SECTION 4.1 ARITHMETIC Chain of Operations
Following the Order of OperationsThe order of operations is the order you must follow when making calculations in a chain of operations.
To avoid getting an incorrect result from a chain of operations, it is important to follow the order of operations.
Here is the order to follow.
1. Operations in brackets.
2. Exponentiation (exponents).
3. Multiplication and division, from left to right.
4. Addition and subtraction, from left to right.
Here are the steps for solving the following chain of operations: 4 × 6 ÷ 8 + 32 − (2 + 3) × 2 = ?
Steps Example
1. Do all operations in brackets. 4 × 6 ÷ 8 + 32 − (2 + 3) × 2 = ?
4 × 6 ÷ 8 + 32 − 5 × 2 = ?
2. Do the exponentiation (exponents). 4 × 6 ÷ 8 + 32 − 5 × 2 = ?
4 × 6 ÷ 8 + 9 − 5 × 2 = ?
3. Do the multiplication and division, from left to right.
4 × 6 ÷ 8 + 9 − 5 × 2 = ?
3 + 9 − 10 = ?
4. Do the addition and subtraction, from left to right.
3 + 9 − 10 = ?
12 − 10 = 2
4 × 6 ÷ 8 + 32 − (2 + 3) × 2 = 2
WORK IT OUT
1 Add brackets to each chain of operations to get 24 as a result.
a) 3 + 5 × 2 + 2 × 4 = 24 b) 30 − 2 + 6 × 3 + 2 × 9 = 24
c) 100 ÷ 4 − 12 − 11 = 24 d) 6 × 8 − 2 − 12 = 24
A series of mathematical
operations is called a “chain of operations.”

ARITHMETIC Determining Numerical Equivalencies
Using Relationships Between Operations SECTION 4.2
Associative, Commutative and Distributive PropertiesAssociative, commutative and distributive properties make calculating mathematical operations easier.
• The associative property applies to addition and multiplication. It groups the numbers in an equation in different ways without changing the result.
Examples:
Associative Property of Addition Associative Property of Multiplication
3 + 6 + (2 + 8) = 3 + (6 + 2) + 8
3 + 6 + 10 = 3 + 8 + 8
19 = 19
2 × (4 × 5) × 6 = (2 × 4) × 5 × 6
2 × 20 × 6 = 8 × 5 × 6
240 = 240
• The commutative property also applies to addition and multiplication. It moves around the numbers in an equation in different ways without changing the result.
Examples:
Commutative Property of Addition Commutative Property of Multiplication
20 + 35 + 7 + 3 = 35 + 3 + 20 + 7
65 = 656 × 4 × 2 × 3 = 4 × 6 × 3 × 2
144 = 144
• The distributive property applies to multiplication. It distributes multiplication over addition or subtraction.
Examples:
Distributive Property of Addition Distributive Property of Subtraction
1. 8 × (4 + 5) = (8 × 4) + (8 × 5)
2. = 32 + 40
= 72
1. Distribute 8 over 4 and 5.
2. Add the 2 products.
1. 10 × (16 − 9) = (10 × 16) − (10 × 9)
2. = 160 − 90
= 70
1. Distribute 10 over 16 and 9.
2. Subtract the 2 products.

ARITHMETIC Multiplying Decimals SECTION 4.3
Multiplying DecimalsDecimals are multiplied in the same way that natural numbers are multiplied. The decimal point is then added based on the number of decimal places in the 2 factors.
Here are the steps for multiplying one decimal by another decimal.
Steps Example: 236.5 × 5.7
1. Align the 2 numbers to be multiplied into columns.
2 3 6.5× 5.7
2. Multiply the 2 numbers. Ignore the decimals points.
1 3 22 4 3
2 3 6 5× 5 7
1 1
1 6 5 5 5+ 1 1 8 2 5 0
1 3 4 8 0 5
3. Count the total number of digits after the decimal point in both factors. (In this case, there are 2.)
236.5 There is 1 digit after the decimal point.
5.7 There is 1 digit after the decimal point.
4. Add a decimal point to the product before the last 2 digits.
2 3 6.5× 5.7 There are 2 digits after
the decimal point.1 3 4 8.0 5
1 3 22 4 3 2 4
2 3 6.5 2 3 7× 5.7 × 6
1 1 1 4 2 21 6 5 5 5
+ 1 1 8 2 5 0
1 3 4 8 0 5
The product is therefore close to 1400, not 14 000.
.
When multiplying the 1st factor by the digit in the tens position in the 2nd factor, start by placing a 0.
Think about it!
To make sure the decimal point is placed correctly, round
the 2 factors to make an approximation of the product.
Then, multiply.

