To the teacher Jamaica Maths Connect is a unique course organised to fit the curriculum. It covers key areas of knowledge, understanding and skills which provide a firm foundation to raise competence and confidence in mathematics. The lively approach of the text is designed to make the study of mathematics both interesting and enjoyable. Jamaica Maths Connect, with its wealth of stimulus material, will help students to understand the relevance of mathematics to everyday problems. There are ample Investigations for project work, and illustrated case studies to show how mathematics is used by real people in many different jobs. The modules are designed to be used sequentially. Each ‘Looking back’ relates to the previous section, and ‘Revise and consolidate’ applies to all previous material. The ‘Test your knowledge’ tests at the end relate to topics throughout the book. Students should be able to use calculators where appropriate, but they should not become over-dependent on them.

How to use this book This book is divided up into 17 colour-coded chapters. Number chapters are orange; Algebra chapters are green; Geometry chapters are blue; Measure chapters are purple; and Data Handling chapters are red. Each chapter is divided up into units.

Key words

Square root Cube root Root

Unit 1.3 Roots In this unit you will: find the square roots of positive integers find other roots of positive integers use a calculator to find roots.

Directly under the unit heading are the lesson targets. These tell you what you will learn in the lesson. To help you remember important vocabulary, there is a Key words box here. You already know that 16 is a square number and that 16 4 4. We say that 4 is the square root of 16. Finding the square root of a square number is like working out the length of the side of a square when you know its area.

In the explanation box, you can see a summary of the key ideas that are covered in the lesson. The key words are printed in bold type.

The worked examples show you how to answer the exercise questions. On the blue paper you can see the kind of working you should be writing in your exercise book. The green hint boxes help explain how to calculate the answers. The exercises for each lesson are made up of three kinds of question: ● practice questions, which allow you to practise the basic skills ● problem questions, which ask you to apply the skills you have learned ● investigation questions, which give you practice at solving open-ended problems At the end of each chapter are ‘Looking back’ exercises to help you review what you have learned. There are also six ‘Revise and consolidate’ exercises spread throughout the book for more review and practice work, and finally, five ‘Tests of your knowledge’ at the end.

Chapter

Number You have already developed a wide range of skills in working with numbers. In this chapter we will briefly review some of the number concepts covered in Year 1 and 2 and consolidate and combine the skills you have developed so that you can apply these in new contexts and to real-life situations. The aim is to become a competent mathematician who can solve number-related problems quickly and efficiently.

Unit 1.1 Basic numeracy In this unit you will: revise and apply the basic number concepts you will use as you work through this book use the four operations (, ,  and ) to perform simple computations.

The set of natural numbers consists of the counting numbers N
{1, 2, 3 …}. The set of positive integers includes 0: {0, 1, 2, 3 …}. The set of integers includes numbers less than 0, the negative numbers Z
{… 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2, 3 …}. Rational numbers are numbers which can be written in the form of a fraction where 2 6 the numerator and denominator are both whole numbers. For example: 4, 7 and 1.5 are all rational numbers. n All whole numbers are rational because they can be written in the form . 1 Even numbers can be divided exactly by 2. For example, 4, 8, 100, 1 000 008. Odd numbers cannot be divided exactly by 2. For example, 3, 9, 11, 121, 1 000 121. A factor is a number which divides exactly into a given number. For example, 5 is a factor of 20. A multiple is formed by multiplying a given number by any integer. For example, 10 is a multiple of 1, 2 and 5 (1  10, 2  5 and 5  2). Prime numbers are numbers which have only two factors, the number itself and 1. The first five prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11. When we perform operations on numbers we work in a very specific order. Brackets are always solved and removed first. Remember the fraction line acts like a bracket! Multiplication and division are performed next. Addition and subtraction are performed from left to right. This order is sometimes called BOMDAS – this is a mnemonic to help you remember the order of operations, not a rule in itself. The answer to an addition problem can be called the sum. The answer to a subtraction problem can be called the difference. The answer to a multiplication problem is the product. The answer to a division problem is the quotient.

44
16

The numbers 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36 and so on, are called square numbers. Square numbers are formed by multiplying a whole number by itself. To check whether a number is a square number, you can ask yourself whether you could represent it as the area of a square shape. For example:

4

4

16 is a square number. 12 is not a square number.

12 is a rectangular number.

16
4  4 We can write 4  4 as 42. 42
16 We read this as ‘four squared equals 16’. 42 is 16 written in index form. Any number can be written in index form. For example, ab is read as ‘a to the power of b’. ‘a’ is called the base. ‘b’ is called the index, power or exponent. The plural of index is indices. A number written in the index form can be expanded as a product. The index tells us the number of times we multiply the base by itself. ab

Other roots It is possible to find roots of numbers other than square roots. For example, 2  2  2
8 can be written as 23
8. We say ‘2 cubed equals 8’. The cube root of 8 is 2. Again, you can think of this as finding the length of the side of a cube if you know the volume of the cube. To show that we are working with a cube root, we write a small 3 in front of the root sign. 3


8
2

So

This is read as ‘the third root of 8 is 2’ or ‘the cube root of 8 is 2’. Because we can write numbers to any index, it follows that mathematically, we must be able to find any root: 4

On your calculator, the key
y is used to find roots other than squared or cubed roots. The method you will use on your calculator will depend on the make and model you are using. These are the two most common methods but you should refer to your calculator manual to make sure you know how to do this. 4

Unit 1.4 Adding and subtracting with decimals

Estimate Rounding

In this unit you will: add whole numbers and decimal numbers using standard written methods subtract whole numbers and decimal numbers using standard written methods estimate answers by rounding. When adding or subtracting using column methods: a) Write an estimate of the answer by rounding each number. For example, you can find an estimate of 87.19  19.58 by adding 90 to 20, to give an estimate of 110. b) Write the numbers in columns underneath each other, making sure each digit is in its correct column. c) Compare the answer with the estimate as a check. In the example above, the accurate answer is 106.77, quite close to the estimate. When adding: Start adding from the right, carrying into the next column on the left, if necessary. When subtracting: Start subtracting from the right, ‘requesting’ from the next column on the left when necessary. You can check an addition by subtracting, and a subtraction by adding. To check if a  b
c, does c  b
a? To check if a  b
c, does c  b
a? When adding or subtracting fractions, you can convert the answer to a decimal, or convert each fraction to a decimal first.

