TEACHING POINTS KEY CONCEPTS

1. NUMBER SYSTEM
Rational Numbers • Properties of rational numbers. (including identities). Using general form of
expression to describe properties
• Representation of rational numbers on the number line
• Between any two rational numbers there lies another rational number
• Word problems
Exponents and Powers • Laws of exponents with integral powers
• Square and Square roots using factor method and division method for numbers
containing (a) no more than total 4 digits and (b) no more than 2 decimal places
• Cubes and cube roots (only factor method for numbers containing at most 3
digits)
Playing with numbers • Writing and understanding a 2 and 3-digit number in generalized form
(JOOa + IOb + c, where a, b, c can be only digit 0-9) and engaging with various
puzzles Children to solve and create problems and puzzles.
• Deducing the divisibility test rules of 2, 3, 5, 9, IO for a two or three-digit
number expressed in the general form.
Sets • Union and intersection of sets

• Multiplication and d ivision of algebraic expression (Coefficient should be
integers)
• Identities (a ± b) 2 = a2 ± 2ab + b2, a2 - b 2 = (a - b) (a + b)
• Properties of inequalities
• Factorisation (simple cases only) as examples the fo llowing types a(x + y),
(x ± y)2 , a2 - b2 , (x + a)(x + b)
