The Hindu- Arabic System

The Hindu- Arabic Numeral system or Hindu Numeration System, a positional decimal numeral
system is the most common system for a symbolic representation of numbers in the world. It was
invented between the 1st and 4th centuries by Indian Mathematicians. This is a set of 10 symbols-
1,2, 3,4,5.,6,7,8,9,0- that represents number in the decimal number system. In the Hindu- Arabic
system the number 4, 578 means: 8 ones, 7 tens, 5 hundreds and 4 thousands.

There are 4 attributes:

1. It uses 10 digits or symbols that can be used in combination o represent all possible
numbers.
The digits are : 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
2. It groups by tens, probably because we have 10 digits on our two hands. Interestingly, the
word ‘digit’, means: fingers or toes.
3. In the system, ten ones are replaced by( 1 TEN), ten tens are replaced by ( HUNDRED)
4. It uses a Place Value, starting from LEFT to RIGHT.

The system is additive and multiplicative. The value of the numeral is found by multiplying each
place value by its corresponding digit and then adding the resulting products.

Numeral Value: 4 x 1000+ 6x 100+ 8x 10 + 7x1= 4,687

 Think of a number, having 4 or less than four digits. Write 2 facts about the
number.

Homework:

 Design a identification card, to include a number which they will expand, during a oral
quiz. See below-:

Name : Justin Beckles

I.d. # : 3479 ( 3 x 1000)+ (4 x 100)+ (7x10)+ (9x1)

 The Decimal Number System

The decimal numeration system, also called the Hindu-Arabic or Arabic, number system in
Mathematics,

Also called the base - ten and occasionally called denary, has ten as its base, which in decimal, is
written 10, as is the base in every positional numeral system.

It is the numerical base, widely used in modern civilizations.

The number system we use on a daily basis, based on 10 digits: it also requires a decimal point,
which is used to represent the decimal fractions. For example:

45.7: Which is read: forty- five point seven ( 4 tens five ones and seven tenths).

The Place Value System

L. Bingham- Hunter Page 2

 Lesson Plan for Week1: February 6-9 2017.
 Place Value tells the position a digit occupies in a set of digits. For example : the Ones
position’. In the number 675, the digit ‘5’ is in the Ones position. When one looks at a
numeral and calls its name without giving any value, then one is giving the Face Value,
For example: ‘5’ in the number 675.The True Value is the value of the digit. For
example: 5, as in (5 x ONES).

Examine the Place Value Table below-:

Activity 2

 Coin Toss

Work with a partner and create a Number card, bearing 1-6 digit numbers. They will underline a
digit . By taking turns, they will toss a coin, having established ‘Head’ or ‘Tail’. A value count of
‘four’ will be assigned to both ( Head and Tail). Based on the toss, the player will move 4
places, from left ad will record the PV, FV and True Value of the underlined digit.

Teaching Points

 Roman Numerals

In the Base Ten Number System, ten digits are used: 0, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 t write a number. He
Romans used capital letters to represent numbers. Special rules govern how the numerals are
written. This system does not use a Place Value System.

Rule # 1: If a symbol of equal or less value is placed to the RIGHT of another symbol, ADD the
value of both symbols.

Activity

 Facilitator will encourage small group activities, in which individuals will be given
coloured cards to represent the Roman Numerals. Individuals who will be required to
represent symbols that represent a low value will use specific colour. See below-:

 Based on the rule that is highlighted, two participants will face the class and demonstrate.
One the answer is provided. It will be noted in their books.

Notebook Activity

 Convert these Roman Numerals to Base Ten Numerals.

Rule # 2

 If a symbol of less value is placed to the LEFT of a symbol of greater value, you subtract
the value of the symbol of less value from the value of the symbol with a greater value.

See below-:

IV 5-1=4 One before five
XC 100-10=90 Ten before one hundred
IX 10-1=9 One before 10
XL 50-10= 40 Ten before fifty

Activity

Facilitator will engage the class in an activity in which 4 participants are given a card bearing the
following symbols-:

Another group will be used to do a similar activity-:

C L X

Notebook Task:

 Convert the following Roman numerals to Base Ten Numerals -:

1. IV 2. IX 3. XL 4. XC 5. XIX 6. XXIX

Rule #3

 The numerals VL, D cannot be used more than once in any number. This is so, as if one
writes VV, this represents ‘10’. A symbol already exists for this number. This symbol is
‘X’

Notebook Task-:

 Convert the following Base Ten Numerals to Roman Numerals:

a. 8 b. 13 c. 17 d. 20 e. 25 f. 44 g. 104

Homework 1

 Design an item of clothing or jewellery, using the Roman Numeral Symbols, followed by
an identification of the value of the symbols. This aspect will be presented on a sheet of
paper.

Homework 2

 Designing a Math Scrapbook to highlight the concepts that will be taught, on a weekly
basis, as well as creating a glossary of Mathematical terms .

The facilitator engaged in an Orienttaion Seeion wth the particpants, which at the time, stood at
5. The general objectives and expectations, regarding academic requirements , discplne and
conduct were all emphassed.

Miss Ebanks extended her official welcome and added her expectations of all particpants.
