LEARNING UNIT 1

The wonderful world of RATIONAL NUMBERS

..................................................................................................................ACTIVITY 1.1 Differentiating between rational and irrational numbers

LO 1.2.7 1. Can you remember what each of the following represents?

N = { ........................................................................... }

N0 = { ........................................................................... }

Z = { ........................................................................... }

R = { ........................................................................... }

2. Provide the definition for:

� a rational number:

............................................................................................................................................

� an irrational number:

............................................................................................................................................

3. How would you represent each of the following?

3.1 Rational number......................... 3.2 Irrational number .........................

4. Complete the following table by marking relevant numbers with an X:

2/7 0 1 3 3 9 3 8 2,47 45.1 84

916

Rasional

Irrasional

5. Select the required numbers from the list:

32− ; 1 + 4 ; 49 + ; -4 ; 5

112 ; 2

21+

5.1 Integers: ......................................................................................................................

5.2 Rational numbers: ......................................................................................................

5.3 Irrational numbers: ......................................................................................................

Page 6: Math Gr8 m3 MAGICAL WORLD OF - Maths Excellencemathsexcellence.co.za/books/E Gd 8/Mathematics/1 Learner Modules... · properties). LO 3 We know this when ... sides of a right-angled

6. Explain what you know about an equivalent fraction.

............................................................................................................................................

7. Provide two equivalent fractions for the following: 72 = ............... = ...............

8. Provide the terms used to identify each of the following (e.g. proper fraction):

8.1 72

.....................................................................................................................

8.2 27

.....................................................................................................................

8.3 726 .....................................................................................................................

8.4 0,67 .....................................................................................................................

8.5 76,0 �� .....................................................................................................................

8.6 23 % .....................................................................................................................

Any of the above can be reduced to any of the others.

LO 1.2.7

..................................................................................................................ACTIVITY 1.2 Reduction of fractions to decimal numbers / recurring decimal numbers and vice versa

LO 1.2.2 LO 1.2.6 LO 1.3 LO 1.6.1 LO 1.9.1 1. Use your pocket calculator to reduce the following fraction to a decimal number:

2043 ..................................................

2. Explain how you would reduce this to a decimal number without the use of your pocket calculator. There are two methods:

Method 1: .................................................. (reduce denominator to 10 / 100 / 1 000)

Method 2: .................................................. (do division) (Let your educator assist you.)

� Do you see that the answer is the same – if the denominator cannot be reduced to multiples of 10 you have to apply the second method.

3. Now reduce each of the following to decimal numbers (round off, if necessary, to two

digits):

3.1 85 ..................................................

3.2 413 ..................................................

3.3 435 ..................................................

3.4 873 ..................................................

Page 7: Math Gr8 m3 MAGICAL WORLD OF - Maths Excellencemathsexcellence.co.za/books/E Gd 8/Mathematics/1 Learner Modules... · properties). LO 3 We know this when ... sides of a right-angled

3.5 76 ..................................................

3.6 97 ..................................................

4. Write the following decimal numbers as fractions or mixed numbers: (N.B.: All fractions have to be presented in their simplest form.)

4.1 6,008 ..................................................

4.2 4,65 ..................................................

4.3 0,375 ..................................................

4.4 7,075 ..................................................

4.5 13,65 ..................................................

4.6 0,125 ..................................................

5. How do we reduce fractions to recurring decimal numbers?

E.g. 115

Step 1: place a comma after the 5, i.e. 5, 0000

Step 2: carry on dividing until a pattern becomes visible - the pattern will be indicated by the recurring numbers.

5, 50 60 50 60

11 = 0,4545…… (45 is repeated --- 4 and 5 therefore are recurring) = 54,0 ��

� Now try the following:

5.1 97 ........................................................................................................................

5.2 655− ........................................................................................................................

5.3 99133 ........................................................................................................................

6. What is noticeable about fractions that are recurring decimal numbers (with regard to the

denominator)?

............................................................................................................................................

7. Now, before we provide the steps for reducing a recurring decimal number to a common

fraction, see if you are able to write the following as fractions by making use of the information from no. 6.

7.1 3,0 � ....................................... 7.2 54,0 �� .......................................

Page 8: Math Gr8 m3 MAGICAL WORLD OF - Maths Excellencemathsexcellence.co.za/books/E Gd 8/Mathematics/1 Learner Modules... · properties). LO 3 We know this when ... sides of a right-angled

7.3 320,0 �� ....................................... 7.4 300,0 � .......................................

