 2.
• Real numbers include both rational and irrational numbers.
• The number line visually represents real numbers.
• Understanding the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Operations with Integers

• Addition of integers: Positive + Positive = Positive, Negative + Negative = Negative, Negative + Positive (or Positive + Negative) depends on which absolute value is greater.
• Subtraction of integers: Change the subtraction to addition, change the sign of the second number, and follow the rules of addition.
• Multiplication and division of integers: Positive * Positive = Positive, Negative * Negative = Positive, Positive * Negative = Negative. The rules for division are identical.

Fractions and Decimals

• Equivalent fractions represent the same part of the whole.
• Simplifying fractions means reducing them to their lowest terms.
• Comparing fractions: Find a common denominator to make comparisons easier.
• Adding and subtracting fractions: Find a common denominator, add/subtract the numerators and keep the denominator.
• Multiplying fractions: Multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.
• Dividing fractions: Invert the second fraction and multiply.
• Converting fractions to decimals: Divide the numerator by the denominator.
• Converting decimals to fractions: Identify the place value of the last digit and form the fraction.

Ratio and Proportion

• Ratio compares two quantities.
• Proportion states that two ratios are equal.
• Solving proportions involves finding missing values using cross-multiplication.

Exponents and Scientific Notation

• Exponents represent repeated multiplication.
• Understanding the difference between whole number, decimal, and negative exponents.
• Writing numbers in scientific notation. This is useful for very large or very small numbers.

Geometry

• Understanding basic geometric shapes (lines, shapes, angles, 2D and 3D shapes).
• Measuring angles: using a protractor.
• Calculating perimeter, area & volume of different shapes.
• Recognizing and classifying different types of triangles and quadrilaterals.

Measurement

• Understanding different units of measurement (length, weight, volume, time).
• Converting between different units of measurement involving conversion factors.

Data Analysis

• Representing data in various forms: tables, charts, graphs (bar graphs, line graphs, histograms).
• Interpreting data from graphs, tables, and charts.
• Measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode).
• Understanding ranges and variability of sets of data.

Equations and Inequalities

• Equations state that two expressions are equal.
• Solving for a variable in an equation involves isolating the variable.
• Understanding and solving inequalities.

Problem Solving Strategies

• Devising plans for solving word problems.
• Identifying what information is relevant.
• Checking the results to see if the answer makes sense.
• Applying the learned concepts to various problems (application, word, and real-life examples).
• Understanding the steps from initial problem statement to solution verification.
