A. DECIMAL NOTATIONS

People use decimals every day, particularly in calculations involving measurements.

Decimals are one of the types of numbers, which has a whole number and the fractional part
separated by a decimal point. The dot present between the whole number and fraction part is
called the decimal point. For example, 34.5 is a decimal number.

The number line between 0 and 1 can be divided into 10 parts. Each of these 10 parts is 1/10, a tenth.

PLACE VALUE OF DECIMALS.

The place value of decimal begins with tenth (1/10), hundredth (1/100), thousandth (1/1000)
etc. from the digit to the right of the decimal point.
 B. DECIMALS IN WORDS AND FIGURES

To write a decimal in word form, follow these steps:

 Write the whole number part.

 Write "and" for the decimal point.
 Write the decimal part the same way you would write a whole number.
 Write the. place value. of the last digit.

C. WRITING DECIMALS IN EXPANDED FORM AND SHORT FORM

EXAMPLES:
Write the following in expanded form.
a. 12.345 = 10+2+0.3(3/10)+0.04(4/100)+0.005(5/1000)

Or 10
 2
0.3
0.04
+ 0.005

12.345

D. ROUNDING DECIMALS
To round decimals to the nearest whole number, look at the digit in the tenth position.
5 or greater: round up to the next whole number.
Less than 5: the whole number remains the same.
Examples.
Round 11.17, 7.5, and 27.83 to the nearest whole number.
Solution
a. 11.7 is 11 as the tenth digit is less than 5
b. 7.5 is 8 as the tenth digit is 5
c. 27.83 is 28 as the tenth digit is greater than 5.

Topic: LINES OF SYMMETRY

Learning objectives:

1. Recognize reflective symmetry in a regular polygon.

2. Identify and draw lines of symmetry in a regular polygon.
Key words: symmetry, reflective, lines of symmetry, mirror line, regular polygon.
Ref: Hodder Cambridge mathematics. Pages 21, and 22. Collins mathematics book 5. Pages 74
and 75
A. Symmetry in a regular polygon.
Symmetry is a property of an object that allows us to divide it into two identical halves,
which are mirror images of each other. For example,

B. REFLECTIVE SYMMETRY
Both halves match as if seen in a mirror. The dividing line is called the ‘line of symmetry’
C. REGULAR POLYGONS AND LINES OF SYMMETRY

Evaluation
Draw dotted lines to indicate lines of symmetry in each shape.

TOPIC: FREQUENCY CHART (HISTOGRAM)
OBJECTIVE :
1. Interpret frequency chart.
2. Draw a frequency chart-histogram
KEY WORDS : frequency, frequency chart, histogram, tally.

A. FREQUENCY CHARTs
A frequency chart looks like a bar chart, but there are important differences.
Frequency charts show data that is collected in groups.
Frequency refers to the number of times an event or a value occurs. A frequency table is a table
that lists items and shows the number of times the items occur.

Histogram: a graphical display of data using bars of different heights. It is similar to a Bar Chart,
but a histogram groups numbers into ranges.

Study the chart above. Notice there are no gaps between the bars.
How many learners scores between 40-50 marks?
Answer= 5.

Use the information in the above chart to prepare a frequency table.

WEEK : TWO(2)

TOPIC : CHANGE OF STATES

OBJECTIVE:

1. Define change of states of matter.

2. Describe the changing states of matter using scientific words.
3. Use the triangular diagram to explain change in states.
4. Keywords : changes, freezing, melting, boiling, condensation, sublimation etc.

1. CHANGING STATES OF MATTER

Matter can exist as solid, liquid or gas. Water is a unique matter. It can exist naturally as a liquid,
a solid or gas. By reducing the temperature, we can change water to its solid form, i.e. ice. By
heating it, we can change water into a gas called vapour. The temperature at which a liquid
change into gas is called its boiling point. The boiling point of water is 100℃ . The temperature
at which a liquid change into solid is called the freezing point. The freezing point of water is 0℃

2. The changes that matter undergoes are;

i. EVAPORATION – When a liquid changes into a gas on heating, it is known as evaporation.

ii. CONDENSATION- When a gas cools down and becomes a liquid due to a fall in temperature, it is
called condensation.
iii. FREEZING- When a liquid becomes a solid by cooling, it is called freezing.
iv. MELTING- When a solid turns into liquid on heating, it is called melting.
v. SUBLIMATION: When a solid turns into gas without passing through the liquid state.
vi. VAPOURIZATION - changing from liquid to gas.

3. DIAGRAMATIC REPRESENTATION OF CHANGING STATES

In water, we can show these changes as follows:
MELTS EVAPORATES
ICE =============== WATER =============== WATER VAPOUR
============== ===============
FREEZES CONDENSES
