(5+8)+2=5+(8+2)=(5+2)+8) the alteration of the position of the brackets does not change the 13+2=5+10 = 7 +8
result
15 + 15 = 15

(5x8) x 2 =5x(8x2) = (5x2)+8 ) The alteration of the position of the brackets does not change the 40x2 = 5x16 = 10x8 result.
80 80 = 80
Conclusion : the associative property holds for both addition and multiplication.

Commutative property
Example
4+3 = 3+4 What you start with does not affect the result
7 7
4x3 = 3x4 (What you start with does not affect the result
12 = 12

LESSON 1:
SUB TOPIC: DIVISIBILITY TESTS
CONTENT: Divisibility tests of 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Divisibility for 2.
A Number is divisible by 2 if the digit in the one’s place is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 eg 1460

Test for 3:
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 eg 741 = 7 + 4 + 1 = 12

Test for 4:
A number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by its last two digits is divisible by 4. eg 572. The last two digits are 7 and 2 therefore
the number formed is 72 which is divisible by 4. Hence 572 is divisible by 4.

Test for five (5):

A number is divisible by 5 if the last digit in the ones place is either 0 or 5. eg 360 or 805.

LESSON 2:
SUB TOPIC: DIVISIBILITY TESTS
CONTENT: Divisibility tests for numbers 6 to 10.

Test for 6:
A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by 2 and 3. In other words a number is divisible by 6 if it is even and the sum of its digits is
divisible by 3.
Example:
618 is divisible by 6 since it is an even number and the sum of its digits 6 + 1 + 8 = 15 is divisible by 3.

738 is divisible by 6 since it is an even number and the sum of its digits 7 + 3 + 8 = 18 is divisible by 3. Therefore 738 is divisible by 6.

Test for 7:
When the last digit of a number is doubled and the result is subtracted from the number formed by the remaining digits, the outcome
is divisible by 7.

Example: Take the number 861. the last digit is 1 and the number formed by the remaining digits is 86, double 1 to give (1+1)= 2
Subtract 2 from 86 to give (86 – 2) = 84
84 is divisible by 7. Hence 861 is also divisible by 7.
Test for 8:

A number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by the last three digits is divisible by 8.
Example:
In the number 7960,760 is number formed by the last three digits. It is divisible by 8 therefore 7960 is divisible by 8.

Test for 9:

A numbers is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.

Example: 198 the sum of 198 is 1+9+8 = 18
18 is divisible by 9 therefore 198 is divisible by 9.

Test for 10:

A number is divisible by 10 if the digit in the ones place is 0 eg 70, 60, 120, 3010.
A number which is divisible by 10 is also divisible by 2 and 5.

Test for 11:

A number is divisble by 11 if the difference between the sum of the digits in even places and the sum of the digits in the odd place is
zero (0) or divisible by 11.

eg Even position: 7 3 3 6 8 9

Odd position
Sum of the numbers in odd positions = 7 + 3 + 8 = 18
Sum of the numbers in even positions = 7 + 3 + 0 = 10
Difference between sums = 21 – 10 = 11
Since difference is divisible by 11
 the number 676390 is divisible by 11.

CONTENT: Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event.
Probability: Desired chance
Total chance
Example: A basket has 2 ripe mangoes and 6 row mangoes. What is the probability of Twaha picking a ripe mango at
random?
Solution: Total number of events is picking whatever is in the basket, whether ripe or not. So the number of chances is raw
+ ripe. Then the desired chance are the ripe mango.
Probability: Desired chance = 2
Total chance 2+6

SUB TOPIC: THE SUM OF INTERIOR ANGLES OF A REGULAR POLYGON

CONTENT: Polygon
Examples:
1. The interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108. Calculate the sum of all interior angles of the polygon.
Solution:
A pentagon has 5 sides.
Each int angle = 108
The sum of interior angles = 108 x 5
= 5400.

2. Calculate the interior angle sum of a regular polygon with 7 sides.

Solution:
Int angle sum = 180 (n-2)
180 (7 – 2)
= 180 x 5
= 9000

3. Each exterior angle of a polygon is 30. Calculate the sum of the interior angles of a polygon.
All etx. S The sum of int S
Each ext 1800 (n – 2)
301 1800 ( 12-2)
30 180 x 10
= 12 sides = 18000

4. The sum of interior angles of a regular polygon is 1440.

(a) How many sides has the polygon?
(b) What is the size of each exterior angle of the polygon?

CONTENT: Examples
1. Find the value of x in the figure.
Sum of int S of triangle = 1800
X + 200 + 2x + 2x + 10 = 1800
X+200 5x + 300 = 1800
5x + 300 – 300 = 1800 – 300
5x = 1500
2x 2x+100 5x = 1500

2. Find the value of y.
2y + y + 10 + 2y + 10 + 900 = 3600
2y + y + 2y + 10 + 10 + 90 0= 3600
2y+100 900 5y + 110 = 3600
