�To the Learner:
Welcome to Fundamental Mathematics Book One.
Adult Math Learners
You have the skills you need to be a strong student in this class.
Adult math learners have many skills. They have a lot of life experience. They also use math
in their everyday lives. This means that adult math learners may already know some of what is
being taught in this book. Use what you already know with confidence!

Grades Record
You have also been given a sheet to write down your grades. After each test, you can write in
the mark. This way you can keep track of your grades as you go through the course. This is a
good idea to use in all your courses. You can find this grade sheet at the end of the book.

How to Use this Book
This textbook has:
 A Table of Contents listing the units, the major topics and subtopics.
 A Glossary giving definitions for mathematical vocabulary used in the
course.
 A grades record to keep track of your marks.
The textbook has many exercises; some are quite short, but others have a great number of
questions. You do not have to do every single question!
Do as many questions as you feel are necessary for you to be confident in your skill.
It is best to do all the word problems.
If you leave out some questions, try doing every second or every third question. Always
do some questions from the end of each exercise because the questions usually get
harder at the end. You might use the skipped questions for review before a test.
If you are working on a difficult skill or concept, do half the exercise one
day and finish the exercise the next day. That is a much better way to
learn.

5

�Self-tests at the end of most topics have an Aim at the top. If you do not meet
the aim, talk to your instructor, find what is causing the trouble, and do some
more review before you go on.

A Review and Extra Practice section is at the end of each unit. If there is
an area of the unit that you need extra practice in, you can use this. Or, if you
want, you can use the section for more review.
A Practice Test is available for each unit. You may:
Write the practice test after you have studied the unit as a practice for the
end-of-chapter test, OR
You might want to write it before you start the unit to find what you
already know and which areas you need to work on.

Unit tests are written after each unit. Again, you must reach the Aim before
you begin the next unit. If you do not reach the aim, the instructor will assist
you in finding and practising the difficult areas. When you are ready, you can
write a B test to show that you have mastered the skills.

A Final Test is to be written when you have finished the book. This final
test will assess your skills from the whole book. You have mastered the skills
in each unit and then kept using many of them throughout the course. The test
reviews all those skills.

�Topic A: Emotions and Learning
Emotions, or what we feel about something, play a big part in how we learn. If we are calm, we
learn well. If we are afraid or stressed, we do not learn as well. Many people are afraid of
math. They fear making a mistake. “Math anxiety” is the fear of math.
People who suffer from math anxiety may get headaches, sick stomachs, cold hands or they may
just sweat a lot or just feel scared.

Do you suffer from math anxiety?
Read the list below and put a check mark (√) beside the ones you feel.

Are your palms moist?
Is your stomach fluttering?
Do you feel like you can’t think clearly?
Do you feel like you would rather do anything
else than learning math?
Are you breathing faster than normal?
Is your heart pounding?
Do you feel cold?

Add any other things you are feeling.

Book 1

�Math Anxiety
“Math anxiety” or the fear of math is a learned habit. If it is learned, it can be unlearned. Most
math anxiety comes from bad memories while learning math. It may be from doing badly on a
test or asking a question then being made fun of. These bad memories can make learning math
hard.
Everyone can learn math. There is no special talent for math. There are some people who are
better at math than others, but even these people had to learn to be good at math.

Fundamental Mathematics

�How to Deal with Math Anxiety
Anyone can feel anxiety that will slow down learning. The key to learning is to be the “boss”
of your anxiety.
One way to be the “boss” is to relax. Try this breathing exercise.
Start by breathing in slowly to the count of four. It may help to close your eyes and
count. Now hold your breath for four counts and then let your breath out slowly to
the count of four. The counting is silent and should follow this pattern: “breathe in,
two, three four; hold, two, three, four; breathe out, two, three, four; wait, two, three
four.” With practice, the number of counts can be increased. This is an easy and
good way to relax.
Now try this exercise quietly and repeat it five times slowly.
Each time you feel anxious about learning, use the breathing exercise to help calm yourself.
Ask yourself if what you tried worked. Do you feel calmer?
Remember learning to deal with your math anxiety may take some time. It took you
a long time to learn “math anxiety”, so it will take some time to overcome it.

Book 1

�Topic B: Counting
To learn to read, you first need to learn the letters of the alphabet. Once you know the alphabet,
you put the letters together to make words, then sentences, then paragraphs and then stories.
Those letters become the “tools” used to write everything.
The same is true for math. In math we use digits. The digits are:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Digits are named after our fingers. Our fingers are also called digits. The mathematics term
comes from the days of counting on our fingers. We have ten fingers and there are ten digits.
We use the letters of the alphabet to make up words, and we use digits to make up numbers.
There are two ways to write numbers. You can write them as numerals. You can write them
using word names.

