composite number has two or more factors whereas prime numbers only has
two factors being 1 and itself.

1.2.5. Name four types of models in learning fractions and how they can be
progressively used in an intermediate phase mathematics classroom
➢ Volume model: A volume model is a concrete model of known fluids that is used
to illustrate fractions. This concept assists learners in determining the many
levels of how full something is and how much space is left. They also use
fractions to develop a measurement context.
➢ Discrete model: It's fraction squares or circles in which individual fraction
components can be physically separated from the whole. This assists learners in
comparing fraction sizes and the relative sizes of different fractions in relation to
a whole.
➢ Area model: The area model is a shape that is divided into equal portions to
represent fractions and can be used to illustrate specific fraction concepts. It
assists learners in fitting a fraction of a whole number into a fraction of a
fraction, multiplying fractions, and understanding equivalent fractions.
➢ Length model: On a number line, the whole is given in intervals. Learners will
develop an understanding of equal lengths as well as a number line context. It
involves the placement of fractions on a number line
QUESTION 2

2.5. Calculate 76 x 99 using distributive law.
7 99 + 6 99
= 693 594
= 411 642
2.6.1. Write two properties of 0.
➢ When you add or subtract zero from a number, the addition property of zero
states that the value does not change.
➢ Zero times any number equals zero, according to the multiplication property of
zero.
2.6.2. Write two properties of 1.
➢ Any number multiplied by 1 retains its identity, according to the identity
property of 1. To put it another way, any number multiplied by one remains the
same. Because multiplying by one creates one copy of the number, the result
remains the same.
➢ Because the identity of the number remains the same, it is also known as the
Identity property of multiplication.