Unit 1.8 Scientific notation In this unit you will: write and work with numbers in scientific notation (standard form).

Scientific notation Standard form

The range of numbers we work with in mathematics is very large. For example, the population of the world in 2005 was estimated to be 6.4 billion, whilst the diameter of atoms that scientists are working with can be less than one-millionth of a centimetre. When we have to write or type these numbers out using numerals, they take up space, it takes a lot of time and it is easy to make mistakes  plus, calculators can only display a certain number of digits  for bigger or smaller numbers they have to express them differently. For example, if we enter 6 000 000  12 000 on a calculator the display shows 7.210. This means the answer is 7.2  1010 or 72 000 000 000. 7.2  1010 is a method of writing numbers called scientific notation, or standard form. When a number is written in scientific notation, two parts are multiplied together: ● a number between 1 and 10 (including 1, but not including 10) ● a power of 10. So, we could write the numbers 7 000 and 8 600 in scientific notation like this:

7 000

8 600

7  10 3

8.6  10 3

number from 1–10

power

number from 1–10

power

This means that 7 000 is 7 groups of 103 or 7 groups of 1 000 and 8 600 is 8.6 groups of 103. The power (index) tells you how many times you must multiply the number by ten. “The population of St. Lucia is 1.5 x 105” The population of St. Lucia is written here in standard form or scientific notation. 1.5  105
150 000 Therefore, we can also say that the population of St. Lucia is 150 000. Very small numbers can also be written in scientific notation using negative powers. For example, it takes a laser printer 2.5  105 seconds to print a single letter on a page. In this case, the negative power (index) tells you by what should divide to find the value of the number (work from the decimal point). In this case, 2.5  10 000
0.000 025 seconds.

Denary Base Binary

In this unit you will: review reading and writing numbers in bases other than 10 add, subtract and multiply numbers in any base.

You have already learnt that our number system is a decimal, or denary system. In other words, it uses the number ten as a base for counting. In this system, all numbers can be written using just ten digits and as multiples of powers of ten. You should remember this from your work on place value. 105 (HTh)

Sets In this chapter you will review the vocabulary and concepts related to sets that you have already covered in Year 1 and 2. You will then expand on your understanding of sets to deal with the union and intersection of three sets. You will work with Venn diagrams to represent sets and relationships between them, and learn how to apply a formula to calculate the number of elements in a set.

Subset Intersection Union Complement Disjoint

Unit 2.1 Review of set theory In this unit you will: review the vocabulary used to talk about sets revise basic set theory and solve problems to consolidate your knowledge. The photographs show you three sets. Remember that a set is a well-defined collection of objects. A

B

C

The items in a set are called the elements
of a set. Set A has four elements. It is a finite set. A set with no elements is called an empty set {} or
. The bangle in set A is not an element of set B. We use the symbol  to show that something is not an element of a set. Equivalent sets have the same number of elements, set A
set B. Equal sets have exactly the same elements. None of these sets are equal. A subset contains some elements of a set. For example set C  set B. The set itself and the empty set are always subsets of a set. The number of subsets of a set with n elements is 2n. The intersection  of two sets is the set of elements which belong to both sets. If you look at the sets above, then A  B  {ring, earring and cross}. The union of two sets is the set of elements which contains all the elements of both sets. If you look at the sets above, then A  B  {earring, ring, bangle, cross, chain}. The complement of a set X, called X, refers to the elements that are part of the universal set, but which do not fall into set X. So for example, if the universal set was the set of gold and silver jewellery and set X  {silver jewellery} then set X  {gold jewellery}. Disjoint sets have no common elements. Sets A and C are disjoint. The universal set is the general set to which a set belongs. The universal set to which A, B and C belong could be {jewellery}. The number of elements of a set is written as n(A)  4. 24

Unit 2.2 The union and complement of sets In this unit you will: find the complement of a set find the union of two sets.

Union Complement Universal set

The union of two sets is the set of elements belonging to the first set or the second set. The symbol for union is . To find the union of two sets A and B: ● List the elements of both sets. ● Write down the elements contained in set A or set B. If an element is contained in both sets, only write that element once. A  {yellow, red, blue, black, green}, B  {red, black, purple, orange, green, pink} A  B  {yellow, red, blue, black, green, purple, orange, pink}

The complement of a set A, denoted A or Ac, is the set of all elements not contained in A but contained in the universal set. If you look at the family above: M  {Males} Find the members of M M  {Members of the family who are not males} So, M  {Mrs James, Betty, Joyce, Debra, Colleen}

Unit 3.2 Areas of parallelograms and trapezia

Parallelogram Trapezium

In this unit you will: use the formula for finding the area of a parallelogram use the formula for finding the area of a trapezium combine formulae to determine the areas of compound shapes. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel and equal sides. The parallelogram is made up of two triangles with equal areas. The area of each 1 triangle is 2(base  perpendicular height). Hence the area of the parallelogram is 1 1 (base  height)  (base  height), or 2 2 simply (base  height).

A trapezium is a quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides have lengths a and b and the perpendicular height is h.

h b

If we put two identical trapezia together, we make a parallelogram. The total length of the parallel base is now (a  b) and the height is h. The area of the parallelogram is (base  height), which is (a  b)  height. 1 Hence the area of one trapezium is 2(a  b)  h.

This formula can be used to find the area of any trapezium where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is the perpendicular height between them.

The metric units of area are square metres (m2), square centimetres (cm2) and square millimetres (mm2). 1 m2  10 000 cm2

1 cm2  100 mm2

If you convert linear cm to mm you multiply by 10. However, if you convert square cm to square mm, you are in fact multiplying by 10  10 or 100. So, when you convert between square units, you have to double the decimal places you would normally multiply or divide by on the metric scale. Consider a rectangle with a length of 3 cm and a width of 2 cm. The length may also be expressed as 30 mm and the width as 20 mm. Hence the area 20 mm is either 6 square centimetres or 600 square millimetres.