Numeral
0

3
4
5
6
7
8
9

Word Name
zero
one
two
three
four
five
six
seven
eight
nine

Counting is matching the number name to the things being counted. You see a bowl
of apples on the table. You want to know how many apples are in the bowl. You
answer that question by saying “There are one, two, three, four apples.” You are giving
the number names “one”, “two”, “three,” and “four” to the apples. The last number you
say is the total number of apples.

�Topic C: Place Value
As you know, we count much higher than ten in our world.
Each place in a number has a value.
The ones place tells how many ones there are.
3 means 3 ones

0 means 0 ones

9 means 9 ones

9 is the largest amount that we can express (write or say) with one digit.
The tens place shows how many tens there are. The ones place must have a digit
in it before there can be a digit in the tens place.
Every ten is ten ones.

=

43 means 4 tens and 3 ones

20 means 2 tens and 0 ones. The zero holds the ones place.

Book 1

�Reading and Writing Numerals
You know that the digits are 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and that digits are arranged in
different places so we can count larger amounts than our ten fingers!

When we use digits we call what we write the numeral.
328 is a numeral
46 is a numeral
3 is a numeral
We use numerals to represent numbers.
If we think about language instead of mathematics it will be clearer.
Letters are used to make words. We respond to the meaning of words.
Digits are the “letters” of math.
Numerals are the “words” of math.
Numbers are the “meaning” of math.

Now you know the place value of digits up to three places. Next you will learn to read and
write numerals and number words. Some of the words to read and spell may be new to you.

The numerals from 1 to 12 have special words. These are

Look at the tens place.
63 has a 6 in the tens place.
59 has a 5 in the tens place.
63 is larger than 59.

Example B:

Compare 496 and 476.
Look at the hundreds – both have 4’s.
Look at the tens place.
496 has a 9 in the tens place.
476 has a 7 in the tens place.
496 is larger than 476.

Now use the same ideas to arrange more than two numerals in order.
For example, to arrange 6, 616, 1, 66, 666, 61, and 16 in order from smallest to
largest, use the following method:
First, sort the numerals with the same number of digits into groups.
6, 1

66, 16, 61

and

616, 666

The group of one digit numerals contains 6 and 1. As 1 is smaller than 6, the
list starts with 1, then 6.
The group of two-digit numerals contains 66, 61, and 16. Use your skills in
ordering numerals to see that 16 is smallest, then 61, and 66 is the largest of
this group. The list now reads, 1, 6, 16, 61, 66.
Finally, look at the three-digit numerals, 616 and 666. As 616 is smaller than
666, it will come first. The list now reads: 1, 6, 16, 61, 66, 616, 666.

�Greater Than, Less Than, Equals
The sign &lt; means “is less than” (smaller than).
The sign &gt; means “is greater than” (bigger than).
The greater than and less than signs always point to the smaller number. That is, the point
or the tip of the sign is close to the small number.
5 &lt; 12
6&gt;3

means 5 is less than 12
means 6 is greater than 3

The sign = means “equals” and is used when two amounts are the same.

�Topic E: Rounding Numbers
We use numbers a lot in our everyday lives. List some of the ways you use numbers.

You may have written money, shopping, time, and counting as part of your answer.
Think about time. Let’s say it takes eight minutes to walk to the bus. If someone asks you
how long it takes, you will probably say, “About ten minutes.”
If you buy a sweater that cost $29, you may say, “Oh, it was around thirty dollars.”
How far is it from Vancouver to Prince George? The map says 796 km, but we would
probably say, “About 800 kilometres.”
You have just read examples of rounding numbers.
We round numbers for many reasons:
We may not know the exact number.
The exact number may not be important for what we are doing.
We may need a quick way to figure something out.
When you are rounding numbers, use zeros to hold the places at the end of the number.
Work through the following examples and exercises carefully. Rounding is an important
skill.

44

Book 1

�Rounding to the Nearest Ten
A number rounded to the nearest ten will have a zero in the ones place. The number will end
with 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90.
When rounding to the nearest 10, we are looking for the closest group of 10.
Example:
20

20, 23 and 30.
23

30

Is 23 closer to 20 or 30? It is closest to 20.
Which gives a better estimate of 23…..2 tens or 3 tens. 2 tens
If we round 23 to the nearest ten, the result would be 20.

Remember: The rounded number has a zero in the ones place.

Example:
40

40, 46 and 50
46

50

Is 46 closer to 40 or 50? it is closest to 50.
Which gives a better estimate of 46……4 tens or 5 tens? 5 tens
If we round 46 to the nearest ten, the result would be 50.

