Whole numbers vs. Natural numbers
• The whole numbers are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on (the
natural numbers and zero).
• Negative numbers are not considered "whole numbers."

• Zero is not positive or negative. Even though zero is not a positive number, it's still
considered a whole number which in turn makes it an integer, but not necessarily
a natural number.

• Natural numbers have to be positive, whole numbers.

• All natural numbers are whole numbers, but not all whole numbers are
natural numbers since zero is a whole number but not a natural number.

Highest Common Factor HCF

Take two numbers 8 10 2

What’s the biggest number that will go into both?

2 goes into 8 four times 8 ÷ 2 = 4

2 goes into 10 five times 10 ÷ 2 = 5

There’s no bigger number than 2 that goes into both

So it’s the biggest FACTOR
or the Highest Common Factor
Lowest Common Multiple LCM

Take two numbers 8 10 40

If you do the times table for each at what number do they cross
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64
10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80

The first time they cross is at 40

So it’s the Lowest Common Multiple
of these two numbers

Average
Average
• simple average of a set of values is determined by dividing the sum
total of all the values by the number of values in the set.
• The formula of simple average can be expressed as follows:

• Simple average = (Total of x1 + x2+x3…..+xn)/n

• where;
• x = values in the set
• n = number of values in the set
• For example, say ABC Inc. has 5 different items in its stock and wishes
to know the average price of its stock. The simple average can be
calculated as below:
Weighted Average
What Is a Weighted Average?
• Weighted average is a calculation that takes into account the varying degrees
of importance of the numbers in a data set. In calculating a weighted average,
each number in the data set is multiplied by a predetermined weight before
the final calculation is made.

• A weighted average can be more accurate than a simple average in which all
numbers in a data set are assigned an identical weight.

• In calculating a simple average, or arithmetic mean, all numbers are treated

equally and assigned equal weight. But a weighted average assigns weights
that determine in advance the relative importance of each data point.
Weighted average
• Weighted average is a means of determining the average of a set of values by assigning
weightage to each value in relation to their relative importance/significance.

• The formula of weighted average can be expressed as follows:

• Weighted average = (Total of x1w1+ x2w2+x3w3…..+xnwn)/(Total of w1 +w2+w3….+wn)

• where;
• x = values in the set
• w = weightage of each value in the set
• n = number of values in the set
• For example, let’s continue the same example as above. While ABC Inc has 5
different items in its stock, they are present in different quantities in stock. The
quantities in which they are present will become the ‘weights’ and thus a
weighted average calculation would be more accurate to calculate the average
price of its stock. The weighted average can be calculated as below:
More Examples
• A weighted average is most often computed to equalize the frequency of the values in a
data set. For example, a survey may gather enough responses from every age group to be
considered statistically valid, but the 18-34 age group may have fewer respondents than all
others relative to their share of the population. The survey team may weight the results of
the 18-34 age group so that their views are represented proportionately.

• However, values in a data set may be weighted for other reasons than the frequency of
occurrence. For example, if students in a football class are graded on skill, attendance, and
manners, the grade for skill may be given greater weight than the other factors.

• In a weighted average, the final average number reflects the relative importance of each
observation and is thus more descriptive than a simple average. It also has the effect of
smoothing out the data and enhancing its accuracy.

Significant Numbers
• There are 2 kinds of numbers:
• Exact: the amount of money in your account. Known with certainty.
• Approximate: weight, height—anything MEASURED. No measurement is perfect.
• When a measurement is recorded only those digits that are dependable are written down.

• If you measured the width of a paper with your ruler you might record 21.7cm.
• To a mathematician 21.70, or 21.700 is the same.
• But, to a scientist 21.7cm and 21.70cm is NOT the same
• 21.700cm to a scientist means the measurement is accurate to within one thousandth of a
cm.
 Rules
• All digits are significant starting with the first non-zero digit on the left.
• In whole numbers that end in zero, the zeros at the end are not significant.
• If zeros are sandwiched between non-zero digits, the zeros become significant.
• If zeros are at the end of a number that has a decimal, the zeros are significant.

Proportion
• A proportion is simply a statement that two ratios are equal. It can be
written in two ways: as two equal fractions a/b = c/d; or using a colon,
a:b = c:d. The following proportion is read as "twenty is to twenty-five
as four is to five.“

Writing fractions as percentages
•  To write a fraction as a percentage, we can also multiply it by 100%.
• For example:
• = x 100%

• x 100% = %

• 62.5%
Writing decimals as percentages
To write a decimal as a percentage you can
multiply it by 100%.

A school has a total enrollment of 800 students. Twenty percent of the students play
a sport. How many do not play a sport?

• If 20% play a sport then 80% do NOT play a sport.

Engineering Notation
• Engineering notation is similar to scientific notation.
In engineering notation the powers of ten are always
multiples of 3.
• A number written in engineering notation is written
in the form:
a × 10b
Where: a is a number greater than 1 and less than 999
b is an integer multiple of three
Examples:
71.24 × 103
4.32 × 10-6
320.49× 109
123.452 × 10−12
 Writing A Number in Engineering Notation

• Shift the decimal point in “groups of three” until the number before
the decimal point is between 0 and 999.
• Multiply by a power of 10 that is equal to the number of places the
decimal point has been moved.
• The power of 10 is positive if the decimal point is moved to the left
and negative if the decimal point is moved to the right.

6 Moves

Note : Because the decimal point was moved to the right, the power of 10 is negative.
SI Prefixes
• SI prefixes are a shorthand way of writing engineering notation for SI
numbers.

• The International System of Units (abbreviated SI from the French

Système International d'Unités) is the modern form of the metric
system. It is the world's most widely used system of units for science
and engineering.

classify quadrilaterals:
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel
sides.
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which both pairs of
opposite sides are parallel.
A kite is a quadrilateral in which two pairs of adjacent sides
are congruent.
A rhombus is a quadrilateral in which all sides are congruent.
A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which all angles are
congruent (90 degrees)
A square is a quadrilateral in which all four sides are
congruent and all four angles are congruent.

Types of Triangles
• Right Triangles
• A right triangle is a triangle with a
right angle (i.e. 90°).
 Type of Triangles
• Acute Triangles
• An acute triangle is a
triangle whose angles are
all acute (i.e. less than
90°). In the acute triangle
shown, a, b and c are all
acute angles.
 Types of Triangles
• Obtuse Triangles
• An obtuse triangle has one
obtuse angle (i.e. greater
than 90º). The longest side
is always opposite the
obtuse angle. In the
obtuse triangle shown, a is
the obtuse angle.
 Types of Triangles
• Equilateral Triangles
• An equilateral triangle
has all three sides equal
in length. Its three
angles are also equal
and they are each 60º.
•
 Types of Triangles
• Isosceles Triangles
• An isosceles triangle has two
sides of equal length. The
angles opposite the equal
sides are also equal.
•
Types of Triangles
• Scalene Triangles
• A scalene triangle has no sides of equal
length. Its angles are also all different in
size.
 Polygons

• The Rectangle
A rectangle is a four-sided shape where
every angle is a right angle (90°).
Also opposite sides are parallel and of
equal length
 Quadrilaterals
 The Rhombus
 A rhombus is a four-sided shape where all sides have equal
length.
Also opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are
equal.
Another interesting thing is that the diagonals (dashed lines
in second figure) of a rhombus bisect each other at right
angles.
 Quadrilaterals
• The Square
A square has equal sides and
every angle is a right angle
(90°)
Also opposite sides are
parallel.
A square also fits the
definition of a rectangle (all
angles are 90°), and a
rhombus (all sides are equal
length).
 Quadrilaterals
• The Parallelogram
Opposite sides are parallel and equal in length, and
opposite angles are equal (angles "a" are the same, and
angles "b" are the same)
(NOTE: Squares, Rectangles and Rhombuses are all
Parallelograms!)
 Quadrilaterals
• The Trapezoid (or Trapezium)
• A trapezoid (UK: trapezium) has one pair of opposite sides parallel.
It is called a regular trapezoid if the sides that aren't parallel are equal
in length and both angles coming from a parallel side are equal, as
shown.
A trapezoid is not a parallelogram because only one pair of sides is
parallel
 Other Polygons
• Pentagon
• A five-sided polygon. The
sum of the angles of a
pentagon is 540 degrees.
 Other Polygons
• Hexagon
• A six-sided polygon. The
sum of the angles of a
hexagon is 720 degrees.
 Other Polygons
• Heptagon
• A seven-sided polygon.
The sum of the angles
of a heptagon is 900
degrees.
Other Polygons

angles of a nonagon is 1260 degrees.
Other Polygons
• Decagon
• A ten-sided polygon. The sum of the
angles of a decagon is 1440 degrees.
 Circle
 Circle
 A circle is the collection of
points in a plane that are
all the same distance from
a fixed point. The fixed
point is called the centre.
A line segment joining the
centre to any point on the
circle is called a radius.

Simultaneous equations
Methods
• Three methods to solve
• substitution, elimination and equalization
Simultaneous Equations

5y = 4x – 7 (Eq 1) 5y = 12y – 7
3x – 9y = 0 (Eq 2) 7 = 12y – 5y
7 = 7y
Rearrange Eq 2 for x y = 7/7 = 1
3x – 9y = 0
3x = 9y Place y into Eq 2
x = 3y 3x – 9y = 0
3x – 9(1) = 0
Sub x into Eq 1 3x – 9 = 0
5y = 4x – 7 3x = 9
5y = 4(3y) – 7 x = 9/3 = 3

Therefore

Example:
Convert "63 = 216" to the equivalent logarithmic expression.
To convert, the base remains the same, but the 3 and the 216 switch sides.
Giving:
log6(216) = 3
Examples
• Log5 625
• Log8 0.125
• Log2 x = 5
• Log4 x = 0
• Logx 64 = 2
• Logy 216 = 3
Examples
• Log5 625 • 4
• Log8 0.125 • -1
• Log2 x = 5 • 32
• Log4 x = 0 • 1
• Logx 64 = 2 • 8
• Logy 216 = 3 • 6
