Did you know?

 $\frac{2}{5}$ is a proper fraction. The numerator is smaller than the denominator. $\frac{9}{4}$ is an improper fraction. The numerator is bigger than the denominator. $1\frac{2}{3}$ is a mixed number . A mixed number is always bigger than 1 and consists of a whole number (1) plus a fraction ( $\frac{2}{3}$ ).

## To calculate by means of computations that are suitable to be used in adding ordinary fractions [lo 1.8.3]

1. Can you still remember how to add fractions? Let us see. Work together with a friend. Take turns to say the answers. Choose any two fractions and add them. Give your answer first as an improper fraction and then as a mixed number.

 1.1 1.2

## To recognise and use equivalent forms [lo 1.5.1]

1. Look carefully at the following questions and then complete them as neatly as possible.

EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS

 1.1 Colour $\frac{1}{2}$ of the figure in blue: 1.2 Colour $\frac{2}{4}$ of the figure in green: 1.3 Colour $\frac{4}{8}$ of the figure in yellow: 1.4 Colour $\frac{8}{\text{16}}$ of the figure in red:

Did you know?

We call fractions that are equal in size, equivalent fractions. The word equivalent means ‘the same as’ . Thus the fractions are equal.

Do you remember?

2. The following activity will prepare you for the addition and subtraction of fractions. Use your knowledge of equivalent fractions and answer the following. Where you are in doubt, use the diagram above.

2.1: $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\dots }{\text{10}}$

2.2: $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{\dots }{6}$

2.3: $\frac{\dots }{5}=\frac{8}{\text{10}}$

2.4: $\frac{1}{4}=\frac{\dots }{\text{12}}$

2.5: $\frac{5}{\dots }=\frac{\text{10}}{\text{12}}$

2.6: $\frac{4}{\text{10}}=\frac{\dots }{5}$

2.7: $\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3}{\dots }$

2.8: $\frac{\dots }{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

2.9: $\frac{3}{6}=\frac{\dots }{\text{12}}$

2.10: $\frac{4}{6}=\frac{\dots }{9}$

## Assessment

 Learning outcomes(LOs) LO 1 Numbers, Operations and RelationshipsThe learner is able to recognise, describe and represent numbers and their relationships, and counts, estimates, calculates and checks with competence and confidence in solving problems. Assessment standards(ASs) We know this when the learner: 1.1 counts forwards and backwards fractions; 1.2 describes and illustrates various ways of writing numbers in different cultures (including local) throughout history; 1.3 recognises and represents the following numbers in order to describe and compare them: common fractions to at least twelfths; 1.5 recognises and uses equivalent forms of the numbers listed above, including: 1.5.1 common fractions with denominators that are multiples of each other; 1.6 solves problems in context including contexts that may be used to build awareness of other Learning Areas, as well as human rights, social, economic and environmental issues such as: financial (including buying and selling, profit and loss, and simple budgets); LO 5 Data handlingThe learner will be able to collect, summarise, display and critically analyse data in order to draw conclusions and make predictions, and to interpret and determine chance variation. We know this when the learner: 5.3 organises and records data using tallies and tables; 5.5 draws a variety of graphs to display and interpret data (ungrouped) including: a pie graph.

what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell

is Bucky paper clear?
CYNTHIA
carbon nanotubes has various application in fuel cells membrane, current research on cancer drug,and in electronics MEMS and NEMS etc
NANO
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
Harper
Do you know which machine is used to that process?