Case study – Pre-primary school principal and teacher St Joseph’s Educare Centre Ms Loretta Bowen-Williams Qualifications/Experience: Diploma in Pre-Primary Education (Miami College of Education) Montessori Teaching Diploma (London) Ten years teaching experience

I run a small private pre-primary school in a large town. We have seventy children in all and five staff members. I currently rent the premises from a local businessman – they are very lovely and spacious with large grounds for the children to play in. My work has two elements. As the principal I am responsible for the administration and day-to-day running of the school. I spend about three hours a day doing this part of my job. I have to make sure that the teachers are doing their jobs and that they are paid. I also report to the board of trustees and spend time fund-raising for the school. I have to make sure that the financial records are kept up-to-date and that fee payments are entered and receipts issued. We charge fees on a monthly basis and I have to send out accounts to parents. We charge extra for outings, food and additional equipment. I also have to pay the school accounts – telephone, electricity, rent and daily expenses such as food and equipment that we buy. Once I have dealt with the financial aspect of the job, I have to keep records for the Ministry of Education. This involves attendance records for both pupils and teachers – when a teacher takes a leave of absence, we have to complete a form and record the details in a register. We keep an overall attendance record for the pupils too. I also deal with the ordering of equipment and books and make appointments to see parents if necessary. I keep a diary and find that it helps to manage my time efficiently. In addition to my work as principal, I also teach art and drama for two hours each day. I really love this part of my job as it allows me to have contact with the children. I plan lessons in advance and I try to collect all the materials that I will need for the lessons before I get to school. For example, this week we are making templates and painting on fabric and I have to work out what I will need for each class. For each group of four children I need a set of four plastic paint containers and four brushes as well as four pairs of scissors, rulers and thin plastic for making the templates. I also need at least a metre of plain fabric for each group. I have three classes with twelve to sixteen children in each, so it takes a little organisation to get it all sorted out. I make up a basket or box with the equipment for each class and keep it all together. Some lessons require much more planning than others. For example, when we built models out of drinking straws, I had to draw money from school funds to buy straws and plasticine before the lessons. However, it is all worth it when the children are creative and they make beautiful artworks.

Rate Per Speed

Chapter

Rates and proportions In real life we often have to compare two quantities of different things, for example, km per hour or dollars per kilogram. In this chapter you will work with different rates and proportions to solve problems and become more aware of how mathematical rates can help you compare prices and otherwise become a more critical consumer.

4

Unit 4.1 Rate and speed In this unit you will: carry out practical activities to record time in minutes and seconds calculate speed by dividing distance by time. A rate is a comparison of two different quantities measured in different units. We normally express rates using the word ‘per’, for example, kilometres per hour. Per means ‘for each’ and it can be shortened to ‘p’ or indicated using a ‘/’ as in km.p.h. or km/h. To calculate a rate, you divide one quantity by another. For example, to find a speed in kilometres per hour, we would divide the kilometres covered by the number of hours. Most rates are given ‘per’ one unit. For example, ‘per kilometre’ means for every one kilometre.

Worked examples 1. Angela ran the 100 m race in 20 seconds. What was her speed in metres per second? 2. Andrew ran the 3 500 m race in 11 minutes 40 seconds. What was his speed in metres per second? 1. In 1 second she ran 100 m

The table shows the number of days taken by different numbers of people to build benches. This is an example of inverse or indirect proportion. If a quantity Y decreases as a quantity X increases and XY  constant, then X is inversely proportional to or varies inversely or indirectly with Y. 1 We can also say that X is directly proportional to  Y Y 1 or Y is directly proportional to . X When two quantities X and Y are inversely proportional, 1 the graph of Y against  is a straight line. X 0

Chapter

Working with indices You have already worked with powers and indices in Chapter 1. In this chapter you will learn more about the rules for operating with indices. You will review and learn how to work with indices when multiplying, dividing and raising an index by another. You will also learn to use fractional and negative indices.

Unit 5.1 The three basic rules of indices In this unit you will: determine some basic laws of indices apply the laws of indices in simplifying expressions. You already know how to use powers or indices to write numbers in mathematics. For example 63 is read as ‘6 cubed’ or ‘6 to the third power’, and vm is read as ‘v to the m power’. 3 and m are indices.

Singular – index, plural – indices

When we write expressions out in full, we are able to find quick methods of working with indices and this has allowed mathematicians to develop rules for operating with indices. 45

Sequence Terms Consecutive Ascending Term-to-term rule Descending

Unit 6.1 Sequences In this unit you will: find the terms of a sequence given the first term and the term-to-term rule. Individual numbers in a sequence are called terms. Terms that follow each other are called consecutive terms. The first term of a sequence is denoted T(1), the second T(2), the third T(3) and so on. The sequence: 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17 … ● is an ascending sequence ● is an infinite sequence

The terms are getting larger. The three dots show that it continues to infinity.

● can be described as T(1)  2 and the term-to-term rule is ‘add 3’. The sequence: 10, 5, 0,
5,
10, …,

100 ● is a descending sequence ● is a finite sequence

The terms are getting smaller. The last term,

Unit 6.2 The general term

General term Multiples

In this unit you will: generate a sequence given the general term find and justify the general term of a sequence. We can find the general term of a sequence by looking at the difference between consecutive terms. Consider the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, 14 … . The difference between the consecutive terms is always 3, so we compare the sequence to the multiples of 3. A general term of 3n gives 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 … Our sequence is one less than the sequence of the multiples of 3, so the general term is 3n
1. We can express the general term of a sequence as T(n). If T(n) 
2n  1, then to find the first few terms of the sequence, we replace n with the term number: T(1) 
2  1  1 
1 T(2) 
2  2  1 
3 T(3) 
2  3  1 
5 … By expressing the general term in this way, it is easy to find any term in the sequence. For example, to find the 112th term: T(112) 
2  112  1 
223

Worked example The general term of a sequence is T(n)  5
3n. a. What is the difference between consecutive terms? b. Is the sequence ascending or descending? c. Find the first four terms of the sequence. a.
3 b. Descending c. T(1)  5

3  2 
1 T(3)  5
3  3 
4 T(4)  5
3  4 
7

Since the general term includes
3n, the sequence can be compared with the sequence of multiples of
3. The difference between consecutive terms will therefore be
3. Since the difference between the terms is
3, the terms must be getting smaller.

