  1. BASIC MATH

  2. BASIC MATH A. BASIC ARITHMETIC • Foundation of modern day life. • Simplest form of mathematics. Four Basic Operations : • Addition plus sign • Subtraction minus sign • Multiplication multiplication sign • Division division sign x Equal or Even Values equal sign

  3. 1. Beginning Terminology • Numbers - Symbol or word used to express value or quantity. Numbers • Arabic number system - 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 • Digits - Name given to place or position of each numeral. Digits Number Sequence 2. Kinds of numbers Whole Numbers • Whole Numbers - Complete units , no fractional parts. (43) • May be written in form of words. (forty-three) Fraction • Fraction - Part of a whole unit or quantity. (1/2)

  4. 2. Kinds of numbers (con’t) • Decimal Numbers - Fraction written on one line as whole no. Decimal Numbers • Position of period determines power of decimal.

  5. B. WHOLE NUMBERS 1. Addition Number Line • Number Line - Shows numerals in order of value Adding on the Number Line • Adding on theNumber Line (2 + 3 = 5) Adding with pictures • Adding with pictures

  6. 1. Addition (con’t) Adding in columns • Adding in columns - Uses no equal sign 897 + 368 1265 5 + 5 10 Answer is called “sum”. Simple Complex Table of Digits

  18. 5. Division • Finding out how many times a divider “goes into” a whole number. Finding out how many times a divider “goes into” a whole number. 15 3 = 5 15 5 = 3

  19. Shown by using a straight bar “ “ or “ “ sign. • Shown by using a straight bar “ “ or “ “ sign. 1 times 48 = 48 48 “goes into” 50 one time. 48 5040 50 minus 48 = 2 & bring down the 4 48 goes into 24 zero times. Bring down other 0. 48 goes into 240, five times 5 times 48 = 240 240 minus 240 = 0 remainder 5. Division (con’t) 1 0 5 48 2 4 0 240 0 So, 5040 divided by 48 = 105 w/no remainder.

  22. C. FRACTIONS - A smaller part of a whole number. A smaller part of a whole number. Written with one number over the other, divided by a line. 3 8 11 16 11 3 or 8 16 Any number smaller than 1, must be a fraction. 24 6 Try thinking of the fraction as “so many of a specified number of parts”. For example: Think of 3/8 as “three of eight parts” or... Think of 11/16 as “eleven of sixteen parts”. 1. Changing whole numbers to fractions. Multiply the whole number times the number of parts being considered. Changing the whole number 4 to “sixths”: 24 6 4 x 6 6 or 4 = =

  23.

Mixed numbers. Combination of a whole number and a proper fraction. 4. Changing mixed numbers to fractions. Change 3 7/8 into an improper fraction. • Change whole number (3) to match fraction (eighths). 24 24 8 3 x 8 8 3 = or = 8 • Add both fractions together. 7 + 24 31 = 8 8 8

  27. 6. Reducing Fractions Reducing - Changing to different terms. Terms - The name for numerator and denominator of a fraction. Reducing does not change value of original fraction. 7.

When denominators are not the same, a common denominator is found by multiplying each denominator together. 6 x 8 x 9 x 12 x 18 x 24 x 36 = 80,621,568 80,621,568 is only one possible common denominator ... but certainly not the best, or easiest to work with. 10. Least Common Denominator (LCD) Smallest number into which denominators of a group of two or more fractions will divide evenly.

Reducing to LCD Reducing to LCD can only be done after the LCD itself is known. Divide the LCD by each of the other denominators, then multiply both the numerator and denominator of the fraction by that result. 1 6 72 6 = 12 1 x 12 = 12 6 x 12 = 72 Remaining fractions are handled in same way.

  44. 19. Division of Fractions • Actually done by multiplication, by inverting divisors. • The sign “ “ means “divided by” and the fraction to the right of the sign is always the divisor. Example: 3 1 15 3 5 3 becomes 3 4 = = X 5 4 4 1 4 20. Division of Fractions and Whole/Mixed Numbers • Whole and mixed numbers must be changed to improper fractions. Example: 3 1 51 17 3 2 3 1 becomes = = 16 3 + X 2 X 8 + 16 8 16 and 8 16 8 1 3 17 51 8 51 3 8 51 Inverts to 1 = X = X X 8 16 17 2 16 17 1 16 1 2 3 1 1 3 1 = X = 2 2 1 2 Double Cancellation

Decimal System • System of numbers based on ten (10). • Decimal fraction has a denominator of 10, 100, 1000, etc. Written on one line as a whole number, with a period (decimal point) in front. 3 digits .999 is the same as

Reading and Writing Decimals

  48. One place .0 tenths Two places .00 hundredths Three places .000 thousandths Four places .0000 ten-thousandths Five places .00000 hundred-thousandths 2. Reading and Writing Decimals (con’t) • Decimals are read to the right of the decimal point. .63 is read as “sixty-three hundredths.” .136 is read as “one hundred thirty-six thousandths.” .5625 is read as “five thousand six hundred twenty-five ten-thousandths.” 3.5 is read “three and five tenths.” • Whole numbers and decimals are abbreviated. 6.625 is spoken as “six, point six two five.”

  49. 3. Addition of Decimals • Addition of decimals is same as addition of whole numbers except for the location of the decimal point. Add .865 + 1.3 + 375.006 + 71.1357 + 735 • Align numbers so all decimal points are in a vertical column. • Add each column same as regular addition of whole numbers. • Place decimal point in same column as it appears with each number. .865 1.3 375.006 71.1357 + 735. 0 000 “Add zeros to help eliminate errors.” 0 “Then, add each column.” 0000 1183.3067

  50. 4. Subtraction of Decimals • Subtraction of decimals is same as subtraction of whole numbers except for the location of the decimal point. Solve: 62.1251 - 24.102 • Write the numbers so the decimal points are under each other. • Subtract each column same as regular subtraction of whole numbers. • Place decimal point in same column as it appears with each number. 62.1251 - 24.102 “Add zeros to help eliminate errors.” 0 38.0231 “Then, subtract each column.”
