From right to left, we divide a whole number into 3 parts Millions,
Thousands and Normal.
Each of this part, consisits of Hundreds, Tens and Ones.
The MTN Methods help pupils to identify the place value and then
read the number and write number words in numerals.

ROUND OFF

Rules To remember for rounding off
* 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 - retain the digit
* 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 - add by 1
Example 1 :-
Round off 725 246 to the nearest tens (10)
+1
Circle the tens 7 2 5 2 4 6
# Since the digit to the right of (behind)the circle is larger than 5,
then add to the digit 4 and a zero after it. The answer will be 725 250.
Example 2 :-
Round off 418 327 to the nearest hundreds (100)
0 0
Circle the hundreds 4 1 8 3 2 7

# Since the digit to the right of (behind) the circle is less than 5, the
3 remains but add 2 zeroes after it. The answer will then be 418 300.





ADDITION
How to Add Repeatedly
Example :-
22 432 + 3 012 + 524 =
22 432 25 444
+ 3 012 + 524
25 444 25 968
OR
22 432
+ 3 012
25 444
+ 524
25 968

SUBTRACTION

How to Subtract Repetedly

Example :-

22 432 - 3 012 - 524 =
22 432 25 444
- 3 012 - 524
19 402 18 896
OR
22 432
- 3 012
19 420
- 524
18 896

MULTIPLICATION

Method 1 :- Standard Written Method

80 283
x 46
481 698 ( 80 283 x 6)
+ 3 211 320 ( 80 283 x 40)
3 693 018



Example :- Multiply 46 by 80 283 = 3 693 018

Method 2 :- Lattice Multiplication

FRACTIONS

IMPROPER FRACTION

# Consist a larger numerator than the denominator
Example 1 :-

3 Numerator (Larger)
2 Denominator ( Smaller)
Read as three over two or three halves

Example 2 :-

Write seven over three in numeral
We write it 7
3

MIXED NUMBERS

Mixed numbers consists of a whole number and a proper fraction
1
2
4

Whole Number Proper Fraction

We read as Two and One Over Four or Two and One Quarter


DECIMALS

Round off to the nearest tenths

Round off 12.302 to the nearest tenths
i. Determine the place value you want to round off (the rounding digit)
and circle it.
ii. Look at the digit just to the right (behind) and underline it.
(the digit just to the right)
1 2 . 3 0 2 = 1 2 . 3

(the rounding digit)


Note : -
If the underlined digit is less than 5, do not change the rounding digit but drop
all digits ti the right of it.

If that digit is greater than or equal to five, add one to the rounding digit and
drop all digits to the right of it. (See example as shown below)
