Understanding Intermediate Mathematics 2: For High Schools

DESCRIPTION IN SUMMARYThis book emphasizes the importance of understanding basic concepts involving numbers and shapes. The extent of coverage is given below.1) The IntegersOrdering and counting the IntegersThe processes involved in the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of IntegersNumerals in base 2 to base 10 and conversion from one base to anotherWrite Whole Numbers with index 1, 2, or 3 and find the respective square root or cube root2) Algebraic expressionsThe importance of recognizing coefficientsThe use of coefficients in adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing monomial expressionsHCF and LCM of simple monomial expressionsThe "balancing method" used to solve basic simple equationsFind possible values of variables in simple inequalities3) Common fractions and decimalsAdd, subtract, multiply, and divide common fractions and decimalsThe use of these numbers in activities involving money, mass, and time, etc.4) MeasurementsThe perimeter and area of triangles and rectangles and the circumference of a circleThe volume of rectangular and triangular prisms5) Sets, relations and graphsUniversal sets, empty sets, equal and equivalent sets, and the intersection and union of two setsRelations in the form of tables and diagramsCoordinates, and how to draw and interpret straight-line graphs from table valuesTranslation and enlargement6) Geometric shapesPoints, lines (including parallel lines) and anglesPolygons with emphasis on properties of triangles and quadrilateralsReflective and rotational symmetriesScale drawing and the bearing of a point7) Statistical diagrams and probabilityDraw bar graphs from table valuesFind arithmetic mean, median, and mode from a list of data valuesFind probabilities from frequency tables Read more
