C. Doubling and halving

1. Write the next eight numbers in each pattern:

a. 1 2 4 8 16 32

b. 2 000 1 000

c. 50 100

The pattern 3 6 12 24 48 .......... may be called the repeated

doubling pattern that starts with 3.

2. Write the first nine terms of the repeated doubling patterns that start with the

numbers in the left column of the table. The pattern for 13 has been completed

as an example.

Doubling can be used to do multiplication.

For example, 29 × 8 can be calculated as follows:

8 doubled is 16, so 16 = 2 × 8 (step 1)

16 doubled is 32, so 32 = 4 × 8 (step 2)

32 doubled is 64, so 64 = 8 × 8 (step 3)

64 doubled is 128, so 128 = 16 × 8 (step 4). Doubling again will go past 29 × 8.

16 × 8 + 8 × 8 + 4 × 8 = (16 + 8 + 4) × 8 = 28 × 8.

So 28 × 8 = 128 + 64 + 32 which is 224. So 29 × 8 = 224 + 8 = 232.

3. Work as in the above example to calculate each of the following. Write only

what you need to write.

a. 37 × 21 (b) 17 × 41

4. Continue each repeated halving pattern as far as you can:

a. 1 024 512 256 128

b. 64 000 32 000 16 000

Halving can also be used to do multiplication.

For example, 37 × 28 can be calculated as follows:

100 × 28 = 2 800. Half of that is 50 × 28 which is half of 2 800, that is 1 400.

Half of 50 × 28 is half of 1 400, so 25 × 28 is 700.

10 × 28 = 280, so 25 × 28 + 10 × 28 = 980, so 35 × 28 =

980. 2 × 28 = 2 × 25 + 2 × 3 = 56, so 37 × 28 is 980 + 56 =

1 036.

5. 80 × 78 = 6 240. Use this information to work out each of the following:

a. 20 × 78 (b) 37 × 78

D. Using multiplication to do division

1. R7 500 must be shared between 27 netball players. The money is in R10 notes,

and no small change is available.

(a) How much money will be used to give each player R100?

(b) Do you think there is enough money to give each player R200?

(c) Do you think there is enough money to give each player R300?

(d) How much of the R7 500 will be left over, if each player is given R200?

(e) Is there enough money left to give each player R50 more, in other words a total

of R250 each?

(f) What is the highest amount that can be given to each player, so that less than

R270 is left over? Remember that you cannot split up the R10 notes.

2. Work like you did in question 1 to solve this problem:

There is 4 580 m of string on a big roll. How many pieces of 17 m each can be cut

from this roll?

Hint: You may start by asking yourself how much string will be used if you cut off

100 pieces of 17 m each.

3. Work like you did in questions 1 and 2 to solve this problem:

A shop owner has R1 800 available with which he can buy chickens from a farmer.

The farmer wants R26 for each chicken. How many chickens can the shop owner

buy?

Division is called the inverse of multiplication.

Multiplication is called the inverse of division.

Multiplication and division are inverse operations.

Topic 2: Cell phone towers

Investigation: A cell phone tower as a frame structure

A cell phone tower is an example of a frame structure. Why do we call this type of tower a

frame structure? Try to analyse the definition by looking at the many different pieces used to

build the tower. Designers and engineers use triangulation to stiffen and support frames. What

is triangulation?

Activity 4 Case study – Examine existing towers strengthened by triangulation Evaluate the differences by thinking of the advantages and disadvantages of telephone systems. Class discussion: Compare a cell phone (mobile) to a landline phone. First, write a rough copy of the differences

in your books. When you write the differences, think of the following: the purpose, safety, cost

and the impact on the environment and society.

Landline vs Mobile phones

Environment means surroundings Impact means influence / effect

Advantage Disadvantage

Mobile Phones

Landlines

Topic 3: Cell phone design

Cell Phones

• Cell phones are designed to work on cellular networks, e.g. Vodacom, MTN and CellC..

• Various kinds of cell phones are available, e.g. Samsung, Nokia and Sony.

• Although there is a large variety to choose from, most have a set standard of services that

allow phones of different types to communicate with each other.

• Roaming permits the same phone to be used in various countries, provided the operators

of both countries have a roaming agreement.

• If a modem is attached, the operator can send and receive data.

• Various applications are available such as a clock, alarm, calendar and games. It is also

possible to send and receive pictures and videos.

• Most phones have bluetooth and integrated or connected GPS receivers. People can

choose between a ring tone, a vibrating alert or a combination of both.
