The Calculator
Unit 1.1
Get to know how your calculator works.
Identify and find:
• the numbers (usually in the middle, with zero at the bottom).
• basic maths symbols (usually on the right).
• the percentage key, the square root key, the equals key.
• The key clears everything on the display. It is sometimes
labelled .
• The key stands for ‘clear entry’ and it clears the last thing
that was entered.

The Calculator
Unit 1.1
For adding, subtracting, multiplying and division:
• Press number key, operation key, number key.
• Press the equals sign = for the answer.
Important!
• Notice that the calculator always uses a decimal point, not a
decimal comma.
• Markings (or separators) between groups of three digits make the
number on the display easier to read.

Mixed calculations: the correct
order of operations
Unit 1.1
A useful rule for the correct order of operations is BODMAS.
• Work from left to right in a calculation.
• Division and multiplication have the same priority. So when you have
division and multiplication in a calculation, work on them from left to
right.
• Addition and subtraction also have the same priority.

Mixed calculations: the correct
order of operations
Unit 1.1
Important!
• Basic or simple calculators do the operations in the order that
the keys are pressed. So you must do the operations in the
correct order, otherwise the calculator might add numbers
before dividing, and so on.
• Newer scientific calculators follow the mathematically correct
order of operations, so you input the calculation exactly as it is
written.

Addition and multiplication facts
Unit 1.1
Commutative Law
For adding or multiplying, we can swap
numbers around and get the same answer.
40 + 50 = 50 + 40
30 × 20 = 20 × 30
This does not work for division or subtraction:
12 ÷ 3 = 4, but 3 ÷ 12 = ¼
12 – 3 = 9, but 3 – 12 = –9

Addition and multiplication facts
Unit 1.1
Associative Law
For adding or multiplying, we can group
numbers in different ways without changing
the answer.
1. (200 + 41) + 52 = 241 + 52 = 293
and 200 + (41 + 52) = 200 + 93 = 293
2. (13 × 4) × 50 = 52 × 50 = 2 600
and 13 × (4 × 50) = 13 × 200 = 2 600
This does not work for subtraction:
(9 – 4) – 3 = 5 – 3 = 2, but 9 – (4 – 3) = 9 – 1 = 8

Addition and multiplication facts
Unit 1.1
Distributive Law
We get the same answer when we multiply a
number by a group of numbers added
together, or do each multiplication separately
and then add them.
33 × (20 + 40) = 33 × 60 = 1 980
and 33 × 20 + 33 × 40 = 660 + 1 320 = 1 980
This does not work for division:
24 ÷ (4 + 8) = 24 ÷ 12 = 2,
but 24 ÷ 4 + 24 ÷ 8 = 6 + 3 = 9

Addition and multiplication facts
Unit 1.1
Tip
We can use the associative law to make it easier to add or
multiply mentally. For example:
19 + 36 + 4 = 19 + (36 + 4) = 19 + 40 = 59
2 × 16 × 5 = (2 × 5) × 16 = 10 × 16 = 160
The distributive law gives us a useful trick for doing mental
multiplication quickly. For example:
4 × 57 = 4 × (50 + 7) Break up the number 57
= (4 × 50) + (4 × 7) Distribute 4 over the parts of 57.
= 200 + 28 = 228

• Negative numbers have a minus sign in front of them. They show
numbers smaller than zero.
• Examples: temperatures below 0°C, financial calculations, and to show
changes in position down.
• As the negative number appears to get 'bigger', its value gets smaller.
• So –5 is smaller than –1.

Fraction
• A fraction represents part of a whole that has been divided into
equal pieces.
• Example: One tenth of a group of people means that the group is

• If you use a calculator, the process is exactly the same as for whole
numbers.
• Estimate your answer quickly so that if you make an error, such as
putting the decimal point in incorrectly, you can see this immediately.
Without a calculator, follow these steps:
• Multiply as with whole numbers (ignoring the
decimal places for now).
• Count the total of all the decimal places to the right
of the decimal comma in the question.
• Put that number of decimal places in the answer.
Start at the right-hand side and count that number
of places to the left. Insert the decimal comma.

Rounding numbers
Unit 1.6
Definition
• Rounding is a way of simplifying numbers, by reducing the digits in
a number while trying to keep its value similar.
• We round numbers all the time, without realising it. Rounding
makes it easier to describe and understand numbers.
• Example: Sibu pays about R600 per month for electricity and water.
• Rounding off makes numbers easier to compare at a glance.
It is easier to compare 2 113 000 with 2 117 000, rather than
comparing 2 113 987 with 2 117 999.

Rounding numbers
Unit 1.6
• You can use rounding to check calculations without a calculator.
If you pay for groceries of R313,65 with two R200 notes, you can
estimate your change, by rounding up to R314.
R400 – R314 = R86. You should get just less than R90 change.
• Rounding helps identify mistakes in your calculations. If you make quick
estimates, you can see if you have a ‘sensible’ answer.
782 ÷ 4. You know that 800 ÷ 4 = 200, so you expect an answer just
under 200. If it is wrong, do the calculation again.

Rounding in everyday life
Unit 1.6
2. Etienne calculates that he needs 42,357 cubic metres of
concrete for the foundations of a house. The concrete is
made in batches of 10 cubic metres.
How many batches should he make?
• 42,357 m3 ÷ 10 = 4 and 0,357 m3 left over.
• He needs to make 5 batches to make sure that there is
enough concrete.
In general, the rule is:
• round down when we can get rid of the remainder (we
can’t sell a box with 3 eggs in it)
• round up when we must include the remainder (we
can’t leave some of the foundation without concrete).

1. Write 2,6470588 to 2 decimal places (dp).
1. 2,6470588
The second decimal digit is 4.
So the number lies between 2,64 and 2,65.
Look at the next digit.
The next digit is 7, so we have to round up.
So the answer is 2,65 (2 dp).

3. Round off the number 3,9762645 to 1 dp.
3. 3,9762645
The first decimal digit is 9.
The number lies between 3,9 and 4,0.
The 7 after the 9 means you have to round up.
So the answer is 4,0.
