SIMPLE AND EASY STEPS TO LEARN ARITHMETIC

Step 1:

UNDERSTAND SYMBOLS OF NUMBERS

Basic symbols of numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Beyond that numbers are constructed by combining these basic numbers.

Step 2:

MEMORIZE COUNTING

Memorize counting from 0 to 100 and more as you can. Each next number is constructed when 1 is added to previous number.

Step 3:

UNDERSTAND NUMBER SYSTEM

NATURAL NUMBERS:

Each 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9, 10……… is a Natural Number.
1 is smallest natural number.
Largest natural number can not be determined, so we call it infinity.
Difference between two consecutive numbers is 1.

WHOLE NUMBERS:

Each 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10……… is a Whole Number.
1 is smallest natural number.

Largest Whole Number can not be determined so we call it infinity.

Difference between two consecutive Whole Numbers  is 1.

Except Zero, every Whole Number is a Natural Number.

Step 4:

Learn  and  practice Adding Natural / Whole Numbers.

Step 4:

Learn and  practice Subtracting  Natural / Whole Numbers.

Step 5:

Understand and memorize Number Tables from Table of 2 to Table of 30. When we memorize particular table, there is constant difference of that number each time in that table. Suppose we are talking about table of 3, we write it as under:
3 x 1= 3
3 x 2= 6
3 x 3 =9
3 x 4= 12 …. and so on.

This means that we wrote 3 one time, then two times and added these two 3s. Similarly added three, four, five….times.

Similarly we can construct remaining tables and memorize these. For memorizing at least five repetitions are required with gap of times.

Learning of Tables can take some time. Keep patience. Loudly reciting of Tables to memorize is recommended.

Here it is pertinent to state that most of the candidates / students fail to memorize tables even they have passed their 12th class. The result is that they can not give desired out put in competitive exams. This is ironical. Memorizing Tables is extremely important.

Step 6:
Once you have learnt Tables up to 30, you are ready to carry out mathematical calculations with an ease.

Step 7:
Once you have done as above, then you may proceed further to under stand concept of Integers, Rational Numbers and Irrational Numbers.



Practice above and continue to watch next posts.
