Natural numbers:
A natural number is string of ones.
| one
|| two
||| three
|||| four
||||| five
• Concept of successor and predecessor
Comparison of numbers using equality& inequality
• If we two natural numbers ‘n’ and ‘m’
n = m ↔ ones in ‘n’ and ‘m’ are equal
n < m ↔ ones in ‘n’ are less than ‘m’ ( that’s mean n comes first or
before in sequence of natural numbers.
What is a number:
• A quantity or amount
• Two pens, seven books, five boys etc
• Digits(figures):
Digits are single symbols used to represent numbers.
|,X,C,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0
• Numerals:
a digit or group of digits denoting a number is called numeral
5 , 74 , 345 etc
History of representation of
numbers:
• Tally system:
We use bars to represent any number in this system
• Associative law:
(a + b) + c = a + ( b + c )
• Additive identity:
a+0=a
Concept of multiplication:
• Definition:
The product of numbers m and n
is the string formed by copy of m for every | in n.
Its symbol is x
Activity:
Laws of multiplication:
• Commutative law:
axb=bxa
• Associative law:
(a x b) x c = a x ( b x c )
• Multiplicative identity:
ax1=a
Subtraction:
It is inverse(opposite) of addition.its symbol
is -.
• k+m=n ↔ k=n-m
Examples and activities:
Distributive laws:
distributive law of multiplication over addition:
• a x (b + c) = (a x b)+(a x c)
• (a + b) x c = a x c + b x c
• (a - b) x c = a x c - b x c
Division :
It is inverse of multiplication. Its symbol is .
• kxm=n ↔ k=
• Examples:
• + =
• =
• x =
Multiplication and long division:
• Examples and activities:
• Factors:
if k x m = n then we say that k and m are factors of n.
example:
3 x 5 = 15 then 3 and 5 are factors of 15.
Prime and composite numbers:
