    The document provides examples of performing operations on numbers represented in non-decimal number systems such as Mayan, base 5, and base 20. It includes examples of translating between number systems, performing addition, subtraction, and division on numbers in alternate bases, and identifying patterns in sequences by performing operations on successive pairs of numbers. The goal is to assess understanding of operations on numbers represented in non-Hindu-Arabic number systems.

    Concept Quiz #1
    Solutions appear in red type. There are different ways to solve these
    problems that could lead to the "correct" answer.

    Standard #1. Translate numbers from non-Hindu-Arabic systems into


    decimal form and back.

    Write this number in decimal form. Write the number 724 in the
    Mayan number system. Explain
    your work.

    We need 1 in the 400s place, 16 in


    This represents 4 in the the 20s place, and 4 in the 1s
    400s place. place, since
    1*400 + 16*20 + 4*1 = 724.
    4*400 = 1600.
    Next, choose the correct symbols
    and right them vertically, with the
    highest place value on top.
    This is a 0 in the 20s
    place, it adds no value.

    This represents 14 in the


    1s place.

    The total value is 1614

    Standard #2. Perform operations on numbers in alternate bases.

    Perform these operations on Perform these operations on


    numbers in base 5. numbers in base 20.

    31 + 12 = 43 (nothing carries) [7 : 14 : 3] + [5 : 0 : 10] =


    [12:14:13]
    103 + 44 = 147
    carry the 5 =152 [12 : 12 ] + [ 1 : 13 : 14]
    carry the 5 =202 [1: 25: 26] = [2:6:6] (carry 20s
    twice)
    Name:_________________________________
    Period:____________
    23 – 14 = 18 - 14 (borrow 5 from
    the 5s place) = 4 [19 : 0] – [13 : 1] = [18:20]-
    [13:1]= [5:19]

    244 – 132 = 112


    [ 7 : 7 ] – [ 5 : 15 ]
    = [6:27]-[5:15] = [1:12]

    Standard #3. Determine patterns in a sequence of numbers by


    performing operations on successive pairs.

    What patterns are in the sequence What patterns are in the sequence

    11 , 22, 33, 44, … ? 1, 20, 360, 7200, 144000,


    2880000, … ?
    Each number increases by 11.
    Also all of the numbers are The 2nd to the 3rd term increases
    multiples of 11. by a factor of 18, while every
    other term increases by a factor of
    What are the next three terms of 20.
    this sequence? (term means
    number in this context) Represent the number 1000000
    using the sequence terms above
    55, 66, and 77 as base values in a number
    system.
    What would the 10th term of this
    sequence be? Explain how you Base 10 number: 1000000
    found it.
    144000s | 7200s |360s|20s |1s
    The 10th term is 110. Each add
    up to that amount, or make a rule. Answer: [6:18:17:14 :0]

    1000000 - 6*144000 = 136000


    136000 - 18*7200 = 6400
    6400 - 17*360 = 280
    280 - 14*20 = 0.
