Antarctica is the coldest continent on Earth, where the daily temperature
over the year ranges from 70C to 15C. It also stays dark for six
months of the year when the Sun does not rise between March and
September. Because Antarctica is permanently covered with snow and
ice, it reflects the Suns rays rather than absorbs them, and its dry air
and high altitudes contribute to its sub-zero temperatures.

As we move further to the left on the number line, the numbers become smaller. The arrow on the
left end of the number line shows that numbers can decrease infinitely.
Positive and negative numbers have size and direction. For example, 5 (or 5) means 5 units in
the positive direction, while 2 means 2 units in the negative direction.
Positive and negative whole numbers are called integers, for example, 3, 4 and 20. Zero is also
an integer.

To make a calculation, we need to write a formula (rule) in a cell. A spreadsheet formula uses
special symbols and always starts with an equals sign . Here are some examples of formulas:
Formula Meaning
A1A2A3 or sum(A1:A3) add the values in cells A1, A2 and A3
A5A4 subtract the value in cell A4 from the value in
cell A5
A1*10 multiply the value in cell A1 by 10 (* is used
instead of 3)
A1/A2 divide the value in cell A1 by the value in cell A2
(/ is used instead of 4)
average(A1:A5) find the average of all values from cells A1 to A5
1 Open a new spreadsheet and enter the 5 numbers shown in column A at cells A1, A2, A3,
A4 and A5.
2 In cell B1, enter the formula A4-7 to calculate the value in A4, minus 7. You should get
the answer 37, because 44 7 37.
3 For the rest of the cells in column B, enter the appropriate formula for each expression
shown below and check that the spreadsheet calculates the correct answer. Remember to
start each formula with an sign.
a at B2, A2 A1 b at B3, 10 3 A5 6
c at B4, A4 A1 3 2 d at B5, A1 3 A2 A3
e at B6, A1 3 (A2 A3) f at B7, 3 3 A2 4 2
A5 A2 h at B9, sum of A1, A2, A3, A4, A5
g at B8,
3
j at B11, A4 A5
i at B10, average of A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 A1 A2
4 Now enter new values in cells A1 to A5. Using the formulas entered from question 3,
check the new answers calculated in column B.

3 is greater than 1 is written as 3 > 1. 2 is less than 3 is written as 2 < 3.

Some more examples are shown in the table below. Remember that on a number line, the
numbers on the right are larger than the numbers on the left.

Write these integers in ascending order: 5, 7, 0, 6, 3, 2, 4, 1.
Solution
Ascending order means from smallest to largest.
5, 2, 1, 0, 3, 4, 6, 7.
Summary
Ascending means moving UP, from smallest to largest: think of A as a ladder and going
up a ladder
Descending means moving DOWN, from largest to smallest: think of D for down