8. The following provides complete steps for reducing a recurring decimal number to a common fraction:

e.g. 1,0 � = ????? Let 1,0 � = x 10x = 1,1111…..

− 1x = 0,1111….. 9x = 1 x = 9

1

Suggestion: Multiply by 10 (if you have one recurring figure). Multiply by 100 (if there are 2 recurring figures), etc.

9. Now try to do no. 7.2 in the way that is discussed in no. 8.

...........................................................................

LO 1.2.2 LO 1.2.6 LO 1.3 LO 1.6.1 LO 1.9.9

..................................................................................................................ACTIVITY 1.3 Reducing percentages to fractions and vice versa

LO 1.2.2 LO 1.2.6 LO 1.6.1 LO 1.9.1

1. What is the meaning of % (percentage)? .....................................................................

2. If you have to reduce any fraction to a percentage, you have to reduce the denominator

to 100.

� If this is not possible, you have to x 1%100

(This principle can be applied in any situation, e.g. when you want to reduce a test that is marked out of 15 to a mark out of 50, you need to multiply by 1

50 )

� Reduce the following mathematics test marks from a grade 8 class to percentages (to one decimal figure, where necessary):

2.1 2017 ....................................... 2.2 40

19 .......................................

2.3 5038 ....................................... 2.4 60

45 .......................................

3. Reduce each of the following percentages to a common fraction (or a mixed number):

3.1 55 % ....................................... 3.2 15,5% .......................................

LO 4.2.1 LO 4.8 LO 4.9 LO 4.10 � The following could be done in groups.

Practical exercise: Making you own tangram.

1. Cut out a cardboard square (10 cm x 10 cm).

2. Draw both diagonals, because they form part of the bases of some figures.

3. Divide the square in such a way that the complete figure consists of the following:

3.1 two large equilateral triangles with bases of 10 cm in length;

3.2 two smaller equilateral triangles, each with base 5 cm in length;

3.3 one medium equilateral triangle with adjacent sides 5 cm in length;

3.4 one square with diagonals of 5cm;

3.5 one parallelogram with opposite sides of 5 cm.

� Make two of these. Cut along all the lines so that you will have two sets of the above shapes.

LO 4.2.1 LO 4.8 LO 4.9 LO 4.10

4. Now trace the largest triangle of your tangram

in your workbook as a right-angled triangle.

5. Arrange the seven pieces to form a square and place this on the hypotenuse of the traced triangle.

6. Now arrange the two largest triangles to form a square and place this on one of the sides adja-cent to the right angle of the traced triangle.

7. Arrange the remaining pieces to form a square and place this on the other adjacent side.

8. Calculate the area of each square.

STATISTICS � Statistics is the field of study that deals with methods for collecting, processing and

analysing numerical facts. In this project we are going to collect, process and analyse specific numerical data.

A. Study the following terms and their definitions, as well as your mathematics textbook.

Making use of any additional sources will be to your advantage.

TERMS DEFINITIONS

1. Data numerical facts of values that are read or measured

2. Frequency table use a source.

3. Average = sum of data counts number of counts

4. Median of the middle, the middle number

5. Modus count occurring most frequently

6. Variation range (compass, scope)

highest value - (minus) lowest value

7. Graphs Pie chart

Pictogram

Bar graph

Broken line graph

B. Instructions

1. Choose one of the following as topic for data collection (or a topic of your own) and collect 40 numerical readings on this subject. These 40 readings comprise your data.

� Suggested topics:

� Height of learners

� Amount of pocket money

� Test marks

� Daily temperature at 16:00

� Number of hours that you sleep each night

Page 71: Math Gr8 m3 MAGICAL WORLD OF - Maths Excellencemathsexcellence.co.za/books/E Gd 8/Mathematics/1 Learner Modules... · properties). LO 3 We know this when ... sides of a right-angled

� Copy down your data.

2. Compile a frequency table for the data.

3. Use the frequency table and design TWO WAYS of representing your data graphically.

(This means that you may choose any TWO methods from no. 7 in A.)

4. Refer to your frequency table to calculate the following:

4.1 average

4.2 modus

4.3 median

4.4 variation range

5. Deduction:

� Write a brief paragraph, using your own words, on what you see as the purpose of statistics and list some examples.

� Use a computer to set out your work neatly and logically.

� This project must be presented as your individual effort and may not simply be taken from a book or off the Internet. Your parents should certify that this is your own work on the attached evaluation form.
