Directed Numbers
1.1 The Concept and Applications of Directed Numbers
•
Students should be told that the sign ‘–’ is not the only indication
for negative numbers. For instance, in a monthly bank statement,
‘dr’ (debit) is used instead, and in accountancy, a pair of brackets
are used to indicate deficit.
•
Students may be asked to collect some telephone bills, credit card
statements, etc. and see what other symbols are used to represent
the debit and credit items.
1.2 Addition and Subtraction of Directed Numbers
1.3 Multiplication and Division of Directed Numbers
•
Students may be asked to give examples to illustrate the rules for
the multiplication of directed numbers.
