Large and Small Numbers The distance to the sun is 93 million miles. Key this into your calculator. • Calculate the distance to a star which is; • 10 times as far away? (b) 1000 times as far away? • (c) 1000 000 times as far away? What is on your screen? This is because the number is too big to fit on your screen. We use STANDARD FORM or SCIENTIFIC NOTATION to show large or small numbers
Standard form is a way of writing all numbers in the form where a is between 1 and 10 and n is a zero or a positive or negative whole number. Numbers greater than 1 have a positive Index Numbers less than 1 have a negative Index
Consider the following identical numbers. Standard form Normal or Floating Point form Page 5 Exercise 4 Page 6 Exercise 5A

Adding and Subtracting Fractions Remember: A fraction consists of two parts, Numerator Denominator To add fractions their denominators MUST be the same.
We first need to find the lowest common denominator. (L.C.D.) i.e. what number can be divided by 3 and 2? The L.C.D. is 6.
We must change them into fractions before we start. The L.C.D. is . 4 Page 9 Exercise 7A
Multiplying Fractions It is easier to show the process of multiplying fractions using symbols. If necessary, simplify the fraction.
10 3 1 Let us find an easier method 12 1 1 3 4 It is easier to cancel before multiplying. Page 10 Exercise 8A and 8B
Dividing Fractions Dividing is the INVERSE of multiplying. Think about it! (dividing by 2) What is the same as ‘MULTIPLYING BY A HALF’? Turning a fraction ‘upside down’ is called a ‘reciprocal’. To divide fractions we simply multiply by the reciprocal.
