Study Notes
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.
