Question 1 (28)
1.1. Define and give examples with the aid of drawings for the following types
of basic numbers:
a) Ordinal (4)

represented by the corresponding numerical symbols (1, 2, 3, etc.).

colors (red, blue, green), shapes (circle, square, triangle), or types of animals (cat,
dog, bird).
1.2. How is fractions linked to decimals and percentages? Use the fraction
“two thirds” to show this relationship. Explain this relationship to a grade 4
learner. (6)
Fractions are a way of expressing a part of a whole. Decimals and percentages are
alternative ways of expressing fractions.
The fraction two thirds can be written as a decimal by dividing the numerator (2) by
the denominator (3): 2 ÷ 3 = 0.666... (repeating).
To convert a decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100: 0.666... x 100 = 66.6...%.
To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100: 66.6...% ÷ 100 = 0.666...
