materials covered in each of the seven units of Basic Mathematics are as follows:
WHOLE NUMBERS - representation, rounding, addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, primes, powers and roots.
FRACTIONS - definitions, equivalents, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
DECIMALS - representation, rounding, binary operations and applications.
RATIO AND PROPORTION - definitions and applications.
PERCENT - percents as fractions, finding a percent of a number, fractions as
percents and applications of percents.