Dividing Natural Numbers with a Decimal RemainderDivision is an operation for finding how many times a divisor goes into a dividend. If the quotient is not an integer (whole number), the remainder is expressed with decimals.
Here are the steps for expressing the remainder of a division with decimals.
Steps Example: 32 32401. The divisor 32 does not go into 3 thousands,
the 1st digit of the dividend. So, use 32 hundreds. • 32 goes into 32 one time. Write the number 1
above 2 hundreds.• Multiply 1 × 32 = 32 and write 32 below 32 hundreds. • Subtract 32 – 32 = 0.
2. Bring down the 4 tens. • 32 goes into 4 zero times.
Write the number 0 above 4 tens.• Multiply 0 × 32 = 0 and write 0 below 4 tens. • Subtract 4 – 0 = 4.
3. Bring down the 0 units. • 32 goes into 40 one time. Write the number 1 above 0 units.• Multiply 1 × 32 = 32 and write 32 below 40 units. • Subtract 40 – 32 = 8.
4. Since the difference is not equal to 0, there is a remainder. • Add a decimal point and 2 zeroes to the dividend
and a decimal point to the quotient.
5. Bring down the 1st 0. • 32 goes into 80 two times. Write the number 2 above 0 tenths. • Multiply 2 × 32 = 64 and write 64 below 80. • Subtract 80 – 64 = 16.
6. Bring down the 2nd 0. • 32 goes into 160 five times. Write the number 5 above 0 hundredths.• Multiply 5 × 32 = 160 and write 160 below 160. • Subtract 160 – 160 = 0.
Do the inverse operation to check your answer: 101.25 × 32 = 3240

• Survey questions are designed to collect data. Here are 3 characteristics of an effective survey question:
Examples1. A clear question linked to the subject
of the survey.• Which season is your favourite for
doing sports? a) Spring b) Summer c) Fall d) Winter
2. A question, often multiple choice, that is easy to read and simple to answer.
• Which sport impresses you the most: snowboarding, skateboarding or surfing?
3. A question that leads to an answer that is easy to process.
• Between skiing, snowboarding and skating, which winter sport do you like best?
• A data table can help you to organize survey data and compile your answers.
Example:
A data table has 4 elements.1. A survey title.2. Answer categories.3. A tally of answers (each answer is represented by ).4. Results (the total number of answers in each category).

STATISTICS Understanding and Calculating the Arithmetic Mean SECTION 4.6
Understanding and Calculating the Arithmetic MeanThe arithmetic mean is the sum of a set of numbers divided by the total number of parts in the set.
In statistics, it is used for analyzing a group of data and for finding an average value, which can then replace the individual data to redistribute it evenly.
To calculate the arithmetic mean:
1) add all of the data within a group;
2) divide the sum by the total number of data values.
Example 1 : Example 2 :
Calculate the average amount of snow accumulated at Flurry Mountain each month of the ski season:
• December: 15 cm
• January: 46 cm
• February: 72 cm
• March: 34 cm
• April: 19 cm
1. Add 15 + 46 + 72 + 34 + 19 = 186
2. Divide by the number of pieces of data (5): 186 ÷ 5 = 37.2
The average amount of snow accumulated each month is 37.2 cm. If this amount of snow were to be evenly distributed over the 5 months of the ski season, the average would be 37.2 cm per month.
Calculate the average amount of time Collin spends snowboarding each week:
• 1st week: 180 min
• 2nd week: 196 min
• 3rd week: 265 min
• 4th week: 0 min
• 5th week: 324 min
1. Add 180 + 196 + 265 + 0 + 324 = 965 minutes
2. Divide by the number of pieces of data (5): 965 ÷ 5 = 193 minutes
The average amount of time Collin spends snowboarding is 965 minutes per week. If this amount of time were to be evenly distributed over his 5-week training period, the average would be 193 minutes per week.

ARITHMETIC Dividing a Decimal by
a Natural Number Less than 11 SECTION 4.7
Dividing a Decimal by a Natural Number Less than 11Division calculates the number of times a divisor fits into a dividend. The dividend is not always an integer.
Decimals are divided in the same way that natural numbers are divided. Simply add one more step: the decimal point.
Steps Example: 6 271.62
1. Write the numbers in the division by placing the divisor to the left of the bracket.
2. Divide the whole part as you would normally do.
• The divisor 6 does not go into 2 hundreds. Use 27 tens.6 goes into 27 four times: 6 × 4 = 24. There are 3 tens left.
• Bring down the 1 unit. There are now 31 units to divide.6 goes into 31 five times: 6 × 5 = 30. There is 1 unit left.
3. When you have finished dividing the whole part, move on to the decimal part.
• Add a decimal point to the quotient before bringing down the tenths.
• Bring down the 6 tenths. There are now 16 tenths.6 goes into 16 two times: 6 × 2 = 12. There are 4 tenths left.
• Bring down the 2 hundredths. There are now 42 hundredths.6 goes into 42 seven times.