Unit 6.3 Quadratic sequences

Quadratic sequence Square

In this unit you will: generate the terms of a quadratic sequence.

A quadratic sequence is one whose general term includes a square. For example, T(n)  n2  5 is the general term of a quadratic sequence. To find the terms of a quadratic sequence we substitute the term number into the expression. T1  12  5  6 T2  22  5  9 T3  32  5  14 T4  42  5  21

Worked examples 1. Find the first five terms of the sequence T(n)  n2

Unit 6.4 Solving simple equations In this unit you will: review solving equations using brackets and negative integers.

Equation Solve Unknown

Remember that an equation contains an unknown (variable) and an equals sign. We solve an equation to find the value of the variable. When solving equations: Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. For example, to solve the equation 3(2x
5)  4x
1, first we must expand the brackets on the left-hand side to get 6x
15  4x
1. Step 2: Solve the equation by doing the same to both sides. For example: Subtract 4x from both sides. 6x
15  4x
1 2x
15 
1 Add 15 to both sides. 2x  14 Divide both sides by 2. x7 As long as we do the same to both sides of the equation, it remains balanced.

Unit 6.6 Finding the subject of a formula

Transpose Subject Inverse operation Powers Roots

In this unit you will: rearrange simple formulae to obtain a required subject.

When you solved equations you used inverse operations. ‘Addition’ and ‘subtraction’ are inverse operations while ‘multiplication’ and ‘division’ are inverse operations. For example 40  5  45 ⇒ 40  45
5

54
20  34 ⇒ 54  34  20

16  3  48 ⇒ 16  48  3

8  2

p2  64 p

A formula is a general equation that links variables. For example, the circumference of a circle is C  2 r. C is the circumference, r is the radius. ‘C’ is the subject of the equation. It is by itself on one side of the equation. To put ‘r’ as the subject, rearrange the formula by using inverse operations. C  r 2 We do this by dividing both sides by 2 . Note we are not finding a value or solving an equation when we do this.

Worked examples 1

1. Put ‘h’ as the subject of A  2 (a  b)h. 2A   h Divide both sides by 12(a  b). ab

At least ‘One step’

2. Put ‘a’ as the subject of A  2 (a  b)h. 2A   a  b Divide both sides by 12h. h 2A 
b  a Subtract b from both sides. h

At least ‘Two steps’

3. Rearrange the formula A  r 2 to make r the subject. A Easier to transpose  first.   r 2  A  r Find the square root of both sides. Two steps

Unit 6.8 Factorising algebraic expressions

Factors HCF Expand Term Expression

In this unit you will: recognise the Highest Common Factors (HCF) in algebraic expressions write algebraic expressions as products of factors.

24 can be written as 6  4 or 8  3. 6, 4, 8, 3 are factors of 24. 8  12  4(2  3) 4 is the HCF of 8 and 12. Remember, the highest common factor 4 and the expression (2  3) are factors of 8  12. is the largest number that divides, without remainder, into all terms. In the same way, some algebraic expressions can be written as a product of factors, that is, they can be factorised. You have learnt to expand or remove brackets, for example 12(a
2b)  12a
24b. Factorising is the opposite of expanding. 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 are common factors of 12a and 24b but 12 is the HCF. Factorising algebraic expressions gives a product of terms and expressions. 6a  12b
18c  6(a  2b
3c) 6 is the HCF of the three terms. The number 6 and the expression (a  2b
3c) are factors. Check your result by expanding 6(a  2b
3c). Remember when you expand, you move the brackets and multiply each term by the factor outside. b

Working with money

Foreign exchange Exchange rate

Working with money is an important life skill – the more we learn, the better equipped we become to deal with the issues that confront us on a daily basis. In this chapter you will deal with foreign currencies and hire purchase. You will apply your mathematical skills to solve money-related real-life problems.

Unit 7.1 Foreign exchange In this unit you will: review how to convert from one currency to another using given exchange rates.

You learnt last year that countries have their own currencies and that when you travel to a foreign country you need to exchange the money from your own country to that of the country to which you are travelling. Money is normally changed at a bank or foreign exchange bureau (cambio). The rate at which one currency is exchanged for another is called the exchange rate. When you change your money into another currency you do so at the current rate of exchange. Banks and foreign exchange bureaux take a commission on the exchange of currency. When they sell you another currency, they charge a slightly higher rate than when they buy foreign currency from you – that way they also make a slight profit on the transaction. The rate of exchange is normally displayed on a board in the bank e.g.:

Selling

Buying

$1 US
$2.70 EC

$1 US
$2.65 EC

You can also go online to check the $1 BDS
$1.40 EC current exchange rates and calculate how much money you will get in exchange for different currencies. One site which is very useful is www.xe.com but your local bank may also have a website that publishes this information.

$1 BDS
$1.35 EC

Worked examples 1. Julie is travelling to Barbados and needs to change EC$ to BDS$. If the exchange rate is $1 BDS = $1.40 EC, how much in BDS$ currency does Julie get for $250.00 EC? 2. If US $1 = $2.65 EC, how much in EC currency does Dan receive for US$120?

84

1. $250 ÷ 1.40 = $178.57 BDS

$1 BD is less than $1 EC, so we divide.

2. $120 x 2.65 = $318.00 EC

$1 US is more than $1 EC, so we multiply.

