Operations on Rational Numbers
Mental and written methods simplify calculations.
Rounding to decimal places
Approximate to a specific number of decimal digits.
Standard Form — representation?
Expressing numbers as a × 10^m.
Upper and Lower Bounds — purpose?
Define the range of possible true values.
Units of Measurement — importance?
Standardize quantities for clear communication.
Distance and Speed — formula?
Distance = Speed × Time.
Density — formula?
Density = Mass / Volume.
Constructions — tools?
Straightedge and compass.
Angles — types?
Acute, right, obtuse, straight.
3D Shapes — properties?
Faces, edges, vertices, symmetry.
Operations on Rational Numbers — mental methods?
Decompose numbers, use known facts.
Rounding — intermediate steps?
Avoid to prevent error accumulation.
Standard Form — convert?
Rewrite numbers as a × 10^m.
Bounds for measurements — discrete data?
±0.5 units from measured value.
Units of measurement — examples?
Meter, kilogram, liter.
Distance and Speed — graph?
Slope indicates speed; flat line = stop.
Density — units?
kg/m³ or g/cm³.
Constructions — bisect?
Divide segments or angles into two equal parts.
Angles — sum in triangle?
180°.
3D drawings — purpose?
Visualize and interpret spatial structures.