Fundamental Mathematics

45

�Example:

60, 65 and 70

60

65

70

Is 65 closer to 60 or 70? It is closer to 70.
Which gives a better estimate of 65…… 6 tens or 7 tens? 7 tens
When we have a number which ends in 5, we always round up to the next ten. If
we round 65 to the nearest 10, the result would be 70.
Example: Round 32 to the nearest 10.
32 is between 3 tens and 4 tens.
32 is closest to 3 tens.
Rounded number is 30 .

�Now look at a shorter method to round to the nearest ten.
When rounding to the nearest ten, do this:
Step 1: Underline the tens digit.
83

Step 2: Look at the digit following in the ones place.
83

Step 3: If the digit in the ones place is less than 5,
write a 0 in the ones place.
leave the tens digit as it is.
42

rounds to 40 (42 is nearer to 40 than to 50)

14

rounds to 10

83

rounds to 80

Step 4: If the digit in the ones place is 5 or more,
write a 0 in the ones place.
add one more ten to the tens place.
36

rounds to 40 (36 is nearer to 40 than to 30)

25

rounds to 30

98

rounds to 100 (one more ten than nine tens is ten tens)

Note: If you are rounding to the nearest ten, single digits are rounded like this:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4 all round to 0.
5, 6, 7, 8, 9 all round to 10.

When you round a number, use the sign that means “approximately equal”

Need some extra practice?
Find a partner and play the following card game. You will use a regular deck of cards
Take out the jacks, queens and kings.
Shuffle the cards and deal them out.
Do not look at your cards. Leave them in a pile in from of you.
Each player flips over a card.
Take turns adding the numbers on the cards.
If the person whose turn it is gets the right answer that person gets to keep the cards.
If the person whose turn it is gets the wrong answer the other player gets the cards.
The person who collects all the cards is the winner.
You could also set a time limit and the person with the most cards when time is up is
the winner.

�Word Problems
Learning addition facts is very important. Once you know them all, you can use them to
solve word problems.
Words such as more than, plus, added to, sum, total, have altogether and in all tell you to
add the numbers together. Look for these words when reading word problems and underline
them before trying to solve a problem. Circle the information that is given.

Example: Before lunch Jane read 2 pages. After lunch she read 9 pages. How many pages
did she read in all?
Before lunch Jane read

�Perimeter
Did you spot the fact that each answer in the word problems before had a unit of measure?
A unit of measure just tells you what you measured. Units of measure can be pages, fish,
cans, kilometres, meters, centimetres, litres, millilitres, grams or kilograms. When you
answer a word problem, you must include the unit of measure in your answer.
Try the following questions. Be sure to include the unit of measure in your answer.
Perimeter means distance around. To find the perimeter of a shape, find the lengths of the
sides and add them together.
Example:
3 metres

2 metres

Vegetable Garden

2 metres

3 metres
Rectangle

To find the perimeter, add the lengths of the sides of the rectangle.
Perimeter = 3 + 2 + 3 + 2
Perimeter = 10 meters

Example:
4 centimetres
3 centimetres
5 centimetres

Triangle
To find the perimeter, add the lengths of the sides of the triangle. Perimeter = 4 + 3 + 5

Need some extra practice?
Find a partner and play this card game.
Using a regular deck of cards, a jack will be eleven, a queen will be twelve and a
king will be thirteen.
Shuffle the cards and deal them out. Keep your cards in a pile in front of you.
Each player flips over a card.
Take turns subtracting the numbers on the cards. If the person gets the right answer that
person gets to keep the cards. If the person gets the wrong answer the other player gets
the cards.
The person who collects all the cards is the winner.
You could also set a time limit and the person with the most cards when time is up is
the winner.

�Word Problems
Learning subtraction facts is very important because once you know them all they become
a tool to use when solving problems.
Words such as less than, minus, subtracted from, how many more, how much more,
and difference tell you to subtract the numbers. Look for these words when reading word
problems and underline them before trying to solve a problem. Circle the information
that is given.

Example:There were 14 nails in a box. Lu used 7 of them. How many nails were still in the
box?
There were

�Topic B: Subtraction of Larger Numbers
You can find the difference between two large numbers using the basic subtraction facts you
have been practicing. Always take away or subtract the number after the minus sign.
Use these steps to complete each subtraction question.
Step 1: Subtract the ones from the ones.
Step 2: Subtract the tens from the tens.
Step 3: Subtract the hundreds from the hundreds.