Unit 7.2 Hire purchase

Credit Deposit Balance Instalments Hire purchase Interest

In this unit you will: understand what is meant by hire purchase (HP) perform calculations to compare prices, work out interest and find total costs related to hire purchase agreements. Sometimes people want to buy something but they do not have enough money to pay for it immediately. In these cases, the shopper can buy on credit. In other words, the shopper pays part of the price as a deposit and agrees to pay the rest of the amount owed, or the balance, in instalments over a fixed period of time. A common form of buying on credit is called hire purchase. In this system, the shopper pays a deposit and signs an agreement to pay fixed monthly amounts till the goods are paid for. The shopper can take the goods home but they technically belong to the shop until they are paid for in full.

CASH

$299

Deposit $45 Six payments of $50.80

Hire purchase costs more than when you pay cash because the shop charges interest on the outstanding balance. To calculate the hire purchase price, add the deposit to the total of the monthly payments. In the example above the hire purchase price is: $45  (6  $50.80)
$45  $304.80
$349.80 The interest can be calculated using a formula: Hire purchase price  Cash price
Interest paid Using the example above: $349.80  $299.00
$50.80 The customer paid $50.80 interest on hire purchase. This means it would be $50.80 cheaper to pay cash for the bicycle.

Worked examples The cost price of a mantelpiece is $1 500. A shopper makes a deposit of 15% and pays 12 monthly instalments of $180. Find a. the hire purchase price b. the interest earned. a.

15  x $1 500 = $225 100

12 x $180 = $2 160 Hire purchase price = $2 160 + $225 = $2 385 b. Interest = $2 385  $1 500 = $885

A diagonal is a line of symmetry only when one half of the quadrilateral fits exactly on the other half, when folded on the diagonal. This line of symmetry bisects (cuts in two equal parts) opposite angles.

Remember the following facts. ● The sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral
360°. ● Alternate angles are equal when lines are parallel. ● Corresponding angles are equal when lines are parallel. ● Vertically opposite angles are equal.

Case study – Signwriter Graeme Morrison I own and run a small sign shop in a village and, even though the village is quite small, I am normally fairly busy. My business often involves using quotations and so I have to measure the surface area of the sign to base the quotation on. I need to be careful with my calculations or the project could end up costing me money! Let me first, however, explain what the art of signwriting entails. There are not many true sign “writers” left. Computers and technology have changed the way signs are made. I suppose one could call the new generation sign makers rather than writers. In my job, the first step would be a call from a customer. I would then set up an on-site meeting with them to discuss what signage they want. At the meeting (which has now cost me money in petrol), I will measure the space in which the sign will be erected. The space could be a steel plate to which we will apply adhesive vinyl, a wall that will be painted or a glass shop front. I need to use maths to first measure the space and then to convert the area into square metres. Back in the office I will design the sign on a computer and from there calculate how much material I will need. I will also need to figure out how much petrol is going to cost me. Some projects may be as far as 40 km away and may need several days work with the travelling that it entails. Any extra labour needed will also need to be calculated. So let’s do some maths and work out a quote. We have a large agricultural expo annually near to the village and I do a lot of work for a large petroleum company who is the major sponsor and advertiser. They want two double sided signs mounted in frames, measuring 1.8 m  6 m and attached to the top of a 4 m high wall. We will use white coated steel. The steel comes in some standard sizes, 1.8  900 mm being one of them. We need to know how many sheets we will need: 6 m  900 mm
6 m  0.9 m
6.6 m I will need 7 sheets per side and will trim a piece off to get to 6 m. Coated steel of this size costs $150 per sheet so 4 signs, each using 7 sheets will cost: $150  7  4
$4 200.00. Now we need to work out how much adhesive vinyl we will need: 1.8 m  6 m
10.8 m2 4 signs  10.8 m2
43.2 m2 My price for cut and applied vinyl is $250 per m2: $250  43.2 m2
$10 800 The steel for the structure that will hold the sign has to be added. To do this I need to calculate how much steel I need. After drawing up a plan I can determine how much steel I need. This would be in metres. Steel also comes in 6 m lengths, so I need to work my waste in. Steel is $20 per m, we need 30 m per frame and we are making 2 frames: $20  30 m  2
$1 200.00 Now we have to cost the following: ● ● ● ● ● ●

welding rods and electricity the salary for the guy who works for me the chemicals to clean the steel frame the undercoat and paint and thinners to paint it the drill bits and rivets and rawl bolts to assemble it the extra guys I will need to employ for a few days to erect the sign ● the truck with crane I will need to hire to transport and lift the sign onto the wall. Maths, maths and more maths! As you can see, everything around me in the running of a business involves maths. In addition to each job, I have to work out salaries, petrol costs, rent, electricity and water costs. The list is endless!

Chapter

Construction In this chapter you will use geometrical instruments to learn how to construct triangles. You will also learn to use rulers and compasses to bisect angles and construct perpendicular bisectors of lines. You will use these skills to construct some angles, using ruler and compasses only.

10

Unit 10.1 Constructing triangles In this unit you will: revise using a ruler and protractor to construct triangles. You should remember from last year that to construct a triangle accurately you need information about its sides and angles. You need at least a set of three bits of information to be sure the triangle you are drawing is the only one of its kind. In this unit we will revise two methods: ● the lengths of two sides and the angle between them (SAS), or ● two angles and the line that joins them (ASA).

Worked examples 1. Draw a triangle ABC with sides AB = 6 cm, AC = 2.5 cm and
BAC = 50°. 2. Draw triangle CDE where CD = 3.6 cm,

Intersecting arcs Sketch Construction Hypotenuse

In this unit you will: construct triangles given the lengths of the three sides construct triangles given a right angle and the lengths of the hypotenuse and another side.

In the previous unit you used a ruler and a protractor to construct triangles. In this unit you will learn to construct triangles using a ruler and a pair of compasses. In order to construct with a ruler and a pair of compasses, you need to be able to draw intersecting arcs. You also need to be able to construct a perpendicular line at a point (to make a 90° angle). We can use our compasses to measure lines and work out where they meet. By adjusting the distance on our compasses, we can determine where two sides will meet:

Increase the compass distance. Use the circle and line intersections (X and Y) as starting points. Make arcs above and below the line.

