The subject includes a study of the sequential development of rational and decimal fractions. Competence in the four processes with fractions is developed before teaching techniques for these are explored. Percentages and ratio are examined together with the application of the calculator. Teaching techniques and methods aimed at making mathematics more realistic and applicable to everyday use are given special emphasis with the introduction of problem solving techniques and cooperational group learning. Measurement topics include those related to the metric number system.
