FORMING NOUNS A. Some nouns are formed by adding

-or, or -er to the end of a verb.

-er and –or are the most common ways of ending a word which names someone or something carrying out an action: For example:

sing + er = singer

act + or = actor

B. For those words ending in e, take off the e and add –er or -or.

For example: mine + er = miner

C.

create + or = creator

If the word ends with a short vowel followed by a consonant, double the consonant and add –er or -or For example :

run +n + er = runner

NOTE: There are a few nouns that are formed by adding –ar to the verb.

Can you think of any of them?

Now add –or, –er or –ar to the word on the left to form a noun. Spell correctly.

10 – 0 = ________

TYPES OF NUMBERS Separate the number of balls into two groups with an equal number of elements in each.

8 balls can be separated or divided

NATION WORKBOOK

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2021.

If there is no remainder when a number is divided by 2 or into 2, that number is an even number.

When these 9 balls are separated or divided

When the 9 balls are separated or

into two groups, one is left over.

divided with 2 in each group, there is

one left over.

If there is a remainder when a number is divided by 2 or into 2, that number is an odd number.

An easy way to tell if a number is an odd number or even number is to look at the digit in the ones column.

In a whole number, if the digit in the ones column is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8, then it is an even number.

But if the digit in the ones column is 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9, then the number is an odd number.

Circle in pairs to divide by two. Then write if the number is odd or even. The first one has been done for you.

Examine the sentence below: The teacher sits at the desk.

This sentence contains two nouns, teacher and desk.

Is the teacher male or female? One cannot tell. The word teacher is therefore said to be of common gender because it can refer to either a male or a female.

The noun, desk, is something that is lifeless. It is therefore said to be of neuter gender.

Write the nouns in each sentence under the headings on Page 12.

COMPREHENSION

Read the following passage carefully.

Obesity has been identified as a social problem in most of our public schools. Many prominent persons have agreed and steps have been taken, with little success, to reduce and further erase this unwanted guest from our society.

Obesity results from an imbalance between energy intake, through food and drink, and energy expenditure in the form of irregular sustainable physical exercises. In other words, where energy intake exceeds energy expenditure over a sustained period of time, people (adults and children) will become overweight and obese.

Some of the causes of obesity are: regular intake of foods with a high fat content; large consumption of sugary sodas or drinks; high usage of salty preserved snacks and other “junky” foods ; lack of sustained physical exercise.

Pupils are now less mobile than before because technology has brought knowledge and other activities closer to the students. This has erased the need for them to travel to the libraries or on field trips to do research and collect data.

Additionally, gaming activities can be had at one stop - the internet. This results in them doing less physical activity.

The following questions are about the passage which you have just read. Write the answers in the spaces provided.

Use full sentences, correct spelling and grammar.

1. According to the passage, how is obesity identified? __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. How is the use of technology helping to cause obesity? __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.

VERBS A verb is the core of every sentence. Without a verb, a group of words is not a sentence. Even if a sentence contains only one word, the word must be a verb.

NATION WORKBOOK

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2021.

Every verb must have a subject or doer of the action. Many verbs tell what the subject does.

A word which tells what the subject does is called an action verb.

Adjua washes the car. (an action verb) There are some verbs that express no action at all. Instead, they express a state of being; they connect the verb to additional information about the subject.

A word that connects or links the subject of the sentence to information about that subject is called a linking verb.

Stephen is a good long jumper. (linking verb)

The verb is connects the subject Stephen to the information about him. It is not an action which Stephen can do.

A linking verb must be followed by a word that refers to the subject. That means that it must name or describe it.

Many forms of the verb to be are used as linking verbs.

Note Well: These verbs can sometimes function as a linking verb or an action verb. look

ACTION

TYPES OF NUMBERS (cont’d)

A. Prime Numbers: a prime number is a number which has only two distinct factors- the number itself and 1.

Is 5 a prime number?

1 x 5 = 5

The number 5 has two factors only - 1 and 5. Therefore, 5 is a prime number Is 9 a prime number?

1 x 9 = 9

3 x 3 = 9

The factors of 9 are 1, 3, 9 Since 9 has three factors (more than 2), it is NOT a prime number.

B. Composite numbers: A number which has more than two factors is a composite number.

9 is a composite number since it has more than two factors.

AVERAGES Average is a number expressing the middle value in a set of numbers.

A. The mean:

The mean is the average of the quantities. It is a calculated "middle" value of a set of numbers or quantities. To

calculate the mean (average), simply add up all the numbers then divide by how many numbers there are.

Find their average weight.

NATION WORKBOOK

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2021.

Solution: ( i) add up all the weights (ii) divide by how many numbers there are.

The mean is simply the sum divided by the count.

Total weight

= (86 + 46 + 64 + 72 + 46 + 82) kg = 396kg

Count Mean (Average)

=6 = 396 kg ÷ =

6

66 kg

Example 2 The sum of five consecutive whole numbers is 100. What are the numbers?

Since the numbers are consecutive whole numbers and the middle one is 20, we must find the two before 20 and the two after 20. The numbers are 18, 19, 20, 21, 22.
