SUB TOPIC: DISTANCE, SPEED AND TIME

CONTENT: Finding Time Taken

Activity: Consider the following


A distance from town A to town B is 30km. A boy who travelled from town B to town A using
different means as shown in the table;

Means Distance Speed Time


Foot 30km 3km/hr 10 hours
Bicycle 30km 6km/hr 5 hours
Car 30km 30km/hr 1 hour
From the table;
By Foot
(a) 3km is covered in 1 hour
30km is covered in ( 30 ÷ 3) = 10 hours

By Bicycle
(b) 6km is covered in 1 hour
30km is covered in (30 ÷ 6) = 5 hours
By car

TOPIC 3 : INTEGERS
LESSON 1:
SUB TOPIC: Positive and Negative Integers
CONTENT: Identifying positive and negative Integers on a Number line
An integer is a whole number which is either negative or positive.
Note: 1. All negative integers are less than zero and all positive integers are greater than zero.
2. Zero is the starting point and it is neither negative nor positive.
Draw a number line like the one below;

Left (backward) Right (forward)


This is a number line. It is a line with numbers.
• The right has positive integers.
• The left has negative integers.
 0 is neither positive nor negative. It is the starting point.
• Using the number line that you have drawn, move 5 steps to the right of 0. Name the integer
where you have stopped.
Then now stand at 0 and move 5 to the left. Name the integer where you have stopped.

Study these examples:


1. Which integer is 3 steps to the left of zero?
You will start at zero and then count 3 backwards. You will now be at -3.

So the integer is – 3

2. On the number line below, which integer is 3 steps to the right of – 2?


You will start at – 2 and then count 3 forwards. You will now be at +1.

+
So the integer is 1

EVALUATION ACTIVITY:
Use a number line to answer the questions below.

LESSON 2:
SUB TOPIC: Positive and Negative Integers
CONTENT: Ordering and comparing negative and positive integers on a number line
Remember:
1. All negative integers are less than zero and all positive integers are greater than zero. In
order to compare integers, you will use a number line.
2. Integers to the left are always less than integers to their right. In this lesson, you are going
to compare integers in order of size.
3. You are going to use the word descending order to mean from greatest to the lowest and
ascending order to mean from lowest to greatest.
4. Remember the symbols:
< is less than
> is greater than
= is equal to.

LESSON 4:
SUB TOPIC: Operations on Integers
CONTENT: Addition of integers without using a number line
In this lesson, you will add integers without a number line. Words like debt and borrow can
represent a negative idea. Words like profit, gain, more can represent a positive idea.

Example 1:
Work out: –7 + +4
Solution:
(a) Draw the negatives and positives as shown.
– – – – – – – + + + +
(b) Pair off each negative with one positive.
– – – – – – – + + + +

Three negatives remained. All positives are paired.

You will notice that after pairing, three negatives remained (– 3),
Therefore -7 + +4 = –3

Example 2:
Work out: +6 + +5
Solution:
(a) Draw the positives as shown.
+ + + + + + + + + + +

(b) Since we have only positives, no need to pair.


We instead just count all the positives which gives us ( +11)
Therefore, +6 + +5 = +11

Example 3:
Work out:: -4 + -3
Solution:
(a) Draw the negatives as shown.
– – – – – – –

(b) Since we have only negatives, no need to pair.


We instead just count all the negatives which gives us (– 7)
So, -4 + -3 = – 7

NB: When adding integers with the same sign, we add the digits normally and maintain the
sign.

SUB TOPIC: SOLVING SIMPLE EQUATIONS
CONTENT: Solving equations by subtraction
 An equation is an algebraic expression with an equal sign in between.
 An equation has got two sides; The left hand side (L.H.S) and the right hand side
(R.H.S)
 Any operation carried out on one side of the equation should also be carried out on the
other side so as to balance the equation.
 In an equation like x + 3 = 5 the letter x is called the unknown value.
Example 1:
In the diagram below, the block on the left balances with that on the right. This means that
the weights is equal.

a+6 11

If the weight of 6 is removed from each side, we shall still have the blocks balancing. The
balance is not upset by removing the same weight from both sides.
From the diagram above, the equation is:- a + 6 = 11
a + 6 - 6 = 11 - 6 subtract 7 from both sides
a=5
Example 2:
Solve the following equations:
(a) 4 + p = 12 (b) n + 7 = 13 (c) 21 = 16 + h
4 – 4 + p = 12 – 4 n + 7 – 7 = 13 – 7 21 – 16 = 16 – 16 + h
