Mathematics for school kids

Have you just start studying a course and you have been told that you need knowledge in mathematics?

Read the following quotation first before you read the solution to the above question.

 The beauty of mathematics lies in the fact that it furnishes a universal language, which characterizes in a uniform way, processes of quite different physical appearances. 

Quotation from Richard Bellman

If you have not understood the above quotation, do not worry. This is what you have to understand: the rest of this page.

Many vocational and technical courses including courses at the higher level (university) expect you to have knowledge in math. Examples of such courses are industrial technical courses such as Electricity and commercial courses such as accounting. In most, if not all Anglo-Saxon Universities, in order to study economy you need knowledge in mathematics. One of the amazing courses today is computer programming (software). To do the minimum in computer programming today, you need basic knowledge in mathematics.

In this course we give you that knowledge. We give you the mathematical knowledge you need to do those courses. We have an easygoing system (teaching approach) for everybody.

Are you the type who started studying mathematics sometime ago and then gave up along the way? Mathematics is very important. This is the opportunity for you to do mathematics successfully. One of the main reasons why people drop out of math course is because they do not take the initial chapters of mathematics seriously. What you learn today in math, you use it to learn something else in math tomorrow. The learning process builds up like that. So if you do not take your math lesson today seriously, you will not be able to understand what is taught tomorrow. From middle schools, many of the students who finally specialize in arts, are the students who did not take their math lessons seriously in the early years of the course. Many of these type of students have the tendency to enjoy themselves all the time and would not do their assignments seriously or not do them at all, and during class periods they would be making jokes. If you are that type, know that math is important. This is the opportunity for you to do math. The reason is simple: our system (step-by-step approach and special methods) to teach math makes you serious all through without you really being conscious of it. You learn conveniently.

Maximum Duration of Course

10 months.

You can do it for as short as 3 months, if you want to.

After the Course

After the course, you should be able to write any entrance examination in math to do any preliminary university studies that requires math. You should be able to do any vocational or technical course so far as mathematics is concerned. You will be able to write exit middle school (ordinary level) exams so far as mathematics is concerned.

Welcome

The only thing you need to know in order to do this course is to be able to recognise numbers from 1 to 1000. That is all! So, we can begin.

Hundreds, Tens and Units

The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are call units.

10 is the number ten. 20 is made up of two tens; 30 is made up of three tens; 40, four tens and so on until 90, which is made up of nine tens. The number 42 read as Forty Two, consists of four tens and two units. The number 57, read as Fifty Seven, consists of five tens and seven units.

100 is the number, One Hundred. Now, 200 consists of two hundreds; 300 consists of three hundreds; 400, four hundreds and so on until 900, which is made up of nine hundreds. The number 325, read as Three Hundred and Twenty Five, consists of three hundreds, two tens and and five units. The number 680, read as Six Hundred and Eighty consists of six hundreds, eight tens and zero unit.

The digits of any number less than 1000 can be written under the headings of Hundreds, Tens and Units as in the followong example:

H	T	U
4	0	6

The number is read as Four Hundred and Six. Hundreds, is abbreviated to H. Tens, is abbreviated to T and Units is abbreviated to U. The number has four hundreds, zero tens and six units. So 4 is under the H heading; 0 is under the T heading; 6 is under the U heading.

Example

Write the digit of the following number under the Hundred, Tens and Units headings: 6

Solution

H	T	U
		6

Example

Write the digits of the following number under the Hundred, Tens and Units headings:15

Solution

H	T	U
	1	5

Example

Write the digits of the following number under the Hundred, Tens and Units headings:70

Solution

H	T	U
	7	0

Example

Write the digits of the following number under the Hundred, Tens and Units headings:822

Solution

H	T	U
8	2	2

Example

Write the digits of the following number under the Hundred, Tens and Units headings:900

Solution

H	T	U
9	0	0
