Unit 1 Place Value and Decimals

1.1 Place ValueThe objectives of this section are to

• revise how to write and speak whole numbers

• recognise the importance of place value

• round numbers to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, etc.

First note how we write and speak numbers. We'll look at the number 572 641 839.

We say

"Five hundred and seventy two million, six hundred and forty one thousand,eight hundred and thirty nine."

Now we consider rounding numbers.

7451 is 7450 to the nearest 10, since it is nearer to 7450 than to 7460(see the number line below).

74507451

7455 7460

7451 is 7500 to the nearest 100, since it is nearer to 7500 than to 7400.

7451 is 7000 to the nearest 1000, since it is nearer to 7000 than to 8000.

NoteThe convention is that '5' rounds up to the nearest 10, e.g. 35 to the nearest 10 is 40.

1.6 Order of Operations: BODMASThe objectives of this section are to

• revise division of whole numbers

• understand that the order of operations is important.

The process of division is multiplication in reverse. So, since 4 3 12 , then12 4 3 and 12 3 4 but you also need to remember the order in whichoperations must be carried out, which can be summarised by BODMAS:

Brackets first

Divide

Multiply

Add

1.8 Roman NumeralsThe objectives of this section are to

• understand Roman numerals

• convert Roman numerals to and from base 10 (Arabic) numbers.

The number system that we use in daily life is the base 10 (Arabic) system.

Roman numerals are an equivalent system of representing numbers.

In the Roman system we use

I for 1

V for 5

X for 10

L for 50

C for 100

D for 500

M for 1000

The values of consecutive letters are ADDED unless a letter with a lower valueappears in front of a letter with a higher value. When this is the case, the lowervalue letter is SUBTRACTED from the higher value, as shown in the followingexamples:

• placing I before V or before X to make the numbers 4 (IV) or 9 (IX)

• placing X before L or C to make the numbers 40 (XL) or 90 (XC)

• placing C before D or M to make 400 (CD) or 900 (CM).

Examples of the effects of the order in which letters are placed:

VII 5 1 1 7

XXV 10 10 5 25

IV 5 1 4−

IC 100 1 99−
