5. Colour the picture in an interesting way.
The Hindu-Arabic system (also called the decimal system) was popularised in Europe by the Italian mathematician, Leonardo Fibonacci (1170–1250), who was also known as Leonardo of Pisa. Up until that time Roman numerals were used.

The decimal system uses ten digits (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) to write all numbers. Its basis is a system of place value where each column has a value that is ten times that immediately to its right. This holds true even with decimal fractions (decimals), where any number to the right of the decimal point has one tenth of its value in the units column. Unlike most number systems, the decimal system has a numeral for zero. Zero is used as a place holder in larger numbers. The method of representing numbers as shown in this activity is called decomposition.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S
Willem van de Velde the Younger lived at a time when Holland was a powerful country in world affairs because of the strength of its navy.
His specialty as an artist was the painting of ships and seascapes. Later in his career his pictures featured battle scenes at sea and ships in stormy settings. His early life was spent in Holland, the country of his birth. His father was also an artist whose specialty was marine painting. In 1672 he and his father moved to England where they were invited to set up a studio in the Queen’s House. They received many commissions for paintings from royalty.

One explanation is that the four strokes make the clock face appear balanced and symmetrical (balancing with the four strokes needed for VIII). Another dates back to 1364 when King Charles the Wise of France chided watchmaker Henry De Vick for writing IV on a tower clock face rather than IIII. Charles cut all argument short by simply declaring, ‘I am never wrong!’
o c . che e r o t r s super
The system of writing numerals used by the Romans involved using seven letters. These are: 1 = I, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500, M = 1000
The most famous clock face of all, that of Big Ben’s clock tower in London, uses IV for four.
The Roman system of writing numerals does not have a symbol for for zero.
Where a smaller number follows one that is larger, the numbers are added. If a smaller number precedes one that is larger, it is subtracted. So
four strokes (IIII). There are a number of explanations for this but nobody can prove any of them to be the exclusive truth.
m . u
1. Cut out the tiles from the jigsaw sheet.
Numbers in the thousands beyond 3000 are indicated by placing a stroke above them. For example, 4000 is written IV.
VI = 6 (5 + 1) and IV = 4 (5 – 1); LX = 60 (50 + 10) and XL = 40 (50 – 10); CX = 110 (100 + 10) and XC = 90 (100 – 10); MCMXCIX = 1999 (1 000 + [1 000 – 100] + [100 – 10] + [10 – 1]).
The generally accepted numeral for four is IV. Many clock faces using Roman numerals, however, represent four using

Altdorfer lived in Bavaria, Germany. His paintings were unusual for the time in which he lived because most did not contain human figures. Even though there is little human presence in his paintings, the landscapes he painted conveyed an image of foreboding drama. Landscape at Regensburg (the artist’s hometown) shows a wild image of nature with gathering clouds warning of an impending storm.

Millais was an Englishman. At the age of 11 he was the youngest artist ever to join The Royal Academy, Britain’s finest art school. He paid great attention to detail in his paintings and background landscapes were painted from nature. Millais and his wife had eight children. His paintings were very popular during his lifetime and sold at high prices so the family lived well.

With the discontinuation and withdrawal of one- and two-cent coins from Australian currency in 1992, the ability to round amounts to the nearest 5 cents has become essential. Amounts ending in 1 cent and 2 cents are rounded down; i.e. 71 cents or 72 cents become 70 cents etc. Amounts ending in 3 cents and 4 cents are rounded up; i.e. 73 cents or 74 cents become 75 cents etc. Amounts ending in 6 cents and 7 cents are rounded down; i.e. 76 cents or 77 cents become 75 cents etc. Amounts ending in 8 cents and 9 cents are rounded up; i.e. 78 cents or 79 cents become 80 cents etc.

Our coinage (current and previous in the case of the onecent coin) can be used to demonstrate ‘what’s happening’ when doing these subtractions; e.g. $196.05 – $134.20. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Five one-cent coins minus 0 one-cent coins equals 5. Write 5 on the answer line under the one-cent column (the hundredths column). Step 2: Look at the subtraction in the 10-cent column. Zero 10-cents minus two 10-cents can’t be done—you must trade.

Step 3: Trade from the dollar coins column. Exchange one of the 6 dollar coins for ten 10-cent coins. You now have 5 dollar coins in the dollar coins column (the units column) and ten 10-cents in the 10cents column. Proceed with the 10-cents column subtraction—ten 10-cents minus two 10-cents equals eight 10-cents. Write 8 on the answer line under the ten cent coins column.

Step 4: Do the subtraction in the dollar coins column. Five dollar coins minus 4 dollar coins equals 1 dollar coin. Write 1 on the answer line under the dollar coins column. Step 5: Do the subtraction in the 10-dollar notes (tens) column. Nine 10-dollar notes minus three 10-dollar notes equals six 10-dollar notes. Write 6 on the answer line under the 10-dollar notes column. Step 6: Finally, do the subtraction in the 100-dollar (hundreds) column. One 100-dollar note minus one 100-dollar note equals 0. There is no need to write 0 here as it does not add any meaning to the final answer. Your students will need a good knowledge of trading to do these examples.

