DIVISIBILITY

divisibility rules divisible (by) prime number composite number (or compound number) common multiples common divisors

prime factors write a number in prime factor form prime numbers between them highest common factor (HCF) or greatest common factor (GCF) lowest common multiple (LCM) or least common multiple (LCM)

DEFINITIONS:

The multiples of an integer are found by multiplying the integer by another.

The divisors of an integer (or factors) are those numbers that divide the number without leaving a remainder.

A prime number is a natural number that has only two divisors, itself and one. (1 is not a prime/compound number)

A number is a compound number (or composite number) when it is not a prime number.

The lowest common multiple (LCM) of two or more numbers is the smallest of the multiples common to all of them.

The highest common factor (HCF) of two or more numbers is the largest of the divisors common to all of them.

Bilingual Program The Divisibility Rules These rules let you test if one number is divisible by another, without having to do too much calculation! A number is divisible by:

If:

Example:

The last digit is even (0,2,4,6,8)

128 is 129 is not

The sum of the digits is divisible by 3

381 (3+8+1=12, and 12รท3 = 4) Yes

The last 2 digits are divisible by 4

The last digit is 0 or 5

1312 is (12รท4=3) 7019 is not

175 is 809 is not 114 (it is even, and 1+1+4=6 and 6รท3 = 2) Yes

The number is divisible by both 2 and 3 308 No If you double the last digit and subtract it from the rest of the number and the answer is: 672 (Double 2 is 4, 67-4=63, and 63รท7=9) Yes

0, or divisible by 7

905 No

(Note: you can apply this rule to that answer again if you want)

The sum of the digits is divisible by 9

1629 (1+6+2+9=18, and again, 1+8=9)Yes

(Note: you can apply this rule to that answer again if you want)

2013 (2+0+1+3=6) No

The number ends in 0

If you sum every second digit and then subtract all other digits

220 is 221 is not

1364 ((3+4) - (1+6) = 0) Yes

and the answer is: 3729 ((7+9) - (3+2) = 11) Yes 0, or divisible by 11

25176 ((5+7) - (2+1+6) = 3) No

However, we do have to include the __________________ (-) when we write negative numbers.

Bilingual Program Unit 2: FRACTIONS Fraction. To divide. Numerator or top. Denominator or bottom. Proper fraction: numerator is less than denominator Improper fraction: numerator is greater than or equal to denominator Mixed number: it contains a whole number part and a fractional part smaller than 1. Equivalent fractions: fractions that represent the same number Parts (of an all) Unit Common denominator. Amplify (a fraction) Simplify (a fraction): we can simplify a fraction if the numerator and denominator have a common factor. A fraction is in its simplest form when it cannot be simplified any more. The reciprocal. Ex: Âź is called the reciprocal of 4. Reading of fractions:

1 2

= a half

3 4

= three fourths / three quarters

9 8

= nine eighths

17 2

Bilingual Program

Bilingual Program DECIMAL NUMBERS The zero and the counting numbers (1,2,3,...) make up the set of whole numbers. But not every number is a whole number. Our decimal system lets us write numbers of all types and sizes, using a clever symbol called the decimal point. As you move right from the decimal point, each place value is divided by 10.

Whole part

Decimal part

The decimal point helps us to keep track of where the "ones" place is. It's placed just to the right of the ones place. As we move right from the decimal point, each number place is divided by 10. We can read the decimal number 127.578 as "one hundred twenty seven and five hundred seventyeight thousandths". Hint #1: Remember to read the decimal point as "and" Hint #2: When writing a decimal number that is less than 1, a zero is normally used in the ones place: 0.526 not .526 But in daily life, we'd usually read it as "one hundred twenty seven point five seven eight." PRACTICE NOW! 1.- Write how to read this decimal numbers in two different ways: a) 45.6 b) 0.897 c) 19.12 d) 2.1234 e) 1,987.33 f) 33.21087 2.- Write as a decimal number: a) Two hundred thirty-six thousand and six hundred ten thousandths b) Three hundred twenty-one and seven tenths c) Five hundred forty-eight thousandths  d) Five hundred and forty-eight thousandths  e) One thousand one hundred fifty three point eight five seven zero nine 

Bilingual Program 3.- Use the digits 0, 4 and 6 and a decimal point to write five different decimals. 4.- a) Write the smallest possible decimal between zero and one that uses the digits 9, 0, 4, 2, 5, and 7 exactly once. b) Write the greatest possible decimal between zero and one that uses the digits 9, 0, 3, 1, 6 and 5 exactly once.

