Ordering of numbers4:24
Ordinary numbers1:55
The numbers 1st(First), 2nd(Second), 3rd(Third), 4th(Fourth), 5th(Fifth), 6th(Sixth), 7th(Seventh), 8th(Eighth), 9th(Ninth) and 10th(Tenth) tell the position of different athletes in the race. Hence, all of them are ordinal numbers.

Counting of numbers
Place value of whole numbers
Counting in groups

Grouping of quantities into 2 equal parts
The basic ideas are that objects can be grouped into groups or multiple groups and that the rearrangement of the groups or the number of objects within a group does not alter the total number of objects.

The importance of dots is that every quantity can be represented by dots, a group of dots or as multiple groups of dots. The students, by rearranging the same quantity of dots in multiple ways, will become aware that the group structure does not influence the total quantity of dots.

A description of the dots requires the student to pay attention to both dots and groups of dots. There are three things that the student must be aware of when examining different groups of dots:
1/ When are things “the same”? Things are the same when they have the same number of groups and each group contains the same number of dots.
2/ When are things “not the same”? Things are not the same when the total number of dots is not the same.
3/ When are things “the same but not the same”? Things are the same but not the same when the quantity of dots is the same but the number of groups is different.
Quarter 1/4
In Mathematics, fractions are represented as a numerical value, can be defined as the parts of a whole. A fraction can be a portion or section of any quantity out of a whole, where, the whole can be any number, a specific value, or a thing.

Description

Welcome to the Basic Mathematics Course! This course is designed to help learners enhance their understanding of mathematics, which is the foundation of so many academic subjects and everyday life.

Welcome to the Basic Mathematics Course! This course is designed to help learners improve their understanding of mathematics, which serves as the foundation for many academic subjects and everyday life.

Why should we focus on basic mathematics? Simply put, you encounter basic math daily—whether at home, work, or school.

Think of mathematics as a pyramid. Each new skill builds upon the previous ones. For example, before you can add three-digit numbers like 236 + 145, you need to be comfortable with adding one- and two-digit numbers, such as 2 + 5 or 24 + 30. The same principle applies when progressing to pre-algebra and algebra; a solid grasp of basic math is essential.

My goal is to help you not only understand basic math but also to overcome any fear associated with the subject. I strive to be your best teacher, providing thorough explanations to ensure you grasp each topic deeply. If you're looking for quick shortcuts, this course may not be for you—it's designed to challenge you and empower you to help others as well.

By the end of this course, you will have a strong foundation in basic math, preparing you for algebra and higher-level math courses in the future.

Basic mathematics encompasses fundamental concepts such as counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These operations are the building blocks of all other mathematical concepts. Understanding these, along with factors, least common multiples (LCM), and highest common factors (HCF), will set you up for success in learning about fractions and beyond.
