MATHEMATICAL OPERATIONS 

We use arithmetic operations in our everyday life. Suppose you have chocolates and you have to distribute them among your friends equally. How will you do it? Simply just count the friends and divide it equally. Just like when you go out for shopping and you pay. How do you know that the total amount you need to pay? Simply by adding the cost of the items.

  • Relationship between addition and subtraction 

  • Properties of multiplication and multiplication of special numbers 

  • Properties of division and division of special numbers