Two equations for which you need a common solution are called simultaneous equations. Simultaneous equations can be solved by the method of substitution or elimination. By substitution: you substitute (or replace) one of the unknown with an equivalent expression or value. By elimination: the original equations are combined to eliminate one of the unknowns making an equation that is easier to solve.

Bilingual Program SOLVING SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS: Solve the following system using addition.

4x – 3y = 25 –3x + 8y = 10 Hmm... nothing cancels. But I can multiply to create a cancellation. I will multiply the first row by 3 and the second row by 4; then I'll add down and solve.

Solving, I get that y = 5. Neither equation looks particularly better than the other for back-solving, so I'll flip a coin and use the first equation. 4x – 3(5) = 25

4x – 15 = 25 4x = 40 x = 10 Remembering to put the x-coordinate first in the solution, I get:

(x, y) = (10, 5)

Solve the following system by substitution.

2x – 3y = –2 4x + y = 24 I'll solve the second equation for y:

4x + y = 24 y = –4x + 24 Now I'll plug this in ("substitute it") for "y" in the first equation, and solve for x:

2x – 3(–4x + 24) = –2 2x + 12x – 72 = –2 14x = 70 x = 5 Copyright © 2011 All Rights Reserved Now I can plug this x-value back into either equation, and solve for y. But since I already have an expression for "y =", it will be simplest to just plug into this:

y = –4(5) + 24 = –20 + 24 = 4 Then the solution is (x,

y) = (5, 4).

c d

“a is to b as c is to d”

Cross products Constant of proportionality or proportionality constant Directly proportional3 Inversely proportional4 Double, treble, quadruple Percentage, percentage of % = Percent (Ex: 65% de … = sixty-five percent of …) How to calculate percents.

Ratio: A ratio is a comparison of two numbers. We generally separate the two numbers in the ratio with a colon (:). Suppose we want to write the ratio of 8 and 12. 1

We can write this as 8:12 or as a fraction 8/12, and we say the ratio is eight to twelve.

Proportion: A proportion is an equation with a ratio on each side. It is a statement that two ratios are equal. 3/4 = 6/8 is an example of a proportion. 2

When one of the four numbers in a proportion is unknown, cross products may be used to find the unknown number. This is called solving the proportion. Question marks or letters are frequently used in place of the unknown number. Example: Solve for n: 1/2 = n/4.Using cross products we see that 2 × n = 1 × 4 =4, so 2 × n = 4. both sides by 2, n = 4 ÷ 2 so that n = 2.

Two quantities are in direct proportion if their ratio stays the same as the quantities increase or decrease.

Two quantities are in inverse proportion when one increases at the same rate as the other decreases.

Unit 8: Functions A function is a relationship between two sets that relates each element of the first set with exactly one element of the second. One Important Thing!

"...exactly one..." means that a function is single valued.

This is NOT OK in a function

But this is OK in a function

In a function, we have two variables (one of each set). The variables are typically named x and y: x is the independent variable (the input), and y is the dependent variable (the output) We represent the independent variable in the xaxis (abscissas) and the dependent in the y-axis (ordinate) The pair (x , y) is called an ordered pair. When we represent the ordered pairs on a cartesian coordinate system we get the graph of the function. The point where the two axes intersect is called the origin. It is the point (0 , 0) The values that x may assume are called the domain of the function. The values of y that correspond to the values of x, are called the range.

A population is any entire collection of people, animals, plants or things from which we may collect data. It is the entire group we are interested in, which we wish to describe or draw conclusions about. 6

A sample is a group of units selected from a larger group (the population). By studying the sample it is hoped to draw valid conclusions about the larger group. 7

A unit is a person, animal, plant or thing which is actually studied by a researcher; the basic objects upon which the study or experiment is carried out. 8

Number of elements/items of the population/sample.

The mid-interval value is the value halfway along the interval. The mean is the sum of the values divided by the number of values. 11 The mode is the value that occurs most often. 10

MATHS SCHOOL DAY

In 2000, the Spanish Federation of Societies of Mathematics Teachers (FESPM) decided to propose the day 12th May as the Maths School Day. Since then, in schools we celebrate activities related to Maths to commemorate it. The aim is to share this day with all the education community and society in general.

Why on May 12th? This date was chosen because it was the day when Pedro Puig Adam was born. He was a Spanish mathematician, internationally well known in the field of mathematics education.

Pedro Puig Adam (Barcelona, May 12th 1900 - Madrid, January 12th 1960) Spanish mathematician. He published about thirty educational works, trying to contribute to the renovation of the teaching of the mathematics in Spain. He was in contact with majority of the groups in Europe with advanced ideas about teaching maths in the fifties. His work has been more recognized abroad than in his own country.
