Overview 2.1 Basic operations on a calculator 2.2 Calculations on fractions, decimals and percentages Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 2
Basic operations on a calculator Unit 2.1 Get to know how your own calculator works. Note: ON or C clears everything Basic calculators do the operations in the order that the keys are pressed. change a number to negative They don't use BODMAS find the Scientific calculators use percentage of a BODMAS. number find the square operation keys + - x ÷ = root of a number clears last entry enter a decimal number using the decimal point Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 2
More complex operations on whole Unit 2.1 numbers Squares and cubes: • 7 squared is written 72 and means 7 x 7. • On a basic calculator, press 7 x 7 =. • 7 cubed is written 73 and means 7 x 7 x 7. Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 2
More complex operations on whole Unit 2.1 numbers Square roots: • To find the square root of a number, we find a number multiplied by itself to get the original number. • The square root of 36 is 6, because 6 x 6 = 36. • On a calculator, enter the number and then Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 2
More complex operations on whole Unit 2.1 numbers Numbers that are not perfect squares > Example 2.4 page 29 Find the side of square with an area of 74 units. • Key sequence is 74 • Display shows 8,602325... • Answer 8,60 units rounded to 2 decimal places. Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 2
More complex operations on whole Unit 2.1 numbers The memory keys Use M+ to add a number to the memory Use M- to subtract a number from a number already in the memory. Press MRC once to show the number stored Press MRC twice to clear the number from the memory. Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 2
Using the memory keys Unit 2.1 Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 2

Getting to know your scientific calculator Unit 2.2 How to know that you are using a scientific calculator: • It looks a bit like this one here • The calculation still appears on the screen with the answer • You can use the arrow key to scroll back through the calculation. Note: Check all the details about scientific calculators on pages 31 and 32. Work out how to do all the things that are mentioned on these two pages. Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 2
Calculations on fractions, decimals and percentages Unit 2.2 Even with a calculator, you need to know how fractions work! Adding and subtracting fractions Method 1 To add and subtract fractions, you must find a common denominator first 1 2 1 + + LCD is 6 2 3 6 3 4 1 = + + 6 6 6 8 4 1 = = =1 6 3 3 Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 2
Calculations on fractions, decimals and percentages Unit 2.2 Even with a calculator, you need to know how fractions work! Adding and subtracting fractions Method 2 • Treat each fraction as a separate division calculation 4 e.g. 5 = 4 ÷ 5 • Put the answers in the memory • Add or subtract from the memory and press Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 2
Multiplying Unit 2.2 fractions > Example 2.7 page 34 2 1. Find of R65 5 Without a calculator: With a calculator: 2 2 13 5 x R65 = 5 x 65 2 5 65 Cancel common factors in numerator and denominator = R26 = R26 Downloaded from hlayiso.com Maths Lit NQF Level 2
