ESTIMATION Estimation may be explained as a rough or sensible guess fo a value or calculation. Although, the estimated value is not correct, it gives us an idea of what the correct answer should be. The common units of length are kilometer (km), meters (m), centimeters (cm), millimeters (mm).Mass = (Tonne, kilogram (kg) gramme (g). …

The perimeter of a plane shape is the length of its outside boundary or the distance around its edges. Irregular shape An irregular shape does not have a definite shape. To determine the perimeter of such shape, string or thread can be used to measure it. Place the string around the edge, then straighten it …
Plane shapes are two-dimensional shapes bounded by lines known as sides. Any shape drawn on a plane is called a two-dimensional shape (or 2-D shapes for short). When we say a figure is two- dimensional, we mean it can be measured along x and y axes i.e. it has length and width or breadth. …
SIMPLE EQUATIONS An algebraic equation is two algebraic expressions separated by an equal sign. The left hand side is equal to the right hand side (LHS = RHS) e.g 7 + 3 = 10, 20 -6 = 14, 4 x 5 = 20, 35/7 = 5 Translation of algebraic equations into words: Any letter of …
SOLUTION OF PROBLEMS ON SIMPLE ALGEBRAIC EQUATION Solving equation by balance method Equation with bracket Equation with fraction. Solving Equation by Balance Method To solve an equation means to find the values of the unknown in the equation that makes it true. For example: 2x 9 = 15. 2x 9 is on …
ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION Definition with examples Expansion of algebraic expression Factorization of simple algebraic expressions Definition with examples In algebra, letters stand for numbers. The numbers can be whole or fractional, positive or negative. Example Simplify the following -5 x 2y -3a x -6b -14a/7 -1/3 of 36×2 Solution 1) -5 x 2y = …
ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF DIRECTED NUMBERS Directed numbers are the positive and negative numbers in any given number line e.g -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 The (+) and (-) signs show the direction from the origin (o). To add a positive number move to the …
APPROXIMATION OF NUMBERS ROUNDING OFF TO DECIMAL PLACES Digits 1,2,34 are rounded down to Zero, while digits 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are rounded up to 1 e.g. 126=130 to 2 digits A significant figure begins from the first non-zero digit at the left of a number. Digit should be written with their correct …
Interest is the money paid for saving a particular amount of money. Simple interest can be calculated using the formula Simple interest I = PRT/100 Where P= principal, R=rate & T= time Also total amount =principal +interest Example 1 Find the simple interest on N60, 000 for 5 years at 9% per annum …
Fractions and Percentages A fraction can be converted to decimal by dividing the numerator by its denominator. It can be changed to percentage by simply multiplying by 100. Example 5.1 Change 3/8 into a decimal and percentage Convert 0.145 to percentage Solution 1) 3/8 = 0.375 in decimal 3/8 x 100% = 37.5% 2) 0.145×100=14.5% …
Highest Common Factors Highest common factor is the greatest number which will divide exactly into two or more numbers. For example 4 is the highest common factor (HCF) of 20 & 24. i.e. 20 = 1, 2, (4), 5, 10, 20 24= 1, 2, 3, (4), 6, 8, 12, 24 Example 1: Find the …
Difference between Whole Numbers and Decimal Numbers Whole number is a number without fraction. For example 1, 2, 3, 41000, 38888 are examples of whole numbers.71/2 is not a whole number. A decimal number is a fractional number less than 1. It is smaller to a whole number. Examples – 0.1,0.01,0.001etc Whole Numbers in …
Definition of Integer An integer is any positive or negative whole number Example: Simplify the following (+8) + (+3) (ii) (+9) – (+4) Solution (+8) + (+3) = +11 (ii) (+9) – (+4) = 9-4 = +5 or 5 Evaluation Simplify the following (+12) (+7) (ii) 7-(-3)-(-2) Indices The plural of index …
