## Activity: decimal fractions [lo 1.1.1, lo 1.3.2, lo 1.7.4, lo 1.10]

1. Did you know?

The decimal system was developed about 500 AD by the Hindu’s in India. Johannes Kepler, a mathematician in The Netherlands, used the decimal comma for the first time in the early 1600’s. Prior to this, mathematicians used circles or bars to show the decimal comma. John Napier, a Scot, was the first to use the decimal point in 1617. Today England and the USA still use a decimal point instead of a comma.

2. Do you still remember?

Divide into groups of four. Make a list of where we use decimal fractions in our everyday lives.

3. Let us revise

1 438,576 = 1 000 + 400 + 30 + 8 + $\frac{5}{\text{10}}$ + $\frac{7}{\text{100}}$ + $\frac{6}{1\text{000}}$

3.1 Write down the value of the underlined digit in each number below:

a) 532,1 6 8 ..................................................

b) 326,43 2 ..................................................

c) 2 91,567 ..................................................

d) 460, 2 31 ..................................................

e) 8 8 6,434 ..................................................

f) 1 467,23 9 ..................................................

g) 2 321,456 ..................................................

h) 3 641,9 8 5 ..................................................

i) 2 634, 5 27 ..................................................

j) 8 139,43 8 ..................................................

3.2 Complete the following:

e.g.. 5,3 = 5 + $\frac{3}{\text{10}}$

a) 6,9 = 6 + ....................

b) 26,38 = 26 + .................... + ....................

c) 9,824 = 9 + .................... + .................... + ....................

d) 16,308 = 16 + .................... + ....................

4. Work together with a friend. Take turns to count aloud:

a) 3,8 ; 3,9 ; 4 ; 4,1 ; . . . to 8

b) 14 ; 13,5 ; 13 ; 12,5 ; . . . to 6

c) 2,4 ; 2,6 ; 2,8 ; . . . to 7

d) 18,8 ; 18,6 ; 18,4 ; to 10

5. Can you still remember?

If we want to add the same number continuously, e.g. 0,01 (one hundredth), we programme the calculator in this way : 0,01 + + = = =

a) Programme your calculator to add on 0,06 each time and complete:

0,06 ; ................. ; ................. ; ................. ; ................. ; ................. ;

................. ; ................. ; ................. ; ................. ; .................

0,009 ; ................. ; ................. ; ................. ; ................. ;

................. ; ................. ; ................. ; ................. ; .................

c) Add on 3,7 each time with the help of you calculator:

3,7 ; ................. ; ................. ; ................. ; ................. ;

................. ; ................. ; ................. ; ................. ; .................

6. Complete the following WITHOUT a calculator:

a) 0,2 ; 0,4 ; 0,6 ; ................. ; ................. ; ................. ; .................

b) 7 ; 6,5 ; 6 ; ................. ; ................. ; ................. ; .................

c) 0,998 ; 0,995 ; 0,992 ; ............. ; ............. ; ............ ;........... ; ...........

d) 0,004 ; 0,008 ; 0,012 ; ............. ; ............. ; ............ ;........... ; ...........

7. BRAIN-TEASER!

Complete the following flow diagram. (You may use your calculator).

8. Let us see how well you do in the first mental test. Write down only the answers:

a) 0,7 + 0,3 = .................

b) 2,4 + 0,8 = .................

c) 0,35 + 0,4 = .................

d) 5 – 0,8 = .................

e) 0,8 + 0,6 = .................

f) 3,4 – 0,5 = .................

g) 3,45 – 0,3 = .................

h) 3,45 – 0,03 = .................

i) 2,45 – 2,4 = .................

j) 2,45 + 2,05 = .................

k) 4 – 0,02 = .................

l) 0,38 + 0,64 = .................

m) 1,25 + 1,25 = .................

n) 6,9 + 8,7 = .................

o) 15 – 3,6 = .................

9. Time for self-assessment

## 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 1.1 We know this when the learner counts forwards and backwards in the following ways:

1.1.1 in decimal intervals;

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

1.3.2 decimal (to at least three decimal places), fractions and percentages;

Assessment Standard 1.7: We know this when the learner estimates and calculates by selecting and using operations appropriate to solving problems that involve:

1.7.4 addition, subtraction and multiplication of positive decimals to at least 2 decimal places;

Assessment Standard 1.10: We know this when the learner uses a range of strategies to check solutions and judges the reasonableness of solutions.

where we get a research paper on Nano chemistry....?
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

no nanotechnology is also a part of physics and maths it requires angle formulas and some pressure regarding concepts

what is variations in raman spectra for nanomaterials
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

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

Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
