Set 1

In this unit, we would like to quickly review some basic arithmetic skills that students should have learnt in Grade 6-8. We will review topics like BEDMAS (which is the rule that governs the order of operations with numbers) and Adding/Subtracting/Multiplying/Dividing Integers.

As well we will introduce the concept of Rational Numbers versus Irrational Numbers to students.

Our main goals in this unit are:

• Identify if a number is Real, Non-Real, Irrational, Rational, Integers, Whole Numbers or Natural Numbers.

• Be able to convert any number into its decimal form such that we can compare it to other numbers.

• Apply BEDMAS to integers to perform manual calculations of various levels of difficulties and complexities.

• If time permitting, to learn how to work with complex calculations of Rational & Irrational Numbers on the calculator.