Art Meets Mathematics
In mathematics, frieze patterns and tessellations are linked to the study of geometric transformations. In art, they can be found in embellishments adorning all types of creations. Stained glass windows in churches and cathedrals often have patterns that are repeated through reflection and translation.
Sailors have relied on Cartesian planes for years to locate objects and animals at sea. For example, the precise coordinates of a small island in the Pacific Ocean can be determined by overlapping a sea chart with a Cartesian plane.

SECTION 5.1 ARITHMETIC Estimating and Measuring Volume Locating Integers on a Number Line Comparing Integers
Reading and Writing IntegersIntegers are whole numbers that are part of a set {…, –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …} represented by the symbol . This set contains positive integers (greater than 0) and negative integers (less than 0).
–4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4
Negative integers Positive integers
Positive and negative integers are used every day to express such things as:
• temperature (–15 °C, 22 °C);
• money (–$10 is a loss, while $10 is a gain).
Locating Integers on a Number LineIntegers can be represented on a horizontal axis or a vertical axis.
• On a horizontal axis, negative integers are to the left of 0 and positive integers are to the right of 0.

MEASUREMENT Measuring and Estimating Temperature SECTION 5.2
Estimating and Measuring Temperature A thermometer is used to measure temperature.
The most common unit of measure is degree Celsius (°C).
A thermometer has a vertical scale.
• The temperature gets hotter as the numbers get closer to the top of the thermometer.
• The temperature gets colder as the numbers get closer to the bottom of the thermometer.
Examples:−7 °C is warmer than −24 °C.5 °C is colder than 14 °C.
Just like the numbers on a number line, all numbers below 0 °C represent negative temperatures, such as −10 °C. All numbers above 0 °C represent positive temperatures, such as 15 °C.
As with integers, you can calculate the difference between 2 temperatures.
Example: If it is −6 °C in the morning and 4 °C in the afternoon, the difference between the 2 temperatures is 10 degrees: 6 degrees between −6 and 0, and 4 degrees between 0 and 4.
Here are some important temperatures:
• Water freezes at a temperature of 0 °C.
• Water boils at a temperature of 100 °C.
• The normal body temperature of a human is 37 °C.
• The average temperature of a freezer is −18 °C.
• The average temperature of a refrigerator is 3 °C.

GEOMETRY Locating Points in a Cartesian Plane SECTION 5.3
Locating Points in a Cartesian Plane A 4-quadrant Cartesian plane is made up of 2 perpendicular number lines.
• The horizontal number line is called the x-axis.
• The vertical number line is called the y-axis.
• The point at which these 2 axes meet in the Cartesian plane is called the origin. The origin’s coordinates are (0, 0).
• A Cartesian plane is separated into 4 quadrants, which correspond to the 4 regions bordered by the axes.
• Each number line has a scale of negative and positive numbers. The negative numbers are to the left of 0 on the horizontal axis and below 0 on the vertical axis.
• A point’s position is indicated by a pair of numbers known as coordinates. These coordinates are shown between brackets and are separated by a comma, such as (−4, 5).
• The 1st number in a pair indicates the position of a point on the horizontal axis (x), while the 2nd number shows its position on the vertical axis (y).

Translation arrow
Translation is a geometric transformation that moves all of a figure’s points in the same direction and along the same distance. The figure keeps its shape, its orientation and its dimensions; it slides.
Translation is represented by a translation arrow. This arrow shows the translation’s direction and the length that it must move.
In Figure 2, the translation arrow indicates that the pattern must move 3 squares to the right. In Figure 3, the translation arrow shows that the pattern must move 4 squares to the right and 2 squares down.

