 Preface
We are pleased to launch a thoroughly revised edition of this workbook. We welcome feedback from
students, teachers, educators and parents. For improvements in the next edition, please send your
suggestions at info@crestolympiads.com. Our team will make an effort to work on those suggestions.

CREST Olympiads is one of the largest Olympiad Exams with students from more than 60 countries.
The objective of these exams is to build a competitive spirit while evaluating students on conceptual
understanding of the concepts.

We strive to provide a superior learning experience, and this workbook is designed to complement
the school studies and prepare the students for various competitive exams including the CREST
Olympiads. This workbook provides a crisp summary of the topics followed by the practice questions.
These questions encourage the students to think analytically, to be creative and to come up with
solutions of their own. There is a previous year's paper given at the end of this workbook for the
students to attempt after completing the syllabus. This paper should be attempted in 1 hour to get an
assessment of the student’s preparation for the final exam.

 Chapter
1 Number Sense
Number
Numbers are the core part of mathematics. In this workbook, the students will be introduced to five-
digit numbers and their operations.

The smallest five-digit number is 10000.

It is named as ten thousand.

The biggest five-digit number is 99999.

It is named as Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine.

Let us see how to write five-digit numbers in words.

According to their values, the digits are placed from right to left as one’s place, ten’s place, hundred’s
place, thousand’s place and ten thousand’s place. Any number can be written just as a number or in
expanded form or as number name.

For example, let us take 43176:

Any number can be written just as a number or in expanded form or as number name.

40000 + 3000 + 100 + 70 + 6

We know that:

40000 = Forty thousand (4 ten thousands)

3000 = Three thousand (3 thousands)

100 = One hundred (1 hundred)

Number Sense

70 = Seventy (7 tens)

6 = Six (6 ones)

When added together it is written as:

43176 = Forty-three thousand one hundred and seventy-six.

Odd Number
The numbers which are not completely divisible by 2 are called odd numbers. They always leave a
remainder 1 when divided by 2.

For example: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, etc.

Even Number
The numbers which are completely divisible by 2 are called even numbers. They never leave a
remainder. The remainder is always zero.

For example: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc.

Place Value
Place value is the value of each digit in a number. The value of every digit in a number is different
based upon its position (one’s place or ten’s place or hundred’s place).
For example, the place value of 4 in 541 is 4 × 10 = 40.

Face Value
The face value of a digit in a number is the digit itself.

For example, the face value of 4 in 541 is 4.

Note:

Place value of a digit = (face value of the digit) × (value of the place)

• The place value of 5 in 541 = 5 x 100 = 500

• 5 tens mean we multiply 5 with 10 = 50

Number Sense

Unitary Method
It is a technique in which the value of single unit is determined using the given information. Using this
method, we can also determine the value of the multiple quantities.

For example, if 4 kg of sugar costs $40, we can calculate the cost of 1 kg of sugar by dividing the
quantities.

4 kg = $40
1 kg = $40/4 = $10

We can obtain the value of 1 kg of sugar which comes out to be $10.

We can also use this method further to calculate the value of 5 kg of sugar by simply multiplying the
value.

1 kg = $10

5 kg = $10 × 5 = $50

Hence, 5 kg of sugar costs $50.

Natural Numbers
The positive numbers starting from 1 to the last number, i.e., infinity are known as natural numbers
excluding fractions and decimals.

“0” is not a natural number.

Natural numbers are represented as “N.”

For example:

4 is a natural number.

-2 is not a natural number.

0.5 is not a natural number.

7/2 is not a natural number.

Number Sense

Roman Numbers
It is a numeral system that originated in Rome. We use this method to represent the numbers.

We will discuss some commonly used numerals

For example: 72 is written as LXXII

Where L = 50, XX = 20 and II = 2

Ascending Order
Arranging numbers (or other items) in ascending order means arranging them from smallest to
largest.

For example: 51, 14 and 20 can be arranged in the ascending order as:
14, 20 and 51.

Descending Order
Arranging numbers (or other items) in descending order means arranging them from largest to
smallest.

For example: 51, 14 and 20 can be arranged in the descending order as:
51, 20 and 14

Number Sense

Factors
A factor is a number that divides other number completely without leaving any remainder.
In other words, if a dividend is exactly divisible by any divisor, then the divisor is a factor of that
dividend.

For example:
1 is a factor of 6
2 is a factor of 6
3 is a factor of 6
6 is a factor of 6
This means 6 has 4 factors.

Multiples
A multiple of a number is a number that is the product of a given number and some other natural
number. This means that those numbers appearing in the mathematical table of a particular number
are called multiples. For example, if 6 appears in 1, 2, 3, and 6 tables, then 6 is a multiple of all these
4 numbers.

For example:

6 is a multiple of 1
6 is a multiple of 2
6 is a multiple of 3
6 is a multiple of 6

Rounding up of Numbers
Rounding up is a process to estimate a particular number or an approximate value in a context. To
round a number, look at the next digit in the right place, if the digit is less than 5, round down and if
the digit is 5 or more than 5, round up.

For example: Round 1045 to the nearest 100.

Since 4 is less than 5, we will round down and the answer will be 1000.

Number Sense

Let us solve some examples to understand the topic better.

Example 1: How many even factors are present for 18?

a. 0 b. 1
c. 2 d. 3

Solution 1: d

1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 18 are factors of 18 out of which 2, 6 and 18 are even numbers so there are three
even factors of 18.

Example 2: What is the Roman representation of two hundred sixty-five?

a. CCLXV b. CCLXIV
c. CLXIV d. CCLXXV

Solution 2: a

Two hundred sixty-five = 265

Roman number for 200 = CC

Roman number for 60 = LX

Roman number for 5 = V

So, 265 = CCLXV