6. Can you see why these numbers and their answers are amazing?
Thomas Eakins was an American painter who painted many scenes of outdoor sporting life. He was also a prolific painter of portraits. He often included himself as an observer in his paintings.
w ww
In The Agnew Clinic, he is seen watching a surgical operation and in The Swimming Hole he is seen treading water next to his dog, Harry. As an art teacher he stressed the importance of painting nude models and was ostracised as a result of this. Eakins was largely ignored by the art establishment during his lifetime but is now highly regarded as one of America’s greatest painters.

(x3) = 428 571
(x5) = 714 285

Such numbers are called roundabout numbers (the numbers 142 857 go around and around just as on a roundabout or, as they are better known in Australia, merry-go-round) and are extremely rare. What is just as amazing is that a dedicated mathematician sat down and did hundreds of thousands of multiplication algorithms before coming across this oddity. As if to show that it has more than one party trick, 142 857 x 7 makes 999 999. 76 923 when multiplied by 2, 5, 7, 8 and 11 gives the roundabout answers: 153 846, 384 615, 538 461, 615 384, 846 153.

Leonardo is regarded as the finest painter of the period known as the Renaissance (the period when art, learning and literature were revived [14th–16th centuries] after the period known as the Dark Ages). As well as being unsurpassed as a painter, Leonardo was also a highly accomplished engineer and scientist (among his inventions are scissors).

Such line drawings were often done and transferred to canvas or a wall as a guide for the artist.

Step 2: Multiply 37 by 5 and write the answer (185) on the second line. Step 3: Write 0 in the units column on the third line because the next number you are multiplying by is 60 (not 6). Do the multiplication by 6 and write the answer on the third line (2220).

Use the diagrams to demonstrate the first step, 9 divided by 4 (circle two groups of four tens). One will be left uncircled. There are now 19 ones left (1 ten and 9 ones) which can be circled into four groups of 4, leaving three uncircled. This gives the answer 24 r 3.

Pieter Bruegel the Elder is the best known of a family of Dutch artists. His paintings are very detailed and busy. Children’s Games is a scene showing more than 200 children at play. He was called by some, Pieter the Peasant because he liked to paint aspects of peasant life and would often mingle with peasants to get ideas for these paintings.

The Avenue at Middelharnis by Meindert Hobbema (1638–1709)
Most of the real-life mathematics that the students will do will be in the form of mini-problems such as those listed here.
Meindert Hobbema was a Dutch artist who was not well known during his lifetime.
A useful framework for doing problem work is to ask the questions What? and How? and then Answer.
This picture shows the Dutch village of Middelharnis as it appeared around 1689. The painting is a good example of linear perspective.
Example: 3 pens cost $2.10. How much will 7 cost?

How?

o c . che e r o t r s super Answer $2.10 ÷ 3 = $0.70 7 x $0.70 = $4.90

Because he was unable to make a living from painting, Hobbema’s output was not large. In 1688 he became a customs officer and was unable to devote as much time as he wished to painting.
What?
Therefore, 7 pens will cost $4.90.
Teachers may need to discuss some of the vocabulary used in these problems or provide resource materials for the students to find out some definitions. Some of the more difficult vocabulary used includes score, gross and nonagon.

by Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564)
It is believed that clock makers were influential in causing this to come about. Old clocks worked on a spring mechanism. When the spring runs down it has to be rewound. A 12-hour clock chimes 156 times in 24 hours (two lots of 78 chimes). A clock chiming up to 24 times a day would chime a total of 300 times in a day and so use more power from its spring. Such a clock would have to be rewound more frequently.
Michelangelo was an equally gifted painter and sculptor and is regarded as one of the greatest artists of all time.

Among his many great works is the ceiling of the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel. This took him about four years and shows many scenes from the Bible, including three stories about Adam and Eve and three about Noah.

Clock faces with 24 divisions on the clock face are harder to read with a numeral being placed every 15º. On a 12hour clock face a numeral is only necessary every 30º. However, 24-hour time is still popular and used in timetabling by, for example, railways and airlines.

The Miraculous Draught of Fishes
It is important that students know the meaning of such algorithms before the ‘shortcuts’ are taught and applied. For example, 3/8 x 64, should be read as ‘three-eighths of sixty-four’ (not three-eighths times sixty-four) and explained as meaning ‘three out of every eight in a total group of sixty-four’.

Student instructions
The mechanical process involved in finding the answer is to circle groups of eight and then mark (colour, cross, highlight) 3 out of every such group (i.e. 3 out of every 8 in a total group of 64). Finally, when each group of eight has been thus marked, count the total number of items marked. After doing this a number of times, some students will see that a ‘shortcut’ exists; i.e. divide the denominator of the fraction into the total amount. Multiply your answer by the numerator.