MEASUREMENT Estimating and Measuring Mass
Establishing Relationships Between Units of Measure SECTION 5.5
Estimating and Measuring MassMass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object or living thing.
The international system of units (SI) is used to measure mass. Grams (g) and kilograms (kg) are the most common units of measure for mass.
1000 (g) = 1 kg, so 500 g = 1
2 kg.
A scale is used for finding the mass of an object, a product, a food item, etc.
A seashell has a mass of approximately 1 g while this fish has a mass of approximately 1 kg.
Establishing Relationships Between Units of MeasureThe following table compares units of measure for mass.
Unit of measure Kilogram Hectogram Decagram Gram Decigram Centigram Milligram
Symbol kg hg dag g dg cg mg
1st number 6
Equivalency 6 0 0 0
2nd number 4 2 5 0
Equivalency 4 2 5
3rd number 0 0 3 7
Equivalency 3 7
Note: Hectograms, decagrams, decigrams, centigrams and milligrams are not studied at the primary level, but it is useful to know their place in the table of units of measure.
The table demonstrates that:
1) 6 kg = 6000 g 2) 4250 g = 4.25 kg 3) 0.037 kg = 37 g (6 x 1000) (4250 ÷ 1000) (0.037 x 1000)

MEASUREMENT Establishing Relationships Between
Units of Measure for Time SECTION 5.6
Establishing Relationships Between Units of Measure for TimeTime is measured in years, months, days (d), hours (h), minutes (min) and seconds (s).
One hour = 60 minutes
One day = 24 hours
One minute = 60 seconds
One year = 12 months = 52 weeks = 365 days (366 in a leap year)
Reminder
Use base 60 to convert units of measure for hours, minutes and seconds.
Example of addition 2 h 35 min 23 s + 4 h 15 min 49 s
• Place the units of time in columns. Add.
1 1
2 h 35 min 23 s+ 4 h 15 min 49 s
6 h 50 min 72 s
• Convert the seconds into minutes. 72 s = 60 s + 12 s = 1 min + 12 s
• Result: 6 h 50 min 72 s = 6 h 51 min 12 s
Example of subtraction 7 h 33 min – 2 h 50 min
• Place the units of time in columns.
7 h 33 min– 2 h 50 min
• Subtract in base 60. Borrow from hours: 1 h = 60 min, so 33 + 60 = 93, and subtract 93 min – 50 min: 93 – 50 = 43

Enumerating Possible Outcomes of a Random Experiment Using a Table and a Tree DiagramThe outcome of a random experiment is based on chance. It is therefore impossible to know the outcome in advance. For instance, it is impossible to know:
• the colour of a marble picked at random from a bag;
• the section on which a spinner’s arrow will stop;
• a contestant whose name is randomly drawn from a hat.
A tree diagram or table can be used to represent all the possible outcomes of a random experiment.

Experiment with Known Theoretical Probabilities SecTIoN 6.2
Comparing the Outcomes of a Random Experiment with Known Theoretical Probabilities
A random experiment is based on chance. It is impossible to know
the outcome in advance.
However, it is possible to determine the probability that an event
will happen. theoretical probability relies on mathematics.
For example, it can be determined that the probability of randomly
drawing a spade from a standard deck of 52 playing cards is
13
52 or
1
4, therefore 25%.
In theory, if you were to repeat this experiment 20 times, you should
draw a spade 5 times since 1
4 is equal to
5
20. In reality, this is not
always the case.
Look at the results obtained by 10 students who conducted the
playing cards experiment 20 times. Here are the number of spades
drawn by each student.

The total number of spades drawn by 10 students is 48
200.
Therefore, the result is slightly less than the theoretical probability of 50
200.
As an experiment is repeated more often, the results get closer to the
theoretical probability.
For example, if the results of 25 students who conducted the

Nets of Solids or Convex Polyhedrons A convex polyhedron contains all the line segments connecting any two vertices (points) within it. Every face of a convex polyhedron can be laid on a flat surface.
A nonconvex, or concave, polyhedron has at least one line segment connecting two vertices outside it.
The net of a polyhedron is the 2-dimensional plane figure obtained when its surfaces are laid flat as if it were unfolded.

Geometry Testing Euler’s Theorem on Convex Polyhedrons SecTIoN 6.5
Testing Euler’s Theorem on Convex Polyhedrons In the 18th century, the great mathematician Leonhard Euler discovered a formula for easily calculating the relationship between the number of faces (F), vertices (V) and edges (e) of a convex polyhedron. This formula, called “Euler’s theorem,” is: F + V – 2 = e
Example:
Polyhedron Euler’s Theorem: F + V – 2 Number of Edges
Pentagonal prism
7 faces + 10 vertices = 17
17 – 2 = 15 15
Square pyramid
5 faces + 5 vertices = 10
10 – 2 = 88
Cube6 faces + 8 vertices = 14
14 – 2 = 1212
Triangular pyramid
4 faces + 4 vertices = 8
8 – 2 = 66
