## Memorandum

INTRODUCTION

The learning programme for grade six consists of five modules:

1. Number concept, Addition and Subtraction

2. Multiplication and Division

3. Fractions and Decimal fractions

4. Measurement and Time

5. Geometry; Data handling and Probability

• It is important that educators complete the modules in the above sequence, as the learners will require the knowledge and skills acquired through a previous module to be able to do the work in any subsequent module.

COMMON AND DECIMAL FRACTIONS (LO 1; 2 AND 5)

LEARNING UNIT 1 FOCUSES ON COMMON FRACTIONS

• This module continues the work dealt with in grade 5. Addition and subtraction of fractions are extended and calculation of a fraction of a particular amount is revised.
• Check whether the learners know the correct terminology and are able to use the correct strategies for doing the above correctly.
• Critical outcome 5 (Communicating effectively by using visual, symbolic and /or language skills in a variety of ways) is addressed.
• It should be possible to work through the module in 3 weeks.
• ** Activity 17 is designed as a portfolio task. It is a very simple task, but learners should do it neatly and accurately. They must be informed in advance of how the educator will be assessing the work.
• LEARNING UNIT 2 FOCUSES ON DECIMAL FRACTIONS
• This module extends the work that was done in grade 5. Learners should be able to do rounding of decimal fractions to the nearest tenth, hundredth and thousandth. Emphasise the use of the correct method (vertical) for addition and subtraction. Also spend sufficient time on the multiplication and division of decimal fractions.
• As learners usually have difficulty with the latter, you could allow 3 to 4 weeks for this section of the work.
• ** Activity 19 is a task for the portfolio. The assignment is fairly simple, but learners should complete it neatly and accurately. They must be informed in advance of how the educator will be assessing the work.
 4 IMPROPER FRACTION MIXED NUMBER 4.1 $\frac{\text{14}}{4}$ 3 $\frac{1}{2}$ 4.2 $\frac{\text{19}}{6}$ 3 $\frac{1}{6}$ 4.3 $\frac{\text{15}}{7}$ 2 $\frac{1}{7}$ 4.4 $\frac{\text{11}}{8}$ 1 $\frac{3}{8}$ 4.5 $\frac{9}{2}$ 4 $\frac{1}{2}$

## Common fractions

In Grade 5 we spent much time working with fractions. Before beginning this year’s work, we need to know how well you can remember what you have learned! See if you can link the words in column A with the correct meanings in column B:

 A B Numerator Indicates how many equal parts are coloured in/ taken Denominator Numerator is smaller than the denominator Equivalent fractions Consists of a whole number and a proper fraction and is always bigger than 1 Proper fraction Indicates the number of equal parts into which the whole has been divided Improper fraction Fractions of equal size Mixed (fractional) number The numerator is bigger than the denominator and the fraction is always bigger than 1

## Activity: to recognise and classify numbers in order to describe and compare them [lo 1.3.3]

1. Kom ons hersien nog! Werk saam met ‘n maat en sê watter breukdeel van die vierkant Work with a friend and indicate which fraction of the square is represented by:

A : ………………………………………………

B : ………………………………………………

C : ………………………………………………

A + C : …………………………………………..

B + C : …………………………………………..

C + D : …………………………………………..

A + D : …………………………………………..

A + B : …………………………………………..

B + D : …………………………………………..

2. All the answers comprise …………………………………………... fractions.

3. Take a look at the picture of the bowl of apples. Colour the apples that represent proper fractions yellow, the improper fractions green and the mixed numbers red.

4. Complete the table:

 IMPROPER FRACTION MIXED NUMBER E.g. thirteen fifths $\frac{\text{13}}{5}$ $2\frac{3}{5}$ 4.1 fourteen quarters 4.2 nineteen sixths 4.3 fifteen sevenths 4.4 eleven eighths 4.5 nine halves

## Assessment

Learning Outcome 1: The learner will be able to recognise, describe and represent numbers and their relationships, and to count, estimate, calculate and check with competence and confidence in solving problems.

Assessment Standard 1.3: We know this when the learner recognises and represents the following numbers in order to describe and compare them:

1.3.3 common fractions, including specifically tenths, hundreds and percentages.

are nano particles real
yeah
Joseph
Hello, if I study Physics teacher in bachelor, can I study Nanotechnology in master?
no can't
Lohitha
where we get a research paper on Nano chemistry....?
nanopartical of organic/inorganic / physical chemistry , pdf / thesis / review
Ali
what are the products of Nano chemistry?
There are lots of products of nano chemistry... Like nano coatings.....carbon fiber.. And lots of others..
learn
Even nanotechnology is pretty much all about chemistry... Its the chemistry on quantum or atomic level
learn
da
no nanotechnology is also a part of physics and maths it requires angle formulas and some pressure regarding concepts
Bhagvanji
hey
Giriraj
Preparation and Applications of Nanomaterial for Drug Delivery
revolt
da
Application of nanotechnology in medicine
has a lot of application modern world
Kamaluddeen
yes
narayan
what is variations in raman spectra for nanomaterials
ya I also want to know the raman spectra
Bhagvanji
I only see partial conversation and what's the question here!
what about nanotechnology for water purification
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
yes that's correct
Professor
I think
Professor
Nasa has use it in the 60's, copper as water purification in the moon travel.
Alexandre
nanocopper obvius
Alexandre
what is the stm
is there industrial application of fullrenes. What is the method to prepare fullrene on large scale.?
Rafiq
industrial application...? mmm I think on the medical side as drug carrier, but you should go deeper on your research, I may be wrong
Damian
How we are making nano material?
what is a peer
What is meant by 'nano scale'?
What is STMs full form?
LITNING
scanning tunneling microscope
Sahil
how nano science is used for hydrophobicity
Santosh
Do u think that Graphene and Fullrene fiber can be used to make Air Plane body structure the lightest and strongest. Rafiq
Rafiq
what is differents between GO and RGO?
Mahi
what is simplest way to understand the applications of nano robots used to detect the cancer affected cell of human body.? How this robot is carried to required site of body cell.? what will be the carrier material and how can be detected that correct delivery of drug is done Rafiq
Rafiq
if virus is killing to make ARTIFICIAL DNA OF GRAPHENE FOR KILLED THE VIRUS .THIS IS OUR ASSUMPTION
Anam
analytical skills graphene is prepared to kill any type viruses .
Anam
Any one who tell me about Preparation and application of Nanomaterial for drug Delivery
Hafiz
what is Nano technology ?
write examples of Nano molecule?
Bob
The nanotechnology is as new science, to scale nanometric
brayan
nanotechnology is the study, desing, synthesis, manipulation and application of materials and functional systems through control of matter at nanoscale
Damian
Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