As well as portrait painting he chose religious themes as subjects for his paintings. The Feast of Belshazzar recounts a scene from the Bible story of Belshazzar, the King of Babylon (555 to 539 BC). It is said that during a feast held by Belshazzar a hand was seen to write on the wall foretelling the destruction of Babylon. Babylon did fall a short time later and Belshazzar was killed.

Just as it is legitimate to write the whole number 7 as 1 + 1 + 1 + 4, (3 x 2) + 1 or in any number of equivalent ways, so too can fractions be represented in any number of ways using what are called equivalent fractions. Children are usually taught the shortcut method of forming equivalent fractions (multiply numerator and denominator by the same amount) without understanding what this means.
R.I.C. Publications®
Ask ‘Has any icing been added to the cake?’ (No)
Explain: Yes, they are the same amount, but the cakes have just been cut up differently. That is a useful way to think of equivalent fractions. Why does the shortcut method work?
When you multiply the numerator and denominator by 3 you are effectively saying that three-thirds (one whole cut into thirds) of two-fifths is six-fifteenths. You are describing ‘one whole lot of fifths’ but the one whole is shown as three-thirds.

Bailed Up depicts a true incident described to Roberts by a friend, Bob Bates. Bates had been the stagecoach driver of a Cobb & Co. coach travelling between Glen Innes and Inverell when it was held up. Roberts created the painting from these recollections.

Tom Roberts was an important Australian artist of the latter half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Roberts thought it was important to record Australia’s pioneering days.
Such stick ups were all too common in early Australia. As well as the human drama, Roberts shows an equally dramatic hot dry landscape, typical of Australia in midsummer.
Step 2: Write down the zero and put a decimal point after it.

The students will require a knowledge of equivalent fractions to do this activity. Most of the fractions chosen can be easily converted to tenths or hundredths by multiplying numerators and denominators by equal amounts.
Some fractions, however, do not convert so easily to tenths, hundredths, thousandths etc. Here is a method you can use to convert these more difficult examples to decimals:

Step 1: Divide the top number by the bottom number. (Three goes into one zero times and one is ‘left over’.)

As you can see, the answer we will continue to get is 3. The fraction 1/3 forms the decimal zero point three recurring.
No matter how long you continue to do the division, you will continue to get the answer 3. To show this, it is written 0.3 in decimal notation. For the fraction 1/7, 142 857 continues to repeat. It is called zero point one four two eight five seven recurring and written 0.142857 in decimal notation. For the fraction 1/6 the 6 repeats. We write this 0.16 in decimal notation.

Georges Seurat was a French artist who developed a method of painting called pointillism (also divisionism). This involved compiling his paintings with a series of tiny dots so the colours are mixed by the eye (tiny red and yellow dots placed close together on the canvas would be mixed by the eye to make the colour orange etc.). Colour television produces coloured images in much the same way, colours being mixed by the eyes using tiny red, green and blue dots.

The Scapegoat
by William Holman Hunt (1827–1910)
1. Cut out the tiles from the jigsaw sheet.
The three artists founded a group and a painting style known as the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Their aim was to have serious moral issues as the subject of their paintings and represent nature with realism.
3. Match the numbers on the tiles to the answers on the backing board.
. te
Hunt went to Palestine to work on a series of religious paintings in 1854. It was here that he painted the nightmarish scene The Scapegoat. It depicts the Bible story of the goat cast into the wilderness by a Jewish chief priest who had symbolically laid people’s sins upon it.
4. Glue the tiles onto their matching spaces. 5. Colour the picture in an interesting way.

The word scapegoat has come to mean a person unfairly blamed for the wrongdoings of others, just as the poor goat was in the Bible story.

William Holman Hunt was an Englishman who studied art at Britain’s famous school of art, The Royal Academy. During his period there he became friends with the artists John Everett Millais and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
It is important to be aware of place value when doing these multiplications. The decimal point can be placed between the answer lines before any work is done. Then proceed with the multiplication as if the decimal point was not present. The students can check the placement of the decimal point in the answer by rounding any decimal numbers in the question to whole numbers and mentally multiplying them. For example, 6.5 x 9 7 x 9; therefore, the answer should be close to 63.

Vincent Van Gogh was a brilliant artist but led an unsettled life because of recurring periods of mental disturbance. He only began painting at the age of 27 but in the tenyear period of activity before he shot and killed himself he completed 1600 paintings.

He was not recognised until after his death and most of his life was lived in abject poverty. He was a friend of the French artist, Paul Gauguin, and it was after an argument with him that van Gogh cut off part of his own ear.
Most of his paintings are made up of separate unblended brush marks. Van Gogh always signed his pictures with his first name, Vincent, only. This is one of several self-portraits painted by the artist in which we see him as an intense, ravaged, restless-looking young man.