Example A:

57
- 26

Step 1: Subtract the ones from the ones. 7 ones – 6 ones = 1 one
57
- 26
1
Write the answer in line with the ones in the question.
Step 2:

Subtract the tens from the tens. 5 tens – 2 tens = 3 tens
57
- 26

�Topic A: Estimating
You use numbers in your everyday life. You often use estimating in your everyday life.
You go shopping and you only have twenty dollars, you may need to estimate how much
your groceries are going to cost before you go to pay for them.
You commute by bus each day to work and it takes thirty-three minutes going to work and
thirty-three minutes coming home at the end of the day. You would say that it takes you
about one hour on the bus.
These are examples of estimating.
You have already learned about rounding numbers. You need to be able to round numbers
in order to be able to estimate.
When you solve math problems, it is a good idea to estimate what the answer may be.
Estimating the answer means finding an answer that is close to the real answer. Estimating
helps you to see if the real answer is sensible. To estimate an answer, you need to round the
numbers then add or subtract the rounded numbers. Remember to round to the nearest ten.

�Topic B: Time
The ancient Babylonians used a number system based on 60. We still use their number
system when we talk about time.
There are 60 minutes in an hour, and there are 60 seconds in a minute.
60 minutes = 1 hour
60 seconds = 1 minute

Writing Time in Standard Format
Time is written in a standard format.
Hours: Minutes: Seconds
Example:

12 noon
would be written as 12:00:00
or 12:00 (without the seconds)

Example:

4 o’clock
would be written as 4:00:00
or 4:00 (without the seconds)

Example:

8 hours, 47 minutes, 3 seconds
would be written as 8:47:03

Note:

When there is only one number, put in a zero to hold the tens place.

Example:

3 hours, 9 minutes, 3 seconds
would be written as 3:09:03

�A.M. and P.M.
You need to go to the dentist at 9:00 a.m. This is in the morning because of the a.m. The
abbreviation a.m. means ante meridiem or before noon. We use a.m. for any times
between 12 midnight and 12 noon.
You are meeting friends for dinner at 6:00 p.m. This is at night because of the p.m. The
abbreviation p.m. means post meridiem or after noon. We use p.m. for any times between
12 noon and 12 midnight.

Example:

You catch the bus at 7 o’clock in the morning.
The time would be written as 7:00 a.m.

Example:

You are meeting friends to go fishing at 6:30 at night.
The time would be written as 6:30 p.m.

�Rounding Time
When you round time, if the minutes are more than thirty, you round up to the next number
of hours. If the minutes are less than thirty, you remain at the same number of hours.
Example:

If it took 45 minutes to drive to school, you would round that to
one hour because 45 minutes is greater than 30 minutes.

Example:

If it took one hour and 15 minutes to get to school by bus, you
would round that to one hour because 15 minutes is less than 30
minutes.

Example:

If it took 8 hours and 37 minutes to complete the painting job,
you would round that to 9 hours because 37 minutes is greater
than 30 minutes.

�Glossary
addends The numbers to be added together in an addition question. In 3 + 5 = 8, the addends
are 3 and 5.
axis Any straight line used for measuring or as a reference.
balance Balance has many meanings. In money matters, the balance is the amount left. It might
be the amount left in a bank account (bank balance) or it might be the amount you still must pay
on a bill (balance owing).
cancelled cheque A cheque that has been cashed. The cheque is stamped, or cancelled, so it is
no longer negotiable.
circumference The distance around a circle; the perimeter of a circle.
commission Salespeople may be paid a percentage of the money made in sales. The
commission is part or all their earnings.
common fractions eg, , ,
cross multiply In a proportion, multiply the numerator of the first fraction times the
denominator of the second fraction. Then multiply the denominator of the first fraction times the
numerator of the second fraction. In a true proportion, the products of the cross multiplication
are equal.
denominator The bottom number in a common fraction; tells into how many equal parts the
whole thing has been divided.
diameter The distance across a circle through its centre.
difference The result of a subtraction question, the answer. Subtraction gives the difference
between two numbers.
digit Any of the ten numerals (0 to 9) are digits. This term comes from our ten fingers which
are called digits. The numerals came to be called "digits" from the practice of counting on the
fingers!
discount An amount taken off the regular cost. If something is bought "at a discount" it is
bought at less than the regular price.
divide To separate into equal parts.
dividend The number or quantity to be divided; what you start with before you divide.

