Week 1
Reading and Writing Numbers
Periods – divided Hindu-Arabic numerals (separated
by commas)
Important Features of Decimal System

Addition
Commutative Principle – when adding two numbers, the order in which to add them does not
affect sum
Associative Principle – when there are 3 or more numbers, the way they are grouped does not
affect sum
Identity Number – adding zero (0) to a number does not change number
Subtraction
We subtract the subtrahend from the minuend
Multiplication
Fast way of adding
Principles of Multiplication
The Commutative Law of Multiplication
- changing the orders of the factors does not change the product
The Associative Law
- factors may be grouped together and treated as one product without changing value of
product
The Distributive Law
- certain variable is to be assigned and distributed to each of the other variables
The Identity Number for Multiplication
- a number is not changed when it is multiplied by 1
The Zero Principle of Multiplication
- when a number is multiplied by 0, the product is always 0
Division
Principles of Division
Identity Number for Division
- dividing a number by 1 does not change the number
When a number (not 0) is divided by itself, the quotient is 1
When 0 is divided by a number (not 0), the quotient is 0
Zero can never be used as divisor
The quotient is changed if the dividend and the divisor are multiplied by the same number (not
0).
Week 2
Changing Fraction to Decimal

Week 3
Ratio and Proportions
Ratio – relation between two numbers or magnitudes
of the same kind
Rate – compares quantities of different units
Proportion - a part, share, or number considered in
comparative relation to a whole
Types of Proportion
Direct - describes the direct relationship between two quantities. In simple words, if one quantity
increases, the other quantity also increases and vice-versa.
Indirect/Inverse - describes the indirect relationship between two quantities.
Partitive - quantity is divided into two or more equal or unequal parts