A rough sketch is a drawing that looks like the figure. It has no accurate measurements. It helps us to make decisions about our constructions. When we construct diagrams we make accurate drawings with the use of instruments. Do not erase your arcs, and make sure that your pencil point goes exactly through the points of intersection.

Unit 11.1 Frequency tables In this unit you will: distinguish between discrete and continuous data construct grouped frequency tables. You should remember from Year 1 and 2 that when we conduct a survey or an investigation, the information collected is called data. Data may either be discrete or continuous. Discrete data is data which can be counted and is recorded as whole numbers, such as the number of children in a group or the number of houses on a street. Continuous data is data which is usually measured and has values which can lie within a given range, such as the height of a plant or the mass of a brick. Sometimes when there is a large amount of data, it can be put into groups or classes. If the data is shown in a table, it is known as a grouped frequency table.

Worked examples 1. Describe each of the following as discrete or continuous data. a. weight b. number of pets c. time taken to eat breakfast d. volume of water drunk by a person in a day e. number of glasses of water drunk by a person during the day 2.

Unit 11.2 Graphs and charts In this unit you will: construct graphs and diagrams to represent data interpret graphs and diagrams.

Data collected in statistics can be presented in a diagram, where it can be easily analysed. It is important to choose the most appropriate diagram for a set of data. Pictographs use a shape or symbol to represent a given frequency, where the symbol is repeated to represent larger frequencies or divided to represent smaller frequencies.

A frequency polygon also shows the frequency distribution. It is drawn by plotting the mid value of each class and joining the points to form a straight line.

Frequency

A histogram is a graph of a frequency distribution. It looks like a bar graph but there are no spaces between the bars and the area of each rectangle represents the frequency.

Statistics: analysing data

Mean Mode Median Range

This chapter deals with some of the measures of central tendency (averages) that we use to analyse statistics and also the measure of spread that is found in data (the range). You will revise previous work on averages and learn how to apply your skills to work with grouped data in order to work with more complex data sets.

Chapter

12

Unit 12.1 Processing data In this unit you will: calculate the mode, median and mean for a set of data determine the range for a set of data. Once you have collected data you need to process it and make sense of it. This often involves calculating statistics such as averages and the range. sum of all data The mean is the  . number of items in the data The mode is the category or outcome with the highest frequency. The median is the middle item once the data has been ordered. The range is not an average, but it shows how the data is spread. The range is the highest value minus the smallest value in the data. If you collected your data in ungrouped form, you can also put it into groups or classes. Class intervals should be of equal size and there should be no gaps or overlaps.

Simultaneous equations and inequalities

Chapter

There are times when two or more variables and two or more equations are necessary in order to solve real-world problems. In this chapter you will learn how to calculate the solutions when you have two variables in two equations at the same time – this is known as solving simultaneous equations. You will also learn how to solve simple inequalities.

Unit 13.1 Solving simultaneous equations by elimination In this unit you will: solve simultaneous equations using the elimination method.

Let us examine the following situation. Three cup cakes and a box of drink cost $1.50, but two of the same cakes $1.50 and a box of drink cost $1.10. What is the cost of a cup cake and the cost of a box of drink? The difference in the two purchases is 1 cup cake. $1.10 The difference in the total cost is 40 cents. Therefore 1 cup cake cost 40 cents. We can the use this to find the cost of a box of drink. This would be easier if we write the equations and solve them. Let 1 cup cake cost p cents and 1 box of drink cost k cents. $1.50  150 cents Then 3p
k  150 Equation i) 2p
k  110 Equation ii) $1.10 110 cents The difference between the two situations is one cup cake and 40 cents. p  40 So 2  40
k  110 80

Substitution Subject of an equation

Unit 13.2 Solving simultaneous equations by substitution In this unit you will: solve simultaneous equations using the substitution method.

Earlier you learned how to substitute numbers for variables or unknowns and to write any letter as the subject of the equation. You will now use subject of the equation with the substitution of terms or expressions as another way of solving simultaneous equations.

Worked examples 1. Solve the following equations simultaneously. w  10  3y 4w
2y  0 2. Find the value of t and r if 3t  r  7 and 2t
3r  1. 3. Solve the equations 2x
y  6 and 4x  2y  8. 1. w  10  3y Eq. 1) 4w
2y  0 Eq. 2)

In Eq. 1) w is the subject of the equation and equals 10  3y. Therefore 10  3y can replace (substitute for) w in Eq. 2)

4(10  3y)
2y  0 40  12y
2y  0  10 y  – 40 y  (– 40)  (– 10)  4 So w  10  3(4) w  10  12  – 2 Solution is w  –2, y  4 Therefore w  –2, y  4 satisfies both equations. 2. 3t  r  7 Eq. 1) 2t
3r  1 Eq. 2) In Eq. 1), 3t  7  r In Eq. 2), 2t
3(3t  7)  1 2t
9t  21  1 11t  1
21  22 t 2 So r 327 r  1 r  1 and t  2 r  1 and t  2 satisfies both equations.

There is now one simple equation to solve. Moving the brackets. Simplify and transpose. Substituting in w  10  3y.

Putting r as the subject. Substituting 3t  7 for r. Remove brackets. Simplify and transpose. Dividing by 11. Substituting 2 for t in 3t  7.

You can also put y as the subject in both equations. Transposing 2x. Transposing 2y and dividing throughout by 2.

 Go back to Unit 13.1 and use the substitution method to find the values of the unknown for the equations in questions 1 and 2.

 State the questions that were more challenging when the substitution method was used. Tell a partner why this was the case.

Investigation Research the use of words you learn in Mathematics, writing the common use and the mathematical use of simultaneous, eliminate, and substitute. Explain to a partner when it is best to a) add or subtract equations to eliminate an unknown b) multiply both equations or only one equation to eliminate an unknown c) select the elimination method or the substitution method.

Unit 13.3 Solving inequalities

Solution set Continuous Discrete

In this unit you will: solve simple inequalities.