Book 1

�divisor The number of groups or the quantity into which a number (the dividend) is to be
separated.
equal = The same as
equation A mathematical statement that two quantities are equal. An equation may use
numerals with a letter to stand for an unknown quantity. 6 + Y = 9
equivalent Equal in value; equivalent numbers (whole or fractions) can be used
interchangeably; that is, they can be used instead of each other.
estimate Make an approximate answer. Use the sign

to mean approximately equal.

factors The numbers or quantities that are multiplied together to form a given product.
5 2 = 10, so 5 and 2 are factors of 10.
fraction Part of the whole; a quantity less than one unit.
horizontal in a flat position; we are horizontal when we lie in a bed. A horizontal line goes
across the page.
improper fraction A common fraction with a value equal to or more than one.
infinite Without end, without limit.
invert To turn upside down.
like fractions With the same denominators.
lowest terms When the terms of a common fraction or ratio do not have a common factor
(except 1), the fraction or ratio are in lowest terms (also called simplest form).
minuend The first number in a subtraction question.
mixed number A whole number and a common fraction. 1
mixed decimal A whole number and a decimal fraction. 1.75
multiple If a certain number is multiplied by another number, the product is a multiple of the
numbers. Think of the multiplication tables. For example, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14. . . are multiples
of 2.
multiplicand The number to be multiplied.
multiplier The number you multiply by.
Fundamental Mathematics

�negotiable Something which can be cashed, that is, exchanged or traded as money.
numbers Numbers represent the amount, the place in a sequence; number is the idea of
quantity or order.
numerals The digits 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 are also called numerals. These ten digits are combined
to make infinite numerals. Digits are like the letters, numerals are like the words and numbers
are the meaning.
numerator The top number in a common fraction; the numerator tells how many parts of the
whole thing are being considered.
overdrawn If the value of the cheques or money taken from a bank account is higher than the
amount of money in the account, then the account is overdrawn. The account is "in the hole" or
"in the red" are expressions sometimes used.
parallel Two objects or lines side by side, never crossing and always the same distance from
each other. Railway tracks are parallel, the lines on writing paper are parallel.
percent % For every one hundred.
perimeter The distance around the outside of a shape.
place value We understand numbers by the way the digits (numerals) are arranged in
relationship to each other and to the decimal point. Each position has a certain value. Our
number system is a decimal system. The place value is based on ten.
prime number A number that can only be divided evenly by itself and 1.
product The result of a multiplying question, the answer.
proper fraction A common fraction with a value less than one.
proportion Generally, proportion is a way of comparing a part of something to the whole
thing. Eg. his feet are small in proportion to his height. In mathematics, proportion is used to
describe two or more ratios that are equivalent to each other.
quotient The result of a division question; the quotient tells how many times one number is
contained in the other.
radius The distance from the centre of a circle to the outside of the circle.
ratio The relationship between two or more quantities. Eg. the ratio of men to women in the
armed forces is 10 to 3 (10:3)

The remainder must be less than the divisor.
sign In mathematics, a symbol that tells what operation is to be performed or what the
relationship is between the numbers.
+ plus, means to add
- minus, means to subtract

APPLICATION PROCEDURES FOR THE COMMONWEALTH
SECONDARY $CHOOL DIPLOMA OR GRADE EQUIVALENT
CERTIFICATE
The General Educational Development Testing Program (G.E.D.) was
adopted by the State Council of Education in August, 1963, to enable Pennsylvania residents, who are not High School graduates, to earn a Commonwealth Secondary School Diploma.
The G.E.D. Program was initiated by the Department of Public
Education and implimented by the Division of Testing to replace the procedure of accumulating sufficient subject credits in order to qualify for
the Secondary School Diploma.
Since its inception in 1963, over 20,000 Pennsylvania residents
have successfully completed the G.E.D. Test and have been awarded a
Secondary School Diploma. More than 9,500,.:applicants were tested during
1967. At the present time, the Bureau of Guidance receives more than
1,000 applications per month.
The G.E.D. Test has been constructed somewhat differently from the
usual school achievement tests. In a formal secondary setting, there is
likely to be a more complete and detailed coverage of specific facts learned
through the use of reference books, textbooks, and planned lesson presentations.
The G.E.D, Test is designed to permit the individual to take advantage of
knowledge acquired as a result of first-hand observation, direct experience,
self-directed reading and study, conversations and informal group discussions ,
and other experiences with problems, ideas, and people.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Any resident (living in Pennsylvania at least three months prior to
making application to the test), not currently enrolled in an approved
secondary school program. eighteen years of age or older, or whose original
class has graduated, is eligible to take the G.E.D. Test. No previous
school attendance is required if the applicant meets these requirements . A
transcript of grades previously earned is not required. Non-residents may
take the G.E.D. Test but they will be issued a Certificate of Completion
and not a Commonwealth Diploma.
HeM TO APPLY
Applicants should secure a G.E.D. application from the local high
school principal Test Center Director or write to Division of Testing,
Box 911. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
