Fractions Operations
Fractions operations involve multiplying and dividing fractions. Students must understand how to simplify before or after calculation to get answers in lowest terms.
Key points
- To multiply fractions, multiply numerators together and denominators together.
- To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
- Always simplify the answer where possible.
Worked examples
Example 1: 1/2 × 3/4
Multiply the numerators: 1 × 3 = 3. Multiply the denominators: 2 × 4 = 8. Answer: 3/8.
Example 2: 2/3 × 6/5
2 × 6 = 12 and 3 × 5 = 15. Simplify 12/15 to 4/5.
Example 3: 3/5 ÷ 2/7
Change division to multiplication by the reciprocal: 3/5 × 7/2 = 21/10 = 2 1/10.
Approximation and Estimation
Approximation means replacing a number with a simpler value that is close to the original. Estimation helps you predict an answer quickly without doing full exact calculation.
Key points
- Round to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, or decimal place as required.
- Use estimation to check whether an exact answer is reasonable.
- Approximation is useful in daily-life calculations and examination checks.
Worked examples
Example 1: Round 47 to the nearest ten
47 is closer to 50 than 40, so it rounds to 50.
Example 2: Round 263 to the nearest hundred
263 is closer to 300 than 200, so it rounds to 300.
Example 3: Estimate 198 + 302
Round to easy numbers: 200 + 300 = 500.
Binary Number System
The binary system uses only two digits: 0 and 1. It is called base 2 and is very important in computer and digital technology.
Key points
- Base 10 uses digits 0 to 9.
- Base 2 uses digits 0 and 1 only.
- Binary numbers increase by powers of 2.
Worked examples
Example 1: Convert 5 to binary
5 = 4 + 1, so the binary form is 101.
Example 2: Convert 6 to binary
6 = 4 + 2, so the binary form is 110.
Example 3: Add 101 and 10 in binary
101₂ = 5 and 10₂ = 2. 5 + 2 = 7, which is 111₂.
Open Sentences and Equations
Open sentences are mathematical statements that contain an unknown value. When the unknown is replaced with a number that makes the statement true, it becomes a true sentence or equation.
Key points
- Use symbols such as x, y, and n for unknown values.
- To solve an equation, isolate the unknown using inverse operations.
- Check the solution after solving.
Worked examples
Example 1: x + 5 = 12
Subtract 5 from both sides: x = 7.
Example 2: 3n = 21
Divide both sides by 3: n = 7.
Example 3: y - 4 = 9
Add 4 to both sides: y = 13.
Algebraic Expressions
Algebraic expressions are combinations of letters, numbers, and operations. They do not contain an equal sign. They help students express patterns and relationships in mathematics.
Key points
- Like terms have the same letters and powers.
- Only like terms can be simplified together.
- Coefficients are the numbers attached to variables.
Worked examples
Example 1: Simplify 3x + 2x
3x + 2x = 5x.
Example 2: Simplify 4a + 3b + 2a
Combine like terms: 4a + 2a = 6a, so answer is 6a + 3b.
Example 3: Expand 2(x + 5)
Multiply 2 by each term: 2x + 10. Answer: 2x + 10.
