TOPIC 1: WHOLE NUMBERS
INTRODUCTION
• This unit runs for 9 hours.
• It falls under the outcome, Numbers, Operations and Relationships
and this outcome counts for 30% of the final exam.
• This unit covers concepts and skills for Whole Numbers and is the
basis for high school mathematics. The complexity of concepts
increases and teachers must make sure that rules and the
groundwork is clearly understood.
• It is important for the learners to be able to understand and apply
the concepts dealt with in this unit. A number of concepts are
applied, such as, prime factors, LCM and HCF.
• Learners are introduced to new concepts such as profit, loss and
discount, budgeting, interest and loans.