To solve simple equations you transposed by using inverse operations. You investigated the use of multiplying and dividing both sides of an inequality. We will now investigate further to see if inequalities may be treated as equations. ● 4
5  12
Subtracting 5 from both sides: 4  12  5
● 642
Adding 4 to both sides: 6   2
4
● 524
● 12  3  6


Dividing both sides by 2: 5  4  2
Multiplying both sides by 3: 12  6  3


Try other positive numbers with the four operations to see if the inequalities are still true. Now let’s try negative numbers: ● 4
(5)  2
Subtracting (5) from both sides: 4  2  (5)
● 6  (4)  2
Adding (4) to both sides: 6  2
(4)
● 5  (2)  4
Dividing both sides by (2): 5  4  (2)  The sign must be reversed to make the statement true: 5  4  (2) ● 12  (3)  6
Multiplying both sides by (3): 12  6  (3)  The sign must be reversed to make the statement true: 12  6  (3) Try other negative numbers with the four operations to see if the inequalities are true or false. ● 6
4  10
Interchanging sides: 10  6
4
● 6
34
Interchanging sides: 4  6
3  The sign must be reversed for the statement to be true: 4  6
3 The inequality remains the same for all the operations except: ● when multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number ● when the sides are interchanged. The following number lines show how the solution set for a given inequality can be displayed. 5

Remember x  0 on the y-axis and y = 0 on the x-axis. Graphs A and C are straight lines. Remember, the equation for a straight line is in the form y  mx  c, where m  gradient and c  y-intercept. An intercept is where lines meet or cross. Therefore x  0 is the intercept on the y-axis. Graphs B and D are called parabolas. They look like a bowl turned up or down. These are graphs of quadratic functions or quadratic curves. A quadratic function is an expression which includes a square as the highest index.

Unit 14.3 Solving real-world problems using graphs In this unit you will: identify points or regions on graphs that represent real-life situations draw graphs to represent real-life situations.

Some of our problems encountered in our daily lives involve equations or inequalities. Remember ● when equations are represented graphically the solutions lie on lines, in regions or at vertices ● the solution for more than one situation falls on the intersection of lines or regions ● a discrete variable does not allow fractions e.g. the number of people is discrete. If fractions are allowed then the variable is continuous.

Worked examples 1. One day Roy had $150 and decided to share lunch with friends. They wanted pizza at $30 each and a bottle of drink at $15 each. No fraction of a pizza or a bottle of drink is sold. a. If each friend got a pizza and a bottle of drink, what is the most number of friends Roy may treat that day? b. How much would he spend for himself and his friends? c. Roy decides to spend all his money. What other item(s) could he buy? 1. Let the number of pizzas be x and the number of drinks be y. Roy spent 30x  15y. It is an inequality because he can spend no more than $150. Therefore 30x  15y  150. He must buy at least one drink and one pizza, therefore x  1 and y  1.

Right-angled triangles Many right-angled triangles are found in our environment and their distinctive properties can be used to calculate lengths or distances, and angles or directions. Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics which deals with the relationship between the sides and angles of triangles. In this chapter you will explore the properties of right-angled triangles, the relationship of the sides that Pythagoras discovered and the three basic trigonometric ratios (tangent, sine and cosine). Then you will apply the information to solve real-world problems involving triangles.

Hypotenuse Pythagoras’ theorem Squares Square roots

Unit 15.1 Pythagoras’ theorem In this unit you will: describe Pythagoras’ theorem use Pythagoras’ theorem to calculate sides of right-angled triangles. Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician and philosopher. He discovered that in any rightangled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides. This is known as Pythagoras’ theorem.

F

We can draw grids on each side and count the squares or square the lengths of the sides to illustrate his theorem. The hypotenuse is the longest side of a rightangled triangle. It is always opposite the right angle.

Unit 15.2 The tangent ratio

Hypotenuse Opposite side Adjacent side Tangent Degrees Minutes

In this unit you will: determine the tangent of an acute angle use a calculator or table to find an angle, given the tangent ratio and vice versa use the tangent ratio to calculate angles or sides of a right-angled triangle.

In any right-angled triangle the hypotenuse is the longest side. It faces the right angle. The side facing an angle is the opposite side. There are two adjacent sides to an angle. But the hypotenuse already has its special name. In the diagram below AC is the hypotenuse, it faces the right angle B. AB is adjacent to
A and BC is opposite to
A. C

hypotenuse A

The ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side gives a fraction that is called the ‘tangent of the angle’. 3 QR For example, the tangent of
P

0.3. In short, tan P R 3 cm Q 10 cm P

Angles are measured in degrees. There are 60 minutes in 1 degree. We can use a calculator or a tangent table to find the value of the angles. Using tables The tables sometimes give the values as degrees and fractions of degrees and sometimes as degrees and minutes. Look in the body of the table for the number or the one closest to what you need e.g. 0.300.

Unit 16.1 Enlargement In this unit you will: understand and use the language and notation associated with enlargement enlarge 2-D shapes given a centre of enlargement and a positive whole number scale factor. Enlargement is a type of transformation. When a shape is enlarged, the lengths of all the sides are multiplied by a scale factor. The angles stay the same during enlargement. Every enlargement has a centre of enlargement. Lines joining equivalent points on the object and image meet at the centre of enlargement. When a shape is enlarged, the ratios of corresponding sides on the image and the object are equal to the scale factor. For any enlargement, if the scale factor is n, then the ratio of the corresponding sides on the object and the image is 1 : n. A

Similar Ratio Proportion

Unit 16.3 Problems involving enlargement In this unit you will: solve problems involving ratio and proportion.

When a shape is enlarged, the image is mathematically similar to the object. The angles on the object and the image are the same, and the ratios of corresponding sides on the image and the object are equal to the scale factor. An object and its enlarged image are in proportion. We can use this information to solve problems to do with enlargement.

