Whole numbers
Introduction:

What do you think a whole number is?

In this activity we are going to look at
whole numbers:

Whole numbers are simply the

numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, (and so on)

Counting in whole numbers

A whole number is a number that is

not a fraction or a decimal.

Comparing and ordering whole

The rules of fractions are as simple as pie,
Learn them at your own risk otherwise good-bye.
When adding some fractions as one,
Make denominators the same, youre soon done.
The last step has no stress,
Just add numerators and the answers success!
Subtracting is pretty much the same,
Just take one numerator from the other and youre in the game.

Test
Introduction:
These test tips should be given to the learners in preparation for their test.
Tips!
Before looking at what to prepare for the test, lets see what we did during the last
two terms.
You should ask yourself the following questions:
Before the test
Have you attended all your mathematics classes up to now? Remember, in
mathematics one concept builds on another concept. If you missed any classes,
make sure that you have caught up all the work in order to prepare for your test.
Have you been doing all your homework? Remember, if you really want to do
well, you always have to do your homework assignments. Check if you did all of
them.
Preparing for your test.
Do you practice mathematics every day? Remember that you should practice
and understand in order to do well in your tests.
Do you ever ask for help? Remember, it is important to ask for help if you dont
understand. You should always feel free to discuss any problem with your teacher.
Do you fully understand all the examples? Going through all the examples will
prepare you better for the tests.
GOOD LUCK with your Mathematics test!
