Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
The list below provides an indicative list of topics which may be covered in this module:
Arithmetic:
• Factors, multiples. Concepts of highest common factor and lowest common multiple.
• Fractions, addition, multiplication, division, simplification.
• Decimal fractions, decimal places, significant figures, scientific notation, rounding off.
• Error, percentage, modulus, sigma notation.
Algebra:
• Fractions; addition, multiplications, division, simplification.
• Algebraic formulae, equations, transposition, simplification, factorization.
• Powers, product, quotient, power of a power, roots, negative indices.
• Proportionality, direct proportionality, inverse proportionality.
• Linear equations, solution, graphs.
Statistics:
• Averages (mean, mode median)
• Interpretation of statistics * presentation of statistics
Notes should read: This module covers the fundamental mathematical skills needed for further study in business subjects, and will include extensive practice problem solving, assessed regularly to support a structured approach to learning.