Worked example Ali has a photograph that measures 10.5 cm by 15.5 cm. He takes the photo to be enlarged so that its sides are four times their original size. Allowing for a 2 cm border all round, what size frame should he buy? The photograph and its enlargement are proportional. If the original photograph measures 10.5 cm by 15.5 cm and is enlarged to four times the size, the ratios of the sides will be 1 : 4. The enlargement will therefore measure 42 cm by 62 cm, so the frame needs to measure 46 cm  66 cm.

You can draw a design of this double bed quilt as a tessellation of squares. This is how you might think about making and measuring a quilt: ● Material is 115 cm wide. Each completed square needs to be 15 cm across (150 mm  150 mm). ● Add 6 mm to each side of a square for the stitching, so each square is 16.2 cm across. ● Measure a strip of 16.2 cm wide across the width of the material. Make sure the lines are parallel, i.e. that your whole strip is 16.2 cm wide, before cutting. ● Use this strip to measure and cut the next strip. You will get six strips out of one metre. ● Cut a square template out of cardboard 16.2 cm  16.2 cm. Use this to cut out your squares. You will get seven squares out of one strip, 42 squares altogether. You can now work out how much material you have to buy. For this double bed quilt, use 9 squares across and 14 for the length. That is 126 squares so you need 3 metres of material. As the material is highly patterned you should choose a plain fabric for your edging or border. So that the border does not have a join down the length of the quilt, measure the completed length of your quilt and add double the width of the border. Buy this length of fabric. You can always use the extra for other quilts or share with a friend. Cut 10 cm width for the edging. This allows 2  6 mm for stitching and to fold over the side batting (stuffing). You can calculate the cost of this double bed quilt as follows. 2 m wine velvet 2 m purple velvet 4 m turquoise velvet 4.5 m calico (inside pockets) Threads 10 m batting 1 sheet Consumables

Case study – Quilt maker Susan Ross-Morrison I am a retired teacher. I started making quilts as a hobby because I’ve always loved sewing and I hate to sit around doing nothing. Anyone with an imagination can design a quilt. Whether you think of a pattern of strictly repeating designs, or whether you let your design take its own course – it doesn’t matter, you should let your imagination run. What matters is that you use basic techniques and get your measurements right.

People normally use 100% cotton, but you can also make a work of art by combining different textures and thicknesses. You should try to use the correct equipment if possible, but to experiment and try out this line of art, you can start with what is available to you, for example, rulers, cutting mats and scissors. Lay out the whole quilt on the floor or a big board to see the completed effect before you sew it. Once you are happy, stitch the first row of squares together (6 mm from the edge). Do the same with row 2 and then join row 1 to row 2 and so on. Stitch a border on to the four edges of your quilt using mitred corners.

Mitred corners Cut the batting 4 cm bigger than the quilt on all sides and tack it onto the whole back of the quilt. For the batting to stay in place, either a) stitch through the quilt and the batting along a few strips on the right side of the quilt, following the line between the strips b) stitch beads or buttons onto the quilt in a design of your own by hand. Turn the quilt over and now work on the back. Fold the border over the sides of the batting. Place a backing on the quilt. I use a sheet of the same width as the quilt so that the quilt does not slide off the bed. Plain flannelette or other fabric is also suitable. Tack this in place and then stitch right around it. Remember to autograph your quilt. For example: To Lulu, with lots of love Susan, 25 December 2005 I do mine in embroidery on the backing sheet.

You will also carry out investigations to determine probability of events and compare experimental and theoretical probability.

Key words

Event Outcome Theoretical probability Mutually exclusive

Unit 17.1 Probability In this unit you will: use the language of probability learn that the sum of probabilities of all the mutually exclusive outcomes of an event is 1. An event, such as rolling a dice, can have several outcomes. Throwing a six is one possible outcome. Probability is a measure of the chance of an outcome happening. It should be written as a fraction, decimal or percentage only. The theoretical probability of an outcome is shown as: number of ways the outcome can happen P(outcome)=  total number of outcomes Outcomes such as throwing a 1, throwing a 2 are examples of mutually exclusive outcomes, as they cannot occur at the same time. The outcomes throwing an even number, throwing a 2 are not mutually exclusive, as they can both occur at the same time. The sum of all mutually exclusive outcomes of an event is 1. If the probability of an outcome happening is p, the probability of the outcome not 3 happening is 1
p. For example, if the probability of an outcome happening is 11, the 3 8 probability of the outcome not happening is 1

Unit 17.2 Estimating probabilities

Theoretical probability Experimental probability

In this unit you will: estimate probabilities from experimental data.

The data from an experiment can be used to find an estimate of the theoretical probability. For some investigations, such as the one in the example, this may be the only type of probability that can be calculated for an experiment. The experimental probability (or estimated probability) is calculated in the same way as the theoretical probability. number of times an outcome happens Experimental probability   number of times the experiment was carried out The sum of the estimated probabilities will equal 1 if the table is recording all possible outcomes of the experiment.

Worked example Jenny is performing an experiment to explore the hypothesis ‘toast always lands butter side down’. She uses a piece of card with the word ‘butter’ written on one side to simulate the experiment. Estimate the probabilities of the two outcomes from her data. Direction of toast

Unit 17.3 Comparing probabilities In this unit you will: compare experimental and theoretical probabilities in a range of contexts.

Random event Theoretical Experimental

A dice is fair if every number has an equal chance of being thrown. When a fair dice is thrown, it is a random event, so we do not know beforehand what number the dice will show. We can throw the dice a number of times and use the results to calculate the experimental probability of, for example, throwing a 6. We can also find the theoretical probability of throwing a 6. We do not expect these two values to be equal, but it can be interesting to compare them.

a. Draw a diagram to show the estimated probability of a tail as the number of throws increases. b. Comment on the difference between the estimated probabilities and the actual probability of the number of tails. c. The experimental probability after 1000 throws is 0.487, so it still does not equal 0.5. Explain why this does not mean that the coin is biased. a.

b. The theoretical probability is 0.5. As the number of throws increases, the experimental probability comes closer to this value. c. As we do not expect the experimental probability to have exactly the same value as the theoretical probability, the coin is not necessarily biased. ‘Biased’ means ‘not fair’.
