Résumé :
The Bahamas' Ministry of Education describes mathematics as a formal discipline that exposes hidden patterns that help us understand our world. Now much more than arithmetic and geometry, mathematics is a diverse discipline that deals with technology, data, industry, measurements, and observations from science. There are mathematical models of natural phenomena, human behavior, and social systems. This booklet is designed specifically for students under the primary school system, both public and private. It's a study handbook that makes memorizing mathematics fun and easy-and covers basic skills in the primary school mathematics curriculum. Topics covered include exponents; converting fractions, decimals, and percentages; geometrical and numerical patterns; multiplying mixed numbers; problem solving techniques; and much more. Filled with charts, tables, definitions, and examples, this booklet can be used for self-testing before national and end-of-term exams. It is an indispensable resource for parents, teachers, and students who want learning to be fun and easy.
